What to use to cover newly installed countertop?
We're using packing paper to cover our newly installed countertops to protect them from damage while home is still under construction. No one seems to likes it... It tears, water makes it soggy and it is not wide enough to cover the entire top. We've tried all sorts of options and can't find anything that actually works. Any suggestions would be appreciated?

Don't cover it, if you do it becomes everybody's workbench and your liability!
Install, take a picture , have the GC sign off on it, call it a day, collect!
And do not accept anything beyond that.
Plumbers, finish carpenters or electricians do not accept any other trade's liability, why should you?
Why should you accept any of the GC's responsibility?
.... DO NOT ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY!!!!!!!!

I totally agree!!!
If you "protect" it, others will then think they can put their tools etc, on it.
Now you didn't protect it properly.

Re: What to use to cover newly installed countertop?
We used to cover our tops till cabinet installer walked on our tops and stepped into the sink, told GC the sink just fell out.
I went over to job site and low and behold there was a boot print scuffed into the stainless and all the pins and clips were bent.
