I was recently in Spain and did not know how to ask for "bubble wrap" at the post office for packing. Is there a phrase for that? They also looked puzzled when I asked for a mailing tube. What is the term?

Wouldn't it be nice if the phrases were at least close as between Spanish and English. My big dictionary (Harper/Collins - 7th edition - 2003) states:
Bubble wrap = envoltorio de plástico con burbujas
I hope this is a help to you.

Actually we often say
papel de burbujas,
I know, makes no sense, it is not a paper material, but is used over here, also plástico de burbujas.
