A supply of inflatable pouches includes an inflatable web having two sheets sealed to define a series of inflatable in chambers having a closed distal end and an open proximal end providing an inflation port for each of the chambers. The chambers are arrayed in a transversely. The inflatable web includes a longitudinal fold defining two juxtaposed inflatable panels. A series of transverse seals bond the panels together to form a connected series of inflatable pouches between pairs of the transverse seals. The inflatable web includes a series of slits, each slit extending transversely in the two juxtaposed inflatable panels from the longitudinal fold for at least one inch. Each slit of the series is between adjacent inflatable pouches.

The disclosed embodiments relate to an insulative protective packaging material constructed using recyclable paper materials. The packaging material includes one or more plies of paper adhered to each other. The one or more plies can have protrusions that form gas pockets. The gas pockets can be sealed by another ply to provide shock absorbency and insulation. Further, the plies can be used in multiple ways such as by nesting the protrusions of one ply into the recessed of another ply, layering multiple plies on top of each other, or individually. Each ply can be substantially flat or have protrusions. The protrusions can be made in various ways such as alternating the directions that they extend and varying the shapes of the protrusions. The resulting packaging material can be used as a shipping container or as liners within shipping containers.
