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.

The new offerings are part of the Expressions line, which also offers special phrases, logos and colors.

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.

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.
