Default Bubble wrap marks?!

I received a steelbook that was wrapped in bubble wrap...
and now there are bubble wrap stains! And they don't wipe off...they're pretty in there.

Has anybody had this problem before? Please help!

How can bubble wrap leave stains? Do you have a pic?

I think he means imprints from the bubble wrap - can happen sometimes if the bubble wrap is low quality

Yes this is a problem for many sealed collector's

They are packed the wrong way round, there is a reason that the bubbles are on one side only.

What happens is when they get pressure experted on them for long periods they leave indentations on the seal.

Also if bubble wrap is dirty from dust, etc - they leave the marks because again pressures onto it during shipping.

I have received a few like this, don't bother cleaning it unless you use a very clean link free cloth, even then more likely to add imperfections.

Facing outwards I think, so that any impact they receive will cause them to burst, protecting the contents, whereas if they are inwards they can't burst as easily to prevent impact? xx
