Well, Stockticker and KRS - here it is! Since it is almost spring and that means life begins anew, I thought maybe this thread should begin anew, too!
I really usually wrap with bubbles out - if there are any left after my daughters get ahold of them!

We don't neeeed no stinkin bubbles....black & white newspaper wrapped a few times around...throw it in a box and blame the PO.
Why should I spend all that money to protect stuff, double box and bubbles, marked FRAGILE. So that a Postal Employee can drop it from counter height in front of the customer and reply I didn't see the FRAGILE sign...all 6 sides in 70 Point RED TYPE...course we know they hire the handicapped!! Hey I have 500 plus positives and I've only shipped 45 items "What me WORRY???"
OK, OK now I know why I need bubble wrap...thanks Stockticker

Stockticker Love the link!
I'm undecided about the in or out. I'm thinkin that this is such a serious question!  Depending on the final answer it could impact the very survival of glass and ceramic for a very long time... I'll have to give this some more thought and get back with ya.
Not paranoid anywhere else but here!

Bubble in! Try wrapping an item with the same length of bubble, first with the bubbles in, then with them facing out. See how much more unprotected the item is when the bubbles face out.
Facing them in brings the bubbles closer together, especially on something that is rounded. It's also easier to tape the smooth side, and to undo the tape without popping the bubbles.

I prefer used pizza boxes (w/ the critters) - but when I invest in bubble wrap, bubbles in.

The same as worrying over which way to hang the toilet paper.

I keeping *trying* to read this thread, but my mind keeps wandering back to the flea market I attended on Sunday. While walking down one aisle I was at first enchanted to see hundreds of bubble floating on the breeze. Then I saw where they were coming from. An elevated shelf at one stall held a figurine of a man bent over & with his pants down. The bubbles were being emitted from the thing's rear end...

MrsSantaClaus...first an apology this is off thread but Bunnicula's experience made me
Chortle! I had a topless candy dish for sale in one of the co-ops and because it was a seashell motif I placed three shell shaped soaps in it and suggested it would be great for a guest bath. Well before it sold I was
refreshing the booth and noticed that something had nibbled on the soaps...thinking some nut thought they were candy I removed them only to find tell tale leavings of a "Mouse" Everyone in the shop was keeping an eye out for a bubble blowing mouse (either end)!
I think bubbles in is best in that they are drawn closer together when following the form of a dimensional item. And extra rolled and wrapped around square corners of items like heavey square cake salvers.
