Vagadziri vaviri vakashandura chiedzo chakakundikana kuita chigadzirwa chakakurumbira chakashandura indasitiri yekutumira.
Nepo mudiki Howard Fielding akanyatsobata gadziriso yababa vake isina kujairika mumaoko ake, akange asingazive kuti nhanho yake inotevera yaizomuita mutambi wemafashoni. Muruoko akabata plastic sheet rakavharwa nemafuro akazara nemhepo. Achimhanyisa zvigunwe zvake pamusoro pebhaisikopo rinosetsa, haana kukwanisa kukunda muedzo: akatanga kubuda mabubbles - sezvanga zvichiitwa nenyika yose kubva ipapo.
Saka Fielding, angangoita makore mashanu panguva iyoyo, akave munhu wekutanga kuputira bubble kuputira kungonakidzwa. Ichi chigadzirwa chakashandura indasitiri yekutumira, yakaunza zera ree-commerce, uye yakadzivirira mabhiriyoni ezvinhu zvinotumirwa kutenderera pasirese gore rega rega.
"Ndinorangarira ndichitarisa zvinhu izvi uye pfungwa yangu yaive yekuzvidzvanya," Fielding akadaro. “Ndakati ndini ndakatanga kuvhura bhurosi, asi ndine chokwadi chekuti hachisi chokwadi. Vakuru vekambani yababa vangu vangangove vakaita izvi kuti vave nechokwadi. Asi pamwe ndini ndaiva mwana wekutanga.
Akawedzerawo achiseka kuti, “Zvainakidza chaizvo kuvabudisa.
Baba vaFielding, Alfred, vakagadzira bubble wrap nemumwe wavo webhizinesi, Swiss chemist Marc Chavannes. Muna 1957, vakaedza kugadzira mufananidzo wakavezwa waizokwezva kune nyowani "Beat Generation." Vakamhanyisa zvidimbu zviviri zvepurasitiki yekugezesa keteni kuburikidza nechisimbiso chekupisa uye vakamboodzwa mwoyo nemhedzisiro: firimu rine mabhuru mukati.
Zvisinei, vagadziri vacho havana kuramba zvachose kukundikana kwavo. Vakagamuchira yekutanga yezvibvumirano zvakawanda pamusoro pemaitiro uye midziyo ye embossing uye laminating zvinhu, ndokubva vatanga kufunga nezvekushandisa kwavo: zvinopfuura 400 chaizvoizvo. Imwe yacho - greenhouse insulation - yakabviswa pabhodhi rekudhirowa, asi yakaguma yave yakabudirira seyakagadzirwa Wallpaper. Chigadzirwa chacho chakaedzwa mugreenhouse chikaonekwa chisisashande.
Kuti varambe vachigadzira chigadzirwa chavo chisina kujairika, chikwata cheBubble Wrap, Fielding and Chavannes chakavamba Sealed Air Corp. muna 1960. Rakanga riri gore rakatevera chete ravasarudza kuishandisa sechinhu chekuputira uye vakabudirira. IBM yakanga ichangobva kuunza iyo 1401 (yaifungidzirwa Model T muindasitiri yemakomputa) uye yaida nzira yekudzivirira iyo isina kusimba michina panguva yekutakura. Sezvavanotaura, zvimwe zvose inhoroondo.
"Iyi ndiyo mhinduro yeIBM kune dambudziko," akadaro Chad Stevens, mutevedzeri wemutungamiri wehunyanzvi uye engineering yeSealed Air's product services group. "Vanogona kudzosera makomputa akachengeteka uye aine ruzha. Izvi zvavhura musuwo wekuti mamwe mabhizinesi akawanda atange kushandisa bubble wrap."
Makambani madiki ekurongedza akakurumidza kutora tekinoroji nyowani. Kwavari, kuputira bubble igodsend. Kare, nzira yakanakisa yekudzivirira zvinhu panguva yekufambisa yaive yekuzviputira mumapepanhau akaunyana. Izvo zvakashata nekuti inki kubva mumapepanhau ekare kazhinji inobvisa chigadzirwa uye vanhu vanoshanda nacho. Uyezve, hainyatso kupa dziviriro yakawanda kudaro.
Sezvo kuputira bubble kwakakura mukuzivikanwa, Sealed Air yakatanga kusimukira. Chigadzirwa chacho chakasiyana-siyana muchimiro, ukuru, simba uye ukobvu kuti uwedzere huwandu hwemashandisirwo: mabhuru makuru uye madiki, marefu uye mapfupi mapepa, makuru uye mapfupi rolls. Zvichakadaro, vanhu vakawanda vari kuwana mufaro wekuvhura homwe idzo dzakazadzwa nemhepo (kunyangwe Stevens anobvuma kuti "kunyaradza kushushikana").
Zvisinei, kambani haisati yaita purofiti. TJ Dermot Dunphy akava CEO muna 1971. Akabatsira kukura kwekutengesa kwekambani kwepagore kubva pamadhora 5 miriyoni mugore rake rekutanga kusvika pamadhora mabhiriyoni matatu panguva yaakasiya kambani iyi muna 2000.
"Marc Chavannes aive muoni uye Al Fielding anga ari injinjiniya yekutanga," akadaro Dunphy, makumi masere nematanhatu, achiri kushanda mazuva ese kukambani yake yakazvimirira yekudyara uye manejimendi, Kildare Enterprises. Asi hapana mumwe wavo aida kutungamira kambani iyi. Vaida kungogadzira zvavakagadzira.
Muzvinabhizinesi nekudzidziswa, Dunphy akabatsira Sealed Air kudzikamisa mashandiro ayo uye kusiyanisa hwaro hwechigadzirwa. Akatowedzera mhando muindasitiri yekutuhwina. Bubble yekuputira dziva mavhavha ave akakurumbira zvakanyanya mumakore achangopfuura. Chivharo chine homwe dzemhepo dzakakura dzinobatsira kuteya mwaranzi yezuva uye kuchengetedza kupisa, saka mvura yedziva inogara ichidziya pasina kubuda mabhuru emhepo. Kambani yakazotengesa tambo.
Mudzimai waHoward Fielding, Barbara Hampton, nyanzvi yeruzivo rwepatent, akakurumidza kutaura kuti mapatendi anobvumira sei tezvara wake nemumwe wake kuita zvavanoita. Pakazara, vakagamuchira zvibvumirano zvitanhatu pakuputira bubble, mazhinji ayo ane chekuita neiyo embossing uye laminating epurasitiki, pamwe nemidziyo inodiwa. Muchokwadi, Marc Chavannes akambotambira ma patent maviri emafirimu e thermoplastic, asi pamwe akange asina mabhuru anobuda mupfungwa panguva iyoyo. "Patents inopa mukana wekuti vanhu vanogadzira vapihwe mibairo nekuda kwemazano avo," akadaro Hampton.
Nhasi, Sealed Air ikambani yeFortune 500 ine 2017 kutengesa kwemadhora mazana mana nemakumi mashanu emadhora, vashandi gumi nemashanu uye vanoshandira vatengi munyika dze122. Pakutanga yakavakirwa muNew Jersey, kambani yakaendesa muzinda wayo wepasi rose kuNorth Carolina mu 2016. Kambani inogadzira uye inotengesa zvinhu zvakasiyana-siyana, kusanganisira Cryovac, ipurasitiki yakaonda inoshandiswa kuisa zvokudya nezvimwe zvinhu. Sealed Air inotopa isina mhepo bubble packaging yekutumira isingadhure kune vatengi.
"Iyo inflatable vhezheni," Stevens akadaro. “Panzvimbo pemapepa akakura emhepo, tinotengesa mabhaisikopo akaputirwa zvakasimba nemuchina unowedzera mhepo sezvinodiwa. Anoshanda zvakanyanya.”
