bubble-wrap
Shipper's air pockets
Bubble wrap is a flexible plastic sheet embedded with small air-filled bubbles, used as protective packaging material to cushion fragile items during shipping or storage.
The bubbles absorb shock and prevent damage.
As a verb, to bubble-wrap something is to wrap it in this material: Make sure you bubble-wrap the glasses before packing them.
The satisfying pop of the bubbles has made it a popular fidget activity.
