The creation of bubble wrap begins with polyethylene, a type of clear plastic. It starts out as small, identical beads of resin which are passed through an extrusion machine. The bottom sheet is then adhered to the top, trapping air inside the bubble pockets and creating what we see as an unbroken surface.24 Jun 2015
How do they get bubbles in bubble wrap?
Bubble wrap is made from tiny beads of resin with different properties. The resin is then combined and melted to form a thin film. Next, the film is flattened to the desired thickness and fed through rollers. These rollers have small holes which vacuum air onto the film to form the air bubbles.21 Aug 2021
