Plastic bubble refers to a transparent, plastic container used to protect items from damage in transit. There are several synonyms for this term, including blister pack, clamshell, bubble pack and bubble wrap. Blister pack is a hard plastic casing with a clear front, typically used for packaging medicine, while clamshell packaging looks like a clam with two plastic halves that snap together. Bubble pack is similar to clamshell packaging but with a plastic bubble on one side, while bubble wrap is a sheet of small air-filled plastic bubbles used for cushioning fragile items. Regardless of the term used, these packaging materials provide a protective layer for delicate items during shipping and handling.
