Order Your Paper Before Prices Climb

Paper industry watchers warn that more paper price hikes are likely, especially with the rising fuel and energy costs. Even though some paper mills have dropped their fuel and energy surcharges, if gas and energy prices continue to rise, the mills could certainly announce another increase. And compounding the problem is the ever-reducing paper supply.

JustShippingSupplies offers the best wrapping, shipping, and packaging paper from Kraft and Staples for the best price to suit you and your business. Check out our Staples Postal Wrap and Pacon Kraft Wrapping paper - as well as dispensers - for the best value on the internet.

Just Ship It

With Christmas and Chanukah in the rear view mirror, Just Shipping Supplies would like to remind you that there are still plenty of gift-giving occasions. Check it out:
January 20 – Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar. Since the Islamic calendar is lunar, Muharram moves from year to year when compared with the Gregorian calendar. The first day of Muharram is the start of the Islamic new year. Be sure to send your Muslim friend(s) a special little something to help them kick off the new year. If they don’t like it or are offended by it, don’t worry - fighting in the month of Muharram is looked down upon.

February 2 - Groundhog Day, the most predictable day of the year and one of the greatest films ever made. I’ve never met anyone who didn’t love that movie.

February 14 – Valentine ’s Day, a day to be loved and show love. Be sure to send a special something to mom, dad, spouse, lover, both, whatever. Stuck on gift ideas for a loved one? A little weary about shipping a box of chocolate? Since Valentine ’s Day commemorates 2 Christian martyrs named Valentine, why not share in the Christian tradition of charity and love by sending the loved ones in your life about a good book, DVD, or CD? As for the kids, a video game might do the trick.

February 18 - Chinese New Year, another reminder that Chinese people are so smart that they count not winth numbers, but with animals. “2007” - lame. “Year of the Pig” - much cooler.

Biodegradable Packing Peanuts

Nikos — Tue, 14 Nov 2006 21:34:19 +0000

Packing peanuts are a void-fill packaging product made typically of expanded polystyrene. Consisting of over 99.6% air, they consist of small pieces of sturdy protective packaging that is used to fill in the empty space between merchandise and exterior cartons to ensure that what you’re shipping (or receiving) will not rattle or suffer damage in transit. Easy, durable, and effective! JustShippingSuplies now offers you biodegradable packing peanuts from Staples. Economical and environmentally friendly, these peanuts are static-free and made from corn starch, allowing them to easily dissolve in water. Safety is a top concern when shipping merchandise or belongings, and nothing is easier that packing peanuts; just pour the peanuts into the unoccupied space(s) in the box to be shipped, seal the box, and ship.
