I’m getting ready to travel to be with family for the holidays and my excitement is growing. Being with my large family is always exciting as all 20 of us pile into my parents, not so large, home. The days are full of food, fun and late nights playing games and laughing at fun family memories. Then we all settle into whatever corner of the house we can find and the unlucky couple gets the old inflatable mattress. You know the one I’m talking about- that 20 year-old dark blue blob of misery. The one that holds so much promise right when it’s first blown up but 20 minutes into the night you realize that half of your body is already hitting the floor and you can hear the air leaking right next to your head. In that moment, air loss is bad… very bad!
Air loss is also bad when it comes to your precious Christmas packages. It’s so frustrating to find out that the perfect gift you found for great aunt Martha shattered in the mail because the packaging material you used didn’t measure up. As the original inventor of Bubble Wrap® packaging, Sealed Air has spent decades mastering the art of protecting what’s precious to you, mostly through the power of air. Bubble Wrap brand cushioning retains nearly 50 percent more air than single layer polyethylene alternatives, thanks to a multi-layer barrier 100 times more resistant to air loss. A higher initial thickness and fullness allows Bubble Wrap brand cushioning to fill more void around your valuables than competitor materials — enabling you to ship smarter with less cost, material and waste. This superior air retention enables multiple reuse for later shipments without sacrificing cushioning strength or performance.

No matter how many different air mattresses we buy and try, they always seem to lose air and we end up sleeping on the ground by the morning.
We came out to our car at a public place and discovered not one but Two flat tires. There were some nails in them that we figured must have come off a truck that had been doing some construction work and were left on the street. Not fun as we only had 1 spare tire!
