How to Bag Sunday Papers

Sunday newspapers are highly anticipated.

Newspaper delivery carriers travel by foot, bicycle or car on a daily basis to please their customers and to hopefully earn a decent tip by keeping them happy throughout the year. Sunday is the busiest day for newspaper delivery -- the Sunday paper has more content, special sections and can be purchased separately. The Sunday newspaper is coveted by many customers because it contains more feature articles than a typical weekday paper and includes a coupon insert. By properly bagging the Sunday newspaper, you can contain the additional content in a neat presentation, protect the valued coupon inserts and keep your customers satisfied.

Instructions

1. Lay the newspaper flat with the headlines at the top as if you are going to read the front page.

2. Insert the coupon printouts neatly into the center fold of the paper. You should not be able to see the coupons peeking out of newspaper.

3. Fold the newspaper towards you in two places, creating an even tri-fold.

4. Slide the newspaper carefully into the plastic bag and push it to the bottom.

5. Inspect the plastic bag to make sure you did not puncture it. A hole would expose the paper to rain, snow and debris.

6. Tie the bag in a knot to ensure protection from the elements.

Tips & Warnings

• Putting a rubber band around the newspaper will make it more compact and easier to slide into the plastic bag.
