The currently popular practice is to stretch-wrap stuff
to a cardboard backer, then put it in a box with bubble
wrap or biodegradable peanuts or some shredded paper stuff


these parts came in anti-static bag placed in foam layers and inside a box
that box was wrapped with this stuff against cardboard that was press fit
into a larger shipping box

so no peanuts bubble wrap or excelsior just air with the press fit cardboard
and wrap holding the smaller box in place

If you're getting a whole pallet of stuff, the boxes will
be stacked on the pallet and then the whole mess wrapped
with about 20 yards of stretch-wrap.


there is that kind of stretch and who has not seen that stuff

this is different than anything i have seen

differences are that it does not stick to itself as much as that pallet wrap
i think it is thicker
it stretches far beyond pallet wrap
it also returns to original size which pallet wrap does not do
it is very clear
i think technically speaking it has a refractive index very close to one
it is almost like clear rubber

it is quite unusual to me and i have not seen it before

try to find some it is kind of amazing
