Eco Friendly Packing Paper on Sale!

A product that probably deserves a better name and reputation is what the industry refers to as “gray bogus paper”. That name always bothered me so I scoured the internet and asked a paper industry expert to find out why “bogus” paper is called, bogus paper. The best I could find out is that the name reflects the fact that it is not a true or genuine Kraft packaging paper. It has zero virgin fiber and is made up of an assorted mix of recycled content. Fortunately, in today’s eco conscious world, those are positive product benefits.

Bogus Paper is 100% Recycled Content

Few people know as well as we do that the only thing better than 100% recycled content is 100% post consumer waste, also known as 100% PCW or even 100% PCR. By anyone’s definition, bogus paper is extremely eco friendly and a great alternative for inner packing, interleaving, wrapping or any form of packaging. It’s 100% recycled content makes it flexible and soft and its distinctive gray color tells you no inks or dies were used in an attempt to make it more attractive or appealing to the eye. In other words it is about as natural a recycled paper as you can find.

Bogus Paper is 100% Economical

The most popular weight of gray bogus is 50# and when compared on a weight/yield basis to most 40# Kraft rolls or any 60# indented Kraft rolls, gray bogus paper it is an extremely good value at regular price and much more so for the month of July on GlobeGuardProducts.com. A 24” wide roll with 720’ of paper on the roll is on sale in any quantity for only $23.54 per roll. That is a lot of paper able to fill a lot of boxes and deliver products scratch free and in one piece.
