Crispette wrapping paper is eleven inches long by twelve inches wide. The best paper we know of for this purpose is a forty pound manila wax paper, seventy sheets to the pound. Have it printed at the mill before it is waxed, otherwise the printing will fade, or rub off. A good method is to use a large type label to put inside to show through the plain waxed paper.
Bricks are wrapped in wax paper, size 9 × 12 inches wide, and then a blue paper band with your name upon it is put around to hold the wax paper in place. The wax paper weighs one hundred and twenty-eight sheets to the pound.
Bars are wrapped in wax paper measuring 7 × 16 inches. One hundred and ninety sheets to the pound.
Layer paper, to be put into the boxes between unwrapped pop-corn, may be had. Grade forty pound manila comes in sheets 24 × 36 inches, or cut to the size you want. Twelve sheets 24 × 36 inches weigh one pound. Write E. R. Knott Machine Co. for a list of Wax Paper Makers.
Boxes.
The size of your box must be determined by what you want to put in it.
Penny goods are packed 50, 72, 100, 144, etc., in a box; five-cent package goods 20, 24, 50, 100 in a box.
Buy your boxes of some local supply.
If that is not possible, buy your boxes flat from the nearest convenient maker and use a Corner Box Stitcher to put them together.
Boxes take up less storage space. You make them up as you need them. Boxes are stronger. Other pop-corn manufacturers find this the best way, so you should investigate the method.
