Why Use Newsprint?
Invented in 1844, newsprint paper is an economical paper designed to run through printing presses as a 'web' rather than individual sheets. It is also useful as a packaging material and is used both to wrap and to cushion delicate items prior to packing.

WHAT IS NEWSPRINT PAPER?
Newsprint packing paper takes its name from its usage in the newspaper printing industry; it is also used in the advertising industry for economical print promotions. Anyone who has ever handled a newspaper or local advertising pages will recognize the distinctive look and feel of the stock.
Newsprint paper is usually supplied in a plain, off-white color and does not contain any ink. It is often bought in bulk as an economical source of paper for sketching and painting as well as for wrapping and packaging purposes.
WHY USE NEWSPRINT PAPER FOR PACKING?
People have reused old newspapers as extra packaging for decades. It is light but also strong. It can be used to fill up spaces in moving cartons and it is economical. The one major disadvantage to using newspapers as a wrapping paper is the presence of ink. This can cause permanent staining to the items wrapped.
Since New Haven newsprint paper is unprinted, it is perfectly acceptable – and recommended – to use it to wrap your fragile items such as dishes, glasses, bowls, plates and collectables. By wrapping valuables in newsprint paper before wrapping them with bubble roll, you add an extra layer of protection.
Newsprint packing paper can also be used to help cushion items within moving cartons. If you gently shake a moving box, the contents should not move or make a sound. If they do, this can often be resolved by crumpling newsprint paper and stuffing this in the empty spaces.
Newsprint packaging paper is also kind to the environment. Since its structure is mostly wood pulp, it biodegrades quickly. It is also universally accepted for recycling which makes waste disposal easier and less expensive. It can even be reused in schools or households for art projects.
