If you need good packing material when boxing up things for storage, moving or shipping, try this.
Call an area newspaper and ask if they have "end rolls" available. This is leftover of newsprint paper, still on the roller tube, that went unused so there is no print. Ours are as wide as the newspaper page and vary in length - usually many, many yards. Just take a butcher knife and slice off a sheets and get packing. The paper is more flexible than bubble wrap, cushions better than flimsy tissue paper, and you'll be recycling. (PS, at my newspaper, they're free.)
