Moving Packing Materials

Tape: The most common tape used for carton sealing is a plastic tape called “PVC”.

“Newsprint” paper: NEVER USE NEWSPAPERS! as wrapping and cushioning material. Newspaper ink has a tendency to rub off on items it touches and it very difficult to remove it from items such as fine china. The solution to that is using “newsprint” paper as cushioning material.

Bubble wrap: This material is another item used as cushioning material.

Styrofoam peanuts: Packing material used to protect fragile items. This material is lightweight, clean, lint-free and dustless and safe.
