Bubble Wrap® Appreciation Day is celebrated every year on the last Monday in January. Despite the attempts of imitators, there is only one Bubble Wrap®; a product which has transcended its intended use of protecting valuables to become a "pop" culture phenomenon.
Bubble Wrap® brand cushioning is most recognized for the satisfying release and gleeful joy that comes with the popping of each plastic cell.
The invention of Bubble Wrap® brand cushioning led to the founding of Sealed Air, a Fortune 500 Company that owns the registered trademark, in 1960. Today, Sealed Air operates in 51 countries and each year the company makes enough Bubble Wrap® to stretch to the moon and back.
