Kraft or Honeycomb Packing Filler

Appreciate advice on the best option to fill the box space when sending items ? I use bubble wrap to protect the item, but to fill the cushioning gap, I'm torn between using the flat-then-scrunched Kraft-type paper you get in Amazon boxes or the Honeycomb version. Both lightweight I know...but do members favour one over the other ? Thanks.

I tend to use whatever I've got and for smaller items I find scrunched up newspaper works well. I have a few of my neighbours save their newspapers for me as we don't buy one ourselves.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

I tend to use whatever I have obtained free from parcels received. If weight is not a problem, I use scrunched up newspapers but they do add weight to the parcel. Living in London, I get free Metro everyday.
If weight is a problem I use those foam pnuts usually got from Olio - they are light and do not add much weight to the parcel.1
