Things to Avoid
Old newspaper contains ink that never completely dries & will come off and stain the things you're wrapping, possibly permanently. Previously used cardboard boxes, like those available from some local markets, sometimes have stains and food residues which can ruin your goods and attract insects or rodents if you use them for longer term storage. Check the boxes you use for storage carefully before use.
Supplies That Will Come in Handy
Plastic bags and labels for easy identification.
Foam peanuts, styrofoam pellets or "popcorn."
Tissue or craft paper for delicate packing jobs.

Gummed tape (1 1/2 to 2 inches wide) and tape dispenser.
