review of YRYM HT butcher wrapping paper

I use butcher wrapping paper for a multitude of reasons. I use kraft paper to:

++ Pad boxes and its contents that I am shipping
++ Wrap items I am shipping prior to placement in shipment boxes
++ Wrap shipping boxes, gifts and other items in Kraft paper
++ Greatest use is unrolling across the garage floor then letting my children let lose their inner artists with finger paints.

The YRYM HT butcher paper roll is exactly what I thought I was ordering. It is a large roll that was carefully packaged upon shipment. The weight is good quality and is not about to fall apart anytime soon. The item is much cheaper than my local area even with having to be shipped across the country.

My parents used the YRYM HT brown butcher wrapping paper to wrap the gifts from Santa. The gifts from mom and dad were always wrapped in traditional wrapping paper but Santa's gifts, straight from the toy factory, were wrapped in this stuff. They would tie a bow around it, usually green or red and then write in red marker the name of the recipient and "from Santa" in fancy writing. It always felt very special to open gifts wrapped in this paper. This was a LOT bigger than I was expecting. More paper and better quality. I priced a much smaller roll at a local craft store and it was double the price for 1/2 the amount of paper. This was a good deal that arrived quickly. This paper will probably last me forever... but can be used for so many things. I highly recommend this if you are looking for an all-purpose paper for packing, wrapping paper, drop cloth, or kids. good quality too! and with the free supersaver shipping- it is hard to find something similar at a comparable price.

Smooth, sturdy, thick enough, decent price for amount of paper. Nothing exciting about wrapping paper so not much to say about it. It did the job. I ordered this paper for the kitties at Friends of Felines Rescue Center. They just love to play on this paper after the center closes its doors for the night. It is a no cage facility so the kitties can just play to their hearts content. How do I know that? They have a kitty cam on 24/7 for us to watch. What a hoot! Amazon also donates a percentage of any order to the rescue center when ordered through the link on the center's webpage. 

I have to say I was a little reluctant to purchase such a large roll for my business needs but the weight of the paper sounded good and I took the leap. I figured the worst that could happen would be I'd be stuck with enough craft paper for the kids to last a lifetime. The weight of the paper is strong enough I'm able to use this to create my own shipping envelopes. I also use it wrap the product I'm shipping for double protection. In that way- it saves me a ton from having to purchase $1.49 bubble mailers or packs of envelopes from office supply. It's doubly handy in making a nice wrapping paper that you can decorate. It's inexpensive for the amount you get plus the weight- I've already used to to make pirate sails for a birthday party, wrapping paper, shipping envelopes, and quick signs. Will be purchasing again.... if I ever run out!
