Abstract: A plastic web composes plural laminae mutually defining a multiplicity of gas-filled bubbles, the plastic web being formed so as to include printing on an exterior surface of the web. The printing is included in the plastic web in such a manner as to be an integral part of the web.Additionally disclosed are methods for manufacturing the above-described plastic web, the methods enabling the production of the plastic web with printing thereon to take place without engendering significant extra expense over and above the expense of creating a similar plastic web which does not include printing as an integral part thereof.
