Where to find brown wrapping paper?

You know the thick brown wrapping that framed pictures and such are wrapped in for moving?  Like paper-bag material - but in a roll?  Where can I find/buy that stuff?

 Most of our pictures will probably remain wrapped up after the move into an apartment - why bother putting them up and putting holes in the walls of a temporary place? - so I want to be sure they are protected while they sit in "storage" (aka spare bedroom).

 Thanks!

Re: Where to find brown wrapping paper?

  • Michael's.

    Would Home Depot have it?  Might be worth calling...?

    eta:   I would also check Staples or Office Max.

    And it's called "kraft paper".  

    Good luck!

  • Thanks!  I never thought of Michaels - but it makes perfect sense.   I glanced around Home Depot, but didn't see it and can't think where in the store it might be - but Staples or OfficeMax/Depot would probably be a better bet.  Thanks, Kiz!

  • I've gotten it at Target before!

    This! Or try a UPS store or any moving-supply company. It might be more expensive there, though, but I know I've seen it. 

  • Thanks for all the tips ladies!  I did find it at Target - but the roll looked a little small and would be quickly used up wrapping some bigger things - so I am going to check out the other places too and see if there is a better sized selection.
  • Uline.com - they're not far from the first exit south of where 494 and 35E connect and you can pick things up at the dock to save shipping if your close...  They've got pretty much everything you could imagine needing and the pricing is pretty reasonable..

     Otherwise, Walmart sells it next to the shipping stuff (boxes/tape/etc.) but in a wrapping paper size roll...
