Bubble wrap--bubbles on the inside or out?

[Kermit]

I'm packing things up so that we can move to Dallas next week. Do the bubbles go on the inside or outside of the things I'm wrapping? I'm thinking the inside, but I don't want to find out the hard way that I was wrong.

Bubble side goes closest to the item it is protecting...so I guess that means "inside"?

I've always done it inside. Had a cross country move and everything was still in one piece.

Yes, that's what I was thinking. Thank you!

My dad owns a moving company and that is what he does - with the bubbles on the inside.

When I sell books on ebay, though, I usually have the bubbles on the outside.

BTW good luck in your move... that's quite a trek!
