The Amazon Basics bubble wrap is supposed to be perforated every 12 inches to make tearing easier. But based on our findings, this feature doesn't always deliver. Some folks have a tough time spotting and using these perforations and might end up grabbing scissors instead.

The wrap does have lines indicating where to tear, but they might be a bit subtle. You might find yourself peering at the roll to locate them, which can be a bit of a hassle, especially when you're knee-deep in packing.

On the bright side, the bubble wrap does a great job protecting fragile items, whether you're moving or shipping. The manufacturer says it's thin yet effective, and it seems to hold up to that claim, even if the perforations aren't perfect.

So if easy tearing is your main concern, you might run into some issues with this wrap. Just something to keep in mind when you're choosing bubble wrap for your next packing marathon.
