I think crumpled newspaper is best.  Without print is better.

Ziplock baggies prevent items from going loose -- but in case they do, the

Shredded instructions suck for the reason Larry mentions -- little bits of

(...) The order screen is not as good as "previewing" the invoice and then printing that... you get printed all the info the invoice has. The only thing you lack is that the order screen has pictures. But pictures usually don't matter to me as much. (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
