Keep an eye out in your local paper, I found a few jobs through there that I could do from home. They dont come up very often though as most of the people that do it are like us and dont quit! I spent 2 yrs folding tissue paper and cellophane for a marketing company, they deal with the major paper mills in Melbourne. The pay didnt sound like much at all, but i would usually average between $150-300 a week, I mainly did the folding at night, so you do need a lot of room. My boss had a heart attack and closed the business, so I havent been doing it for a while, but i am sure that they are still doing it, as all of the stuff that i used to pack is sold in a lot of retail outlets still. Maybe ring some of the paper mills and see if they can give you an idea of what companies they use. My boss used to deliver my work and would pick it up a week later, so it had to be finished, then he would drop off the next load at the same time. I think the pay was like 1 cent per sheet of cellophane, and 1 cent for 5 sheets of tissue, but i managed to get through it very quickly.
