Scotch Postal Wrapping Paper, 30 in x 30 ft., 60# , 1 Roll/Pack

I used this wrapping paper as a backdrop for a bubbly bar at a baby shower (there was both sparkling wine and water available). This wrapping paper served as our gift wrapping paper for the crib (a very large box) and as the backdrop. It was very sturdy material. I was able to stick faux roses through the paper and hang a banner from it. Will definitely consider using kraft paper again as a backdrop as it can be used for a multitude of things and it’s a lot better for the environment! The only thing I may do differently next time is get a wider roll.

My Mom insists that any packages we wrap for delivery be wrapped with Scotch Pacaging Paper. It does seem to work no matter what I am sending. I have mailed potato chips, and I don't kinow this firsthand, but I was told that the potato chips arrived fine. (I would think they'd be all broken, but when you're away from Pennsylvania and get chips made by companies here, I guess as long as they are not crumbs and can be picked up with your hands, they're okay. :)

I'm all for re-using wrapping paper year round so I like buying plainer paper that works for all occasions. As other reviews have mentioned, this wrapping paper is Heavy Duty, capital H/D. It doesn't crease easily like that Dollar Store crap and it has a nice thick texture to it. I purchased something similar from Michael's the year before and it was nowhere near as lusciously thick (and also nowhere near as cheap!). This cuts well - and by cut, I mean I can be lazy and scissor shear across the entire length without worry about it snagging/ripping.That being said, regular scotch tape won't cut it...that well. Either get a slightly more robust version or be prepared to tape, tape, tape. I used baker's twine wrapped 4-ways around each present and that mitigated some of the hardcore taping needs.

I was pricing wrapping paper this year, and I just couldn't get over how ridiculously expensive something is that is going to be torn up and thrown in the garbage--even if I got it at the dollar store! I found this roll of plain paper and it worked great. I have a lot of blankets I made for people, and I put them in boxes and wrapped them in this paper. It's thick enough to be quite rugged--great for those of us who have to drive home for Christmas with gifts in the trunk. I bought some white curling ribbon and I had on hand some fancy vintage looking gift tags, so this is actually right on trend with what you see in magazines with all the old-fashioned gift wrapping trends. I doubt anyone will realize I was just being frugal. That's the best way to save money!

This is a very good wrapping paper for your postal needs. When I read several reviews, I went with the one that said that the quality and thickness of the paper was like that of a good heavy duty supermarket bag. Well, not quite like the bags in the stores from which I purchase my foods. I don't know where that reviewer shops but this is not as thick as a bag from a store such as that from a couple of large chain stores at which I shop. That said, it is heavier than a piece of plain printer paper, but not that of the weight of card stock, but it worked well for my purposes. I had to send out a manuscript to a publisher, and the paper was certainly sturdy enough to hold the 648 pages that I needed to post. I would still give this is a rating of about 4 1/2 stars rather than a plain 4.

We had moved to a new house and had all of our pictures to hang up. I took every picture, and traced out the exact size and wrote what picture it was on the paper. When it came time to hang pictures, I could hang up the brown cut out, and decide which pictures looked best and the design that I wanted to use them in. In less than two hours, we had all of the pictures hung at the proper height and setting,,,this paper also works great for wrapping paper.I now give this roll, a roll of blue Scotch Painters tape, and a few Sharpies to new neighbors or family members that purchased a new home,,,add a bottle of wine or a nice basket of fruit, and it makes a great house warming gift that really has a great use!

I use this to wrap packages that I am shipping. I am usually cheap and just recycle brown paper bags as wrapping but that got old piecing together bags. This paper is stronger and easier to write on. We keep a roll on hand at all times. I did see the same roll at a local store for much cheaper but it was only for 15 ft so check the dimensions if you are comparison shopping. It is thick enough that you do not need to double wrap. I single layer of paper is strong enough to protect your packages. It is also not so stiff that it is hard to crease and manage while trying to wrap a package.

I selected this paper to wrap Christmas gifts with a 'homespun' feel to them. Along with bright green rafia and Christmas-themed rubber stamp images, the paper helped create the look I wanted. I ordered two rolls and had enough for 27 homemade cookbooks (three ring binders). The paper is super strong, as one reviewer commented, much like the quality of paper grocery bags. I did use heavier packing tape to secure the wrapping, not sure that every day tape would have held the paper in place. I found the paper provided an inexpensive and unique wrapping for my presents; this paper is easily recyclable as well. I would definitely purchase again. And of course if you're just looking for plain brown mailing paper for shipping, here you go!
