    What should I wrap the area rugs in while delivering them back? Where should I buy from?

    Tyvek or brown kraft paper if they are going to be stored. Tyvek will cost you more, but you can pass the cost along to the customer.

    Don't use plastic unless it is for deliver only and will be unwrapped when you get to the consumer's house. Keeping natural fibers such as wool and cotton in plastic can lead to condensation, mold, etc.

    Thanks Scott, do you have a recommendation of where to buy it from? Does Interlink carry it?

    Rug wrapping paper is not an Interlink product at this time. Maybe next year. However, some Interlink distributors may carry it. They are independent and can stock whatever they think will serve their clients.

    Here is a place in your general area that has the kraft warappin paper.

    Kraft paper you can get at Grainger - we get our Tyvek paper from Material Concepts - if you call them, ask for Doug and mention my name he'll give you a great deal.
