A roll of kraft packing paper is the workhorse of any packing job. It is tough enough to take a knock, soft enough to crumple into cushioning, and quick to use because you pull only the length you need. Crumpled sheets fill the empty space in a carton so the contents cannot slide about, and flat sheets separate items that would otherwise rub together. It is also fully recyclable, which makes it an easy swap for bubble film on most household goods.

Common uses

• Wrapping kitchenware, books, tools and small appliances
• Crumpled void fill inside cartons
• Interleaving between stacked plates and glass
• Covering furniture tops and drawer fronts
• Lining boxes and crates before loading
