CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- This year's annual
Bubble Wrap® Appreciation Day – celebrated today – is all about
getting out the vote. Sealed Air, the company that manufactures the
plastic packaging solution, invites Bubble Wrap fans to cast their
ballots in its Pop the Vote contest to determine the next bubble
shape.
The Bubble Wrap everyone knows and loves is no longer relegated
to a common, cellular shape. Bubble Wrap (specifically, the
inflatable Bubble Wrap IB brand) can now be made into stars,
hearts, smiley faces, and more. The new offerings are part of the
Expressions line, which also offers special phrases, logos and
colors.
Visit the Pop the Vote webpage (sealedair.com/popthevote) today
through February 13 to cast a vote.
The most popular option will be revealed on Bubble Wrap's Facebook,
Instagram and Twitter feeds February
17 at 10:15 a.m. EST. Soon
after the revelation, the winning option will be added to the
Bubble Wrap IB Expressions line.
Voters have three categories from which to choose:
Greetings – Thank You, Congrats, Hugs & Kisses
XOXO;
Shapes – Ice cream cone, Sun, Flower, Dog Bone, Music Notes;
and
Patterns – Basket wave, Cable knit, Chevron.
In addition to participating in Pop the Vote on Bubble Wrap
Appreciation Day, fans are encouraged to visit the Bubble Wrap
Appreciation Day webpage and show their love for the product on
their social media accounts. Here are a few sharing ideas:

- Make "pop" art using Bubble Wrap to create your own

About Bubble Wrap®
In 1957, Alfred W. Fielding and
Marc Chavannes set out to create a
new wall covering by laminating two plastic sheets with air bubbles
in between. Although their invention never caught on as interior
decor, the two men discovered the material's light weight and
insulating properties were very useful – first as greenhouse
insulation and then as the packing material we now know as Bubble
Wrap®. In 1960, Fielding and Chavannes founded Sealed Air
Corporation with Bubble Wrap® as the company's signature
brand. Learn more here.
