Any ideas for Packing a Newspaper?

[amethyst]

I need to Pack and Post a Newspaper, but cannot think what might be availabe to use (inexpensive), that would keep the Newspaper safe from being torn or damaged.  Any ideas welcomed?

Thanks,

sandwich it between 2 pieces of hard cardboard

or get a postage tube and use that

tubes a good idea

if you know friends that work in a factory the tubes inside rolls of brown paper are best

they look like large toilet rolls

Hello towery, the Postage Tube - PERFECT!  (Mind went blank, could not think of anything).

Thanks,

Hi right-then-petal, that suggestion is a clever idea  🙂

Wrap well in cling film before putting in the tube, then if we get wet weather and water gets in the tube you won't have a soggy mass

A bubble lined padded envelope would be waterproof and prevent it from being torn wouldn't it?

Very grateful for these responses, ideas and tips too!

Thank you,

i would not trust a bubble enevelope

unless you plan on using board inside too

the OP didnt state the age or price of the newspaper,  i sent ones from the 1960s in poly bags and cardboard, then wrapped in brown paper, all over the world not just the uk
