SPECIAL NEWSPRINT/PACKERS NEWS Newsprint is a clean, white, unprinted, lightweight sheet that is primarily used in packaging applications for wrapping, interior cushioning, and interleaving. Newsprint is the paper of choice in both the retail and moving and storage industries for wrapping and packing fragile items. It conforms and protects glass and china better than other paper. It is an economical dunnage material widely used to stuff shipping boxes for catalog retailers and fulfillment houses. Because the sheet is absorbent it is ideal for packing cartons containing bottles of liquids. Other applications for newsprint include interleaving and food wrapping. It is often used between sheets of glass or laminates to prevent scratching. Likewise, it can be used between sheets of plastic to eliminate them sticking together. It is also used for wrapping sandwiches mostly in the northeastern US. Packers News Newsprint utilized in the packaging industry is entirely salvage material. Availability and pricing are controlled strictly by supply and demand. This is why prices for packing newsprint can vary greatly and change quickly. One of the selling points of Packers News is its low cost. News typically comes in basis weights from 25 to 32 pounds. The finish can also vary from mill to mill and lot to lot. We usually sheet up to 14 parent rolls at one time. For Packers News, this range of basis weights and finishes is possible in the same bundle. Likewise, the industry benchmark size of 24â€ X 36â€ is nominal and can vary by a couple of inches in either direction. These loose tolerances allow converters to keep costs down by eliminating waste. While these variables have little influence for stuffing and wrapping, they can cause headaches for other applications. Please advise our sales and customer service staff if your newsprint application is unique and requires special attention. These looser tolerances apply to the packing or “special” newsprint.
