Blister something - I think...
EDIT - Noppenfolie, Luftpolsterfolie are the two words my German collegues threw out.

Just go to the post office- they have rolls of it already packaged up by the envelopes and office supplies.

It's expensive at Post Offices.
Baywa have it on rolls at around €6.
It is also available in that Munich stationery shop, the one which I have forgotten the name of, just behind
Kaufhof (off
Marienplatz). The last time I asked there, they called luftpolster-something or other and they sell it by the metre from a large roll.

How much do you need? - if you only need a couple of sheets I've got here - all you have to do is pick it up.

Okay, managed to get some by trying a mixture of those words and gesturing wildly:)
Thanks everyone.

Just to confirm that, as already mentioned above, the proper term for bubble wrap in German is Luftpolsterfolie.
At Kaut Bullinger on Munich's Rosenstrasse it currently costs €1.55/metre (120 cm wide).

At the
Deutsche Post it costs €3.29 for a roll which is 5m by 40cm. aka Luftpolster-Verpackungsfolie as it says on my receipt
