Bubble Wrap

MrMatteh · 13 Feb 2006 at 16:10

I'm sending a large item via a courrier (a front bumper!) and i need to package it, somehow.

I was thinking of just wrapping it in bubble wrap to protect it (its not fragile or easily breakable).

However, I can't find any shops that sell rolls of it

Does anyone know of a place where i can just buy a big roll?

Cheers

Insulation? really?!

yes, if i wrap it in a few layers of bubble wrap job done.

Making make-shift box will be fairly complex. its a big ol thing! (clio williams front bumper)

its fairly rigid on its own, just want to protect against scratches

but just incase, where can i pick up a whole load of boxes from?

used to work in a warehouse where copious amounts of boxes and bubble wrap were available, d'oh!
