Ok, we've done the Packing Peanuts and the Bubblewrap
Now,
Tissue Paper
Is there anywhere to buy decent white tissue paper without having to go to the newsagency and buy it in packs of 5 for $5?
I've tried the cheaper stuff, and it is worse than home brand toilet paper soooo
what do the peeps here do for bulk tissue paper?
Nice good quality stuff that doesn't rip if it gets a bit of pressure applied, and is kind of soft and pliable like the stuff in the hallmark packages.
you know, the Sorbent of tissue papers?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Little sealed packs would be practical and cute 🙂
Digi...agree with you on not all sweets are nice. Sticking to the popular stuff is a plus 🙂 rather than mystery errr edibles.

Shhh. Tis all about Crikey and the quest for perfect white tissue (no peanuts, no shreddings and no gummi nuffin)
The evening crowd scares me a little - I better go pack some parcels (sans gummi things)

i don't do giftwrap.
But I always do weather wrap. i suppose it depends on the customer base. I like to think my customers appreciate getting their items without water damage. They seem to agree.
Some even appreciate my packaging, even when no tissue.

It is certainly a bonus, I agree too - I generally use satchels though, but with letters/large letters, I do as you taught me - glad wrapit - but then I don't usually gift wrap stuff that goes as letters - doesn't fit LOL

I bet they don't when you use packaging peanuts!

always find it strange that people use newspaper for chinaware when packaging for a house move. Far better to avoid the problem & just pack in white tissue.
I use the white butchers paper (same strength as newspaper probably) bought from stores that sell packaging materials.
I think bigger breakables like dinner sets need something more solid than tissue paper.
Professional packers use the butchers paper for breakables.

OK, I give up, what is wrong with packing peanuts? Some of them are made of puffed wheat, so you could put some milk on them and have them for breakfast! 😄
I'd much rather peanuts than the super el cheapo styrene that the Chinese use when packing delicate items. The last few shipments of mineral specimens saw me having to remove them from inside a garbage bag. Other wise it's like busting a bean bag open! 3 things the Chinese are obcessed with......very poor quality ploystyrene, toilet paper and sticky tape. Oh boy do they love the toilet paper and tape!!!

They are like Brussel Sprouts - LITTLE EVIL BALLS OF DOOM
