What is packing paper?

Protective paper grades supplied as rolls or sheets for wrapping individual items, layering between products and filling voids. It’s clean, quick and recyclable—ideal for eCommerce, retail, fulfillment and house moves.

When to choose paper

Pick packing paper when you need abrasion protection, neat presentation and lightweight void fill. For impact-heavy applications, combine with large bubble wrap or small bubble wrap.

Packing tips

Wrap surfaces first: one snug layer prevents scuffs; add corner padding for brittle items.

Crumple for void fill: create springy cushions to stop movement; shake-test before sealing.

Layer logically: heavy items at the bottom, lighter on top; separate with cardboard sheets.
