Would it be ok if I mailed a book in a paper grocery bag?

It might sound wierd, but I want to re-use them. I also wrap the books in a plastic grocery bag.

Sure you can wrap a book in a brown grocery bag. Just be sure to use lots of strapping tape.

Nothing weird about it.  I've gotten lots of books wrapped in grocery bags.  Just be sure to wrap it up tightly so the book won't slid around in the packaging and use lots of tape, especially at the corners.

Thanks.

And I make sure to use lots of tape.

I usually use too much XD

Better safe than sorry!

I think that would be sturdier then printer paper.  I used my daughters thick finger painting paper. I have 2 giant rolls and she's kind of outgrown finger painting.

I mail in paper grocery bags all the time.  They're my favorite wrapping -- sturdy, easy to deal with and free, plus I'm recycling.  Can't beat it!

Love your Moo Cow!

I love using my brown paper bags. :)

I use paper grocery bags for wrapping material almost all the time. I think it makes a really nice wrapper. :)

I wrap 99% of my books in paper grocery bags, and I've never had a problem or complaint.

Yup, I have to join the majority here.  I use brown paper grocery bags most of the time.  For all the reasons everyone said.  I get at least two shipments from each bag. 

That tends to be how I send out my BoB swaps.  First some plastic grocery bags or bubble wrap, then a layer of brown grocery bags.  Works like a charm and good for the budget.  :)

Phooey on spending a bunch of money
