Bubble wrap was originally intended to be wallpaper
You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. by engineers Alfred W. Fielding and Marc Chavannes, who sealed two ****** curtains together, creating a smattering of air bubbles, which they initially tried to sell as wallpaper. Then, in 1960, they realized their product could be used for protection in packaging, and they founded Sealed Air Corporation.
When the inventors showed the product to IBM, which had just launched its first mass-produced computers, the tech company became the first big bubble wrap client. Sealed Air still exists today, creating both Cryovac food packaging and yes, bubble wrap.
