How Do You Save Money On Packing Material?
With the price of postage climbing again, you might be looking to save money on your shipping needs. One way to do this is by saving money on your packing materials. These steps will show you how. When you receive a package, save any packing materials you can, no matter how tempting it is to pop the bubble wrap. Ask your favorite stores if they have any packing materials they can spare. Many retailers recycle or throw theirs away. Sick of junk mail? Use it as filler instead. Run it through a paper shredder or just wad it up, then stuff your boxes with the paper. Air-popped popcorn is super cheap and great as packing material. It is especially great for those care packages to your starving college student, as he or she can even munch on the packing. Use the appropriate sized box or envelope. If you pack a very small item in a very large box, you will require more packing material than necessary.
