U-Haul Newsprint Packing Paper For Moving and Shipping - 500 sheets - 25 lbs. - 24” x 30” Sheets

I use it for the bottom of my bird cages. Size is consistent and it absorbs well. Delivery is fast and paper is well packaged.

We purchased one pack of this 25 pounds of U-Haul packing paper because we moved and needed to protect our fragile items. It came in a box labeled "U-Haul," so it looks to be one of their authentic products. We were surprised at just how many sheets there were, and how large they are. We were able to pack up 1,500 square feet and have a lot left over. The sheets are indeed 30 inches long and 24 inches wide, which is large enough to crumple up and wrap around a standard glass a couple of times, which is perfect. The paper tears very easily and is soft, so I could see other people using it as bulk cage bedding for their animals. For us, we didn't have to worry about it scratching our stuff. Overall, this product performed exactly as we needed it to, and it protected all of our stuff during transportation. It's a great value, as we had plenty left over. We didn't find any flaws while using this U-Haul packing paper, so we highly recommend it. 5/5 stars

I recently had the pleasure of using U-Haul Newsprint Packing Paper for my delicate collectibles during a move, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in every way. As an avid collector, I was extremely concerned about the safety and protection of my valuable items, but this packing paper proved to be the perfect solution. First and foremost, the quality of this packing paper is exceptional. It is thick enough to provide a cushioning effect, ensuring that my delicate collectibles were well-protected throughout the entire moving process. The paper is also incredibly soft, which prevented any scratches or damage to my precious items. One of the standout features of this packing paper is its versatility. It can be easily folded, crumpled, or wrapped around objects of various shapes and sizes. This flexibility allowed me to customize the packing process for each collectible, ensuring a snug fit and maximum protection. Additionally, the newsprint paper is acid-free, which is crucial for preserving the integrity of my items over time. Another aspect that impressed me was the generous quantity provided. The U-Haul Newsprint Packing Paper comes in a large box individually separated and not in one long roll, offering an ample supply to pack multiple collectibles. I never had to worry about running out of paper during the packing process, which made the entire experience stress-free.

Who has newspapers anymore? I think no one. So, I sure did try the washable pads they sell. I have the disposable ones also, and those, forget it, she chewed on them, danger, all that plastic and adhesive tape. I found myself longing for newspapers - Lift, scrunch, throw it out. My pup is 7 months old now, out of the create. She still has accidents, since my sleep is a bit messed up, so I fall asleep early. I don't blame her. With the cloth pads, OMGosh, I started out pre-rinsing them before putting them in washer, so much urine and dirt, so then at that point I was just like, well I might as well just add some soap and finish this off, forget the washer. Ehh, they get heavy, fast drying though. My photo shows, hopefully, how absorbent this paper is. Her accident - I did not even have to use a cup of water, she helped me out - Told ya. I lightly pressed the paper to help it get started, and then I did a huge sigh of relief. Absorbed readily. Also, if you want to shred it, it shreds great! That's it shredded in the photo, for what that is worth. Three days I have used 5 sheets out of the 500, and 2 sheets are still down by the door. They are dirty, so when she is coming in with wet feet, her little trot across those 2 sheets, they're trapping her moisture that quick. It scrunches up nicely, soft enough that it does that gracefully, for packing paper. Super clean.

I've always used newsprint when moving to wrap everything from fragile items to books; you can't use a better medium for protecting your items, and it's recyclable as well (fun fact: it's also great for cleaning windows with vinegar and water after your move). When searching for another batch, it was an eye-opener to see the range of prices, and it was a pleasant surprise to find it was cheaper on Amazon than anywhere else. A single sheet is not terribly strong (it's newsprint!) but using two or three sheets greatly increases its sturdiness.

Never a disappointment with this packing paper. Great price on Amazon and easy to order and have delivered rather than having to go to my U-Haul store and carry a heavy package into the house.

This newsprint packing paper is a bit thinner and smaller in size than the paper I bought for my last move, about five years ago. However, I bought that paper directly from a paper company located not far from where I was moving. Delivery of the U-Haul paper was faster than expected, likely because it was shipped from a U-Haul distribution location not more than 30 miles away. I would buy and use this packing paper again, which in fact I did because the first bundle of approximately 500 sheets wasn't enough the get the job done.

Excellent quality for packing; thick enough that it didn't tear as it was being used to wrap household items for moving.
