Start collecting them early from your local grocery store, drug store or department store. You can purchase cartons from your mover if you desire. Prices for various sized cartons are fixed by tariffs and movers are not allowed to alter these prices or give you cartons for free. Wrapping Paper You will need plenty of wrapping paper. Many people save and use their old newspapers, but keep in mind that items wrapped in newsprint will most likely be soiled from the ink and will require cleaning after unpacking.
Movers use unprinted newsprint.
For items you prefer to keep clean, you can purchase this packing paper from you mover. Kraft paper, tissue paper and shock-resistant corrugated paper make excellent wrapping materials and may be purchased at most major department stores, craft stores or your mover. These papers also make excellent cushioning and lining material.
