The American company Sealed Air has released a film with bubbles, which do not burst

Dear fellow citizens, colleagues and readers. Ladies and Gentlemen. Comrades. People. I have to tell you most unpleasant news. The American company has encroached on the holy of holies, a recognized tool for therapy and relaxation on the reason why we love to buy new electronics, and people working in warehouses, not only do not go crazy with the daily routine, but gradually learn Zen.

Company Sealed Air Corporation , who presented in 1960, the famous bubble packaging film, commonly referred to as "pupyrkoy" now wants to take it away from Us: 1 July, she has introduced a new version of the film , whose do not burst the bubbles!



FER-chpok:
How much of these sounds
For our heart merged.
How many of them responded.

The cause of the tragedy is commonplace business. It is no secret that pupyrchatoy film takes on a roll a lot of space thanks to its main feature - the presence in the air. The air in the bubbles is damper and prevents beat and break the delicate parts and devices, which are wrapped in foil. But its main advantage and simultaneously turns the main drawback - too large volume increases the cost of transportation and storage. The film takes a lot of space.

The solution was the release of a new kind of film: it comes in a relatively small rolls in a compressed form, and inflated using a special device has on-site, for example, in a warehouse. The new film takes 47 times less volume than the old rolls. Unfortunately, the technology for manufacturing the new film is that the bubbles she gets more and they do not burst.





To dilute the slightly bleak, said that the company has no plans to completely abandon the old version of the film. The turnover of this business only in 2013 was $ 20 billion. Machines for inflating the new film also cost money. And of course, there is always the alternative manufacturers.

Despite the fact that the film was invented almost 60 years ago, in 1957, and introduced in the market in 1960, it still remains a major packaging material. Versatility, simplicity, reliability and relatively low cost make it an indispensable attribute of warehouses, stores and delivery services. The patent expired on the film in 1981. However, representatives of Sealed Air Corporation believe that their proprietary technology of production of the "right" film still remains a trade secret.



It is difficult to predict whether disappear completely familiar pupyrka from warehouses. While the cost of the device for inflating a new film in the US is $ 5,500, by 2017 the company hopes to reduce the cost to $ 1,000.

"Popping bubble" like so many people, from infants to the elderly. There is a community of fans of the film bubble. The Russian advertising agency Sorec-Media in 2004 invented make films based on the calendar where each day He was appointed to his bubble, and it was necessary to gradually "burst." A Japanese inventor has created a silicone toy Bandai Mugen Puchipuchi , aka «Puti Puti», simulating the sensation of bubbles bursting film.
