    Did the original version of bubble wrap pop so often during transit that engineering a 'better' version was necessary?

      I can't imagine so, the reason bubble wrap was so good was that it required a ton of force on a small area for just one bubble to pop. And in transit there's not often a lot of specific force, rather there was a lot of force that was spread out. Bubble wrap is great at that because it can spread out the force amongst thousands of bubbles.

      Bubbles.
