Recycled Grade Bubble - by American Bubble Boy (12" Wide, 700 Square Feet)

Does the job, more cost effective than others

Just as advertised, 12 inch sheets peferated at 12 inch intervals. Easy tear.

Updated: Seems to be a thicker product now. Original review: I've used this brand for at least 2 years and loved it. The price and quality were great! Now it's thin and pops easily. We've had to file more claims due to things breaking during shipping and that's with using almost twice as much bubble wrap because we can tell the quality has gone down. Sometimes claims are denied even though we have insurance. We are having to pay $1,200 to repair something that was broken during shipping even though it was insured for $3,000. I cannot recommend them unless they let us know they are switching back.

Worked as expected,

This is a superior product because it is properly perforated and tears neatly into 12x12 squares. This is essential to our shipping process and we have tried a number of other brands but had to switch because they weren't able to be easily perforated.

Bubble wrap is bubble wrap to a certain degree. This recycled bubble wrap is thinner and honestly much flimsier than I am used to, and the bubbles are not filled with air very well. I had to use almost twice as much to get the padding that I needed. They're not flat, but they're definitely not firm bubbles. Another issue is the scored sections for tearing. Half the time, they don't tear properly. They rip sideways instead, which ruins whole sections. I gave up and switched to scissors partway through a large order that I was packing.I do complain about the price, although I know it's across the board with every bubble wrap seller. (The price has come down slightly since I placed my order.) American Bubble Boy usually has great quality bubble wrap, in my experience, which has something to do with my disappointment. To me, for the price, the quality of this product should be much better. That said, it did function as bubble wrap and I was able to finish packing the order.I can generally recommend American Bubble Boy for bubble wrap, but I'm not confident about recommending this particular recycled product.

My husband bought this for his home-based business and says, "I love this bubble wrap! I chose it the first time for the price. I re-bought the same product for the quality and ease of use. It's lighter weight than other wrap with the same bubble size, which decreases shipping costs while still providing the same protection for my products. While most bubble wrap has perforations every 12", I especially love how easy it is with this wrap to find and tear at those perforations. With so many others I've had to hunt for the spot with the perforations, and then they don't tear off easily or cleanly. This wrap is excellent for that! And on top of that, it's 90% recycled plastic, which I love! I can't say enough good things about this product. I will definitely buy again!"

I am using this to pack antique crystal and couldn't be more pleased! Some reviews mentioned that it did not easily tear across the material in the perforated spots. Sometimes it doesn't, but the REALLY GOOD NEWS is that it will tear most straight across the bubble wrap at any place that you choose! Even better than having to deal with the perforations! You can choose any length that you want. Great Product!
