**If you are wrapping sensitive electronics (anything with a hard drive or CPU in it), see my note at the bottom**
I first purchased the 350' x 3/16" bubble wrap from these guys 6 months ago to start packing up my elderly mom's home of 30 years. Now I'm getting to the bigger stuff, so need bigger bubbles. Just got the roll of 175' x 1/2" bubble wrap and am glad I went with the same business who provided me with a good product at a great price. THE ONLY time I bought bubble wrap from elsewhere they put the roll into a thin, cheap plastic bag like you'd see the cleaning staff putting in an office wastebasket, and slapped a shipping lable on it. Lame! Not with this seller. They stuck the rolls one on top of the other and then wrapped in a strong plastic shrink-like wrapping I've seen pros do. When I saw the rolls on my doorstep my first thought was that they accidentlly sent one 24" wide roll instead of 2 x 12" wide rolls. Nope, just packaged really well. Thank you!
I'm packing everything imaginable from dishes to housewares, tools to electronics, and so on. Both the 3/16' and 1/2" sheets tear at the perforation where it should. I have to be careful and not get in too big of a hurry with the 3/16" bubbles or it will start to rip. That's on me. I always have knife/scissors near when working, so its no big deal to use a straight edge to get it started at the edge when separating sheets. These 1/2" bubbles are tougher and should hold up well to the abuse I'm about to put them through with the bigger and heavier stuff. I'm be doing the move in the next few weeks (god help me!), so if things don't go well with the rolls of wrap I'll post an update accordingly.
** If you are packing/shipping electronics, you need to buy the PINK Anti-Static type of bubble wrap - NOT the Red stuff. Regular plastic wrap can build up static electicity really fast when it's moving around and rubbing. If it goes to ground and zaps your precious electronics/gadgets, bad things will happen. I was an IT Pro and built hundreds of computers. Ive seen the types of problems static discharge and very small amounts of electricity causes, and you are better off paying the extra to get the PINK Anti-static kind (and NOT the RED STUFF! It isn't anti-static).
