Packing paper — everything you need to know
What is newspaper offcut?
Newspaper offcut (also called white packing paper) is clean, unprinted white paper produced as a by-product of the newspaper printing industry. Because it contains no ink, it is completely safe to use on all items — it won’t leave ink transfer marks on your belongings the way real newspaper would. It is the number one packing material used by professional removal companies across the UK, including Vale Removals Cardiff.
