Any chance of ink transfer onto the piece from the shopper papers if you
used them? I know the one I get here leaves my hands a mess when I thumb
through it.
How about getting roll ends from your local newspaper? Usually cheap, no
ink, readily available (if there is a newspaper or print shop close to you).
That would be cheaper than buying stuff such as in the link below:

I figure on shipping some of my Wiaard banks in the future. So,
I've been researching shipping and packaging materials.
Boxes are reasonably enough priced, but bubble wrap, etc., turn out
pretty high-priced, for my needs. So, more google.
Nothing much useful, but got to thinking more on it. I hadn't
figured on wrapping enough bubble wrap, or whatever, around the bank to
make it a decent fit in the box, had figured just enough to protect the
finish, keep it from getting scratched up, with the space probably
filled with balled up newspaper, air-popped popcorn. whatever (I hate
those damn styrofoam peanuts). Then I thought Saran Wrap. Cheap,
available (any grocery store), fairly easy to put on. All I need is to
keep the filler away from the finish. Sounds good.
I figured shipping materials for one bank would run something like
$2, which I don't consider unreasonable. Then got to thinking again.
Hehehe I was (foolishly) thinking of buying a newspaper, to ball up as
filler. Then thought of free "shopper" papers. I often get one anyway.
Probably enough pages for one bank. Heh heh. Another expense saved.
Maybe closer to $1.50 a bank.
I would like to hear from anyone has used Saran Wrap in shipping
some of the things they've made.
I think I've got it covered, but need to know, am I missing any
down-sides on using Saran Wrap?
