Does anyone know where I can find bubble wrap, boxes, and other packing materials?

We recently used Uline online. They delivered from Monterey to Zihuatanejo. They come in lots of 10, 15, 20,25 depending on size. Strong double wall boxes and all the packing materials. Some advice; cheap cardboard will not survive any length of time with the humidity.

Across the street from the back corner of the mercado is a papeleria on the corner that has it all. We found their prices to be better than what we could get in the US for bubble wrap. It is on the corner behind Santander.
A number of the papelerias have what you are looking for.
IF POSSIBLE, try to get the packing peanuts that are made of cornstarch and are totally biodegradable. They should be available here.
Styrofoam peanuts are one of the worst for the environment.

Oh, yes I believe they ARE! There's a store that sells recyclable biodegradable materials like cellulose bags and disposable products for restaurants, I think including packing materials, on Paseo del Palmar about mid-block between Plaza Kioto and the DHL store on the right-hand side if you're coming from Plaza Kioto.

It's called Placeo. They have a full line of environmentally correct stuff.

Many papelerías here offer what you seek. López Impresores or down by the Mercado Municipal.

Thank you so much for the specific store name. I have been to three papelerias and Bodega so far without success. None had bubble wrap. None had any other packing supplies. I will try López Impresores next.
Another option would be FedEx or DHL.
What quantity of bubble wrap are you wanting and kind of bubble, the large size bubble that people like to sit and pass the time popping the bubbles?

About 60 feet of 12”. Any size bubble is fine. I need to wrap some fragile items and paintings that will go into storage for about a year.
WHOAAA, I can't even come close to that amount. I might have 15-20 feet of accumulated bubble/foam, but...you need more help.
