Custom Retail Paper — Branded Tissue, Gift Wrap & Packaging Paper for Retail Brands
Custom retail paper covers the printed paper a store or online brand uses to wrap products, fill boxes, and hand orders to customers. It includes tissue paper, gift wrap, kraft wrapping paper, paper carrier bags, and garment tissue. Custom Printed Papers prints each one with your logo, supplies it on a low minimum order quantity, and ships it free across the United States.
Custom retail paper is branded packaging paper — tissue, gift wrap, kraft wrapping, carrier bags, and garment tissue — that retail and e-commerce brands use to wrap products, line boxes, and present orders with their own logo.
Tissue runs 17 to 22 gsm, gift wrap 60 to 90 gsm, and kraft wrapping 40 to 70 gsm. Printing uses water-based or soy inks in CMYK or PMS Pantone, on FSC-certified and recycled stock.

What Is Custom Retail Paper?
Custom retail paper is printed paper used to package and present retail purchases, including tissue paper, gift wrap, kraft wrapping, carrier bags, and garment tissue. It differs from food paper, which contacts food directly. Retail paper wraps and presents non-food products: clothing, cosmetics, gifts, candles, and e-commerce orders. The job is protection, presentation, and brand recall at the moment a customer opens the package.
What Types of Retail Paper Are There?
The five main types of retail paper are tissue paper, gift wrap, kraft wrapping paper, paper carrier bags, and garment tissue. Each handles a different stage of packaging, from wrapping the product to carrying it home. The table below maps each type to its weight and use.
| Type | Weight | Used For |
|---|---|---|
| Tissue paper | 17–22 gsm | Wrapping products, lining boxes, void fill |
| Gift wrap | 60–90 gsm | Wrapping gifts in rolls or sheets |
| Kraft wrapping | 40–70 gsm | Product wrap, void fill, shipping |
| Carrier bags | 90–150 gsm | Handing purchases to customers |
| Garment tissue | 17 gsm, acid-free | Protecting clothing and fabric |

Why Does Branded Packaging Paper Matter for Retail?
Branded packaging paper matters because the unboxing is the last brand touchpoint a customer has, and a printed tissue or bag turns that moment into recognition and repeat business. A plain brown box ends the sale. A box lined with logo tissue continues it. The paper a customer carries out of a store advertises the brand to everyone who sees it. This is low-cost marketing that travels with the product.
What Paper Is Used for Retail Packaging?
Retail packaging uses lightweight MG tissue for wrapping, heavier coated stock for gift wrap, and kraft for product wrap and void fill. Garment packaging uses acid-free tissue to protect fabric. Carrier bags use kraft from 90 to 150 gsm for strength under weight. The choice depends on the product, the weight it must hold, and whether the paper shows or ships.
Retail Paper vs Food Paper
They serve different products. Retail paper wraps and presents non-food goods: clothing, gifts, cosmetics, and e-commerce orders. Food paper contacts food and meets food-safety standards for grease and direct contact. For food-service wraps and liners, see custom food paper. For product packaging and the unboxing, use the retail paper ranges above.
Printing and Branding on Retail Paper
Custom Printed Papers prints retail paper with water-based and soy inks in CMYK or exact PMS Pantone. Tissue prints by flexographic press, which sets a higher minimum than digital, so tissue orders run in reams. Gift wrap and bags print by litho and flexo. Add a logo, a repeating pattern, or a seasonal design, and confirm the result on a free proof before production.
