Bubble Wrap® Appreciation Day

Bubble Wrap® Appreciation Day

This is one of the days that I look forward to most during the year. Well at least the ReSeller in me does. This is the day that I stock up on Bubble Wrap® for the entire year. Last year I ordered 5 large rolls and as I type this I'm on my last roll. I didn't think I'd make it through Christmas but luckily there is about a 1/4 of a roll left which might get me through the rest of the month.

Here are the details from their website: Fastpack's 8th Annual Bubble Wrap® Appreciation Day is January 30, 2012, and lasts for 24 hours! All products listed on this page will be offered with Free Shipping! Sale starts at 12:01am EST on January 30, 2012 and ends 24 hours later."

The rolls come in different colors. I love the blue and purple the best. Sometimes I order red and green. I like to shake things up a bit and sometimes order 1 roll of each color. I've had a few costumers write to me to compliment the colored Bubble Wrap®.

Last year I ordered 5 rolls that each measured 230 feet long by 12 inches wide. Each roll cost me $17.45 which equals around 7 cents a sheet. (I'm not sure if the price will be higher this year or not. This price above reflects the 2011 sale cost)

Amazon has a box of Scotch Bubble Wrap that measures 100 feet. Their price is $15.99 and includes free shipping if you are a Prime member. Their cost would be .16 cents a sheet.

What's the quality like? I'd probably consider it to be good quality. Not brilliant but not poor. Sometimes it doesn't tear neatly especially if I'm leaning over 3 boxes of packing peanuts to get to the wrap. Perhaps that tells more about my tearing skills than the quality of the wrap. I do find that it works perfectly for the glassware that I wrap. I've not had anything arrive broken or damaged.

Now the best kept secret about the Bubble Wrap® is the enjoyment the children get the day that a tower of Bubble Wrap® is waiting for them outside the front door. The Bubble Wrap® usually hangs around a few days in the living room. They Bubble Wrap® arrives with a thick, clear, plastic wrap around it. The kids tend to bowl with them, make tall towers, roll on them and laugh as they bounce them off each other.

Thank you for telling us. I buy two big rolls a month to ship glassware, and a roll of the smaller wrap every other month so it gets expensive. I just ordered more yesterday :/ but I like the idea of stocking up--if I can jst figure out where to store it!

I get bubblewrap for free from people in my community via Freecycle (freecycle.org). No fancy colors but free and recycled!
