Review on πŸ“¦ 25 lbs. of Newsprint/Packing Paper (approx. 24x36) by Summer Hendricks

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Pooh! Heavy coated paper, hands off! Do not buy as packaging material!

I have read reviews that say heavyweight coated paper is not very suitable for packaging and in my worn condition from our move I have ordered this bag anyway. Mistake! I'm one of those who received smooth surface paper. We used it anyway, but not for fragile items. It folds and crumples too tight to be used for anything other than to fill extra space or fold for a little padding at the bottom and top of boxes. It also curls and creases with sharp edges: be careful not to cut yourself with it, especially if your hands are dry from the packaging. Booooo! Terrible packaging product! I also assume it can't be recycled or composted because of that horrible coating that makes it oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo What a stupid mistake to buy that! Do not do that!

Pros
  • Some of the sheets are smooth and make great placeholders between certain objects
Cons
  • I will add later
