The private key is all you need to spend your funds. So you can just print that (not the one you just shared obviously, you must create another one) and hide it somewhere safe.

Not sure what have you used to generate that private key, but I'd personally recommend using Bitaddress to generate your private key (with its associated address) and encrypt it with a password (BIP38). Give this topic a read: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5310734.msg56136799#msg56136799

It is as simple as printing it on a piece of paper. Take a look the Wallet Details tab of bitaddress.org. You can enter the private key and print the results. Be sure to do it offline. Also, you will want to remove the address/private key pair that doesn't match your private key, so you don't accidentally use the wrong address.

I recommend you save/print a seed instead of private key. A list of English words is easier to write down than a "random" list of characters.

Also I recommend you do some reading in 2 recent threads: PAPER WALLET and Please critique my paper-wallet creation steps, since they also cover the topic of creating this safely, since a paper wallet is basically losing its purpose if it's not created safely.
