What are newspaper offcuts?
Offcuts are the trimmed edges left over from newsprint production. The paper is the same thick, absorbent stock a newspaper is printed on, but it never reaches the press, so it is solid white rather than covered in newsprint.
That is the difference between these and old newspaper. Printed newspaper rubs ink onto china, glass and painted surfaces. Newspaper offcuts do not, which is why they are used on clean and delicate surfaces where newsprint would leave marks.

Protecting fragile items
The sheets are thick and absorbent, so they take impact and shock rather than passing it to the item. Crumple a sheet and it holds its shape in the box, which fills voids without the item moving.
What they suit:
- Glassware, plates, vases and lamps
- Picture frames, ornaments and ceramics
- Watches, jewellery and small items that scratch
- Interleaving and separating stacked products
- Polished, painted and plated surfaces that mark easily
The paper wraps to the shape of the item and stays put when crumpled, so most items need no packaging tape at all. For heavier or more valuable pieces, wrap in paper first and then add a cushioning layer such as bubble wrap in rolls or foam.
Food use
The grade can be used for food, and these sheets are used in takeaways and restaurants. The paper is unprinted and carries no newsprint ink, which is what makes it suitable for these food-related uses.
Typical food trade uses are wrapping, lining trays and baskets, and separating items in a display. If you are using them in a food business, check the sheets against your own food safety requirements and keep them stored clean and dry.
Buying newspaper offcuts in bulk
Sheets are sold by the 10kg pack, with pricing tiered across 1 to 4 packs, 5 to 20 packs, and 21 or more packs. Pallet pricing is available above that.
Paper is bulky but stores well as long as it is kept flat, dry and off the floor. For a removals firm, a busy dispatch bench or a food outlet getting through paper weekly, ordering in larger quantities may offer better value. Current prices and tier thresholds are shown on the product listing.
Frequently asked questions
What are newspaper offcuts used for?
Wrapping and protecting fragile items in transit and storage, interleaving products, filling voids in cardboard boxes, and wrapping in food outlets.
Is this paper printed?
No. It is unprinted newsprint, solid white, so no ink can transfer onto what you wrap.
What size are the sheets?

How many sheets are in a pack?

Is packing paper better than bubble wrap?
They do different jobs. Paper wraps surfaces and prevents scratches, and crumples to fill voids. Bubble wrap cushions against impact. For valuable or very fragile items, paper next to the surface with bubble wrap over it is the usual combination.
