protective wrapping
Material preventing damage
Protective wrapping is material used to cushion, shield, or preserve items during storage or transport.
The phrase covers everything from bubble wrap around fragile goods to plastic film on new electronics: Remove the protective wrapping before use.
The term emphasizes function over material—paper, plastic, foam, or fabric all qualify if they serve to protect.
