More Information

News Offcuts (or clean newsprint sheets) are unprinted, virgin-grade newspaper offcuts that provide a completely clean, non-staining, and economical solution for protective wrapping and packing. Entirely free from ink, these soft, highly pliable sheets are the gold standard for the removals and glass industries. They drape and wrap effortlessly around delicate glassware, ceramics, porcelain, and kitchenware, providing excellent scratch protection and light cushioning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What industries use news offcuts most frequently in the UK?
They are heavily utilised by professional house removal companies, ceramic manufacturers, antique dealers, and online retailers shipping delicate homeware or glassware.

Can news offcuts be used as an affordable void fill?
Yes. When scrunched up, newsprint sheets form excellent soft cushions that fill tight spaces inside small e-commerce boxes, preventing items from rattling.

Why should my removals business use news offcuts instead of old printed newspapers?
Old printed newspapers transfer black ink onto hands, pottery, and clothing, requiring time-consuming cleaning by the end customer. News offcuts are completely unprinted and clean, guaranteeing a spotless delivery.

Are news offcuts absorbent enough to protect items from moisture?
Yes, newsprint paper is highly absorbent, making it effective at catching minor spills, dampness, or preventing atmospheric condensation during storage.

What are the standard sheet sizes available for news offcuts?
We stock all common commercial sizes, with 500 x 750mm being the industry standard for wrapping plates, bowls, and fragile collectibles.

Is newsprint paper safe for wrapping silver or delicate metal antiques?
For long-term archival storage of precious silver, we recommend acid-free tissue paper. However, for short-term transit and removals, clean news offcuts are safe and effective.

Are news offcuts fully biodegradable?
Yes, they are made from natural mechanical wood pulp, meaning they degrade rapidly and safely, and can be thrown into any household recycling bin.

Can they be used for wrapping greasy or oily engineering parts?
While they will absorb oil, they do not prevent rust. For metal machinery components, our specialised VCI anti-rust paper is highly recommended.
