Custom Wrapping Paper

Custom Wrapping Paper — Branded Gift & Retail Wrap in Rolls and Sheets

Custom wrapping paper wraps gifts and retail products on the outside, printed with your logo or pattern. Boutiques, gift shops, and corporate brands use it to turn a purchase into a branded gift. Custom Printed Papers prints it in gloss, matte, metallic, and patterned finishes, supplies it in rolls or sheets, and ships it free across the United States. It is one range within our custom retail paper line.

Custom wrapping paper is decorative paper, printed with your design, used to wrap gifts and retail products on the outside. It runs heavier than tissue, holds a crease, and comes in gloss, matte, metallic, or patterned finishes in rolls and sheets.

Wrapping paper sits around 60 to 90 gsm, heavy enough to fold cleanly and hide the contents. Rolls run up to 30 inches wide, and sheets cut to 20 by 30 inches. Printing covers full-color patterns and logos with no ink coverage limit.

What Is Custom Wrapping Paper?

Custom wrapping paper is decorative printed paper used to wrap a gift or product on the outside, heavier than tissue and able to hold a fold. It runs 60 to 90 gsm, so it folds sharply and hides the contents. Retail and gift brands print it with a repeating pattern or logo, so the wrap itself carries the brand. It is the outer layer a customer sees first.

How Do You Stop Wrapping Paper Showing Through?

Stop wrapping paper showing through by choosing a heavier stock, a busy all-over design, or a colored background, since each hides the shape and color of the contents. Show-through is the most common complaint with thin gift wrap. A 60 to 90 gsm paper blocks most of it. A dense pattern draws the eye to the design instead of the contents, and a colored ground covers the rest. For a gift that must stay a surprise, combine a heavier stock with a busy print.

What Finish Should You Choose for Wrapping Paper?

Choose gloss for bright, sharp color, matte for a soft modern look, metallic for a reflective metallic finish, and patterned for seasonal or themed designs. The finish sets the feel of the gift before it is opened. The table compares the four.

Wrapping Paper Rolls vs Sheets: Which Is Better?

Choose rolls to cut paper to any product size with less waste at a busy station, and sheets for fast, consistent wrapping of standard sizes. Rolls suit a shop wrapping varied items, since staff cut only what each gift needs. Sheets suit a fixed product line, since every wrap uses the same size. Many shops keep rolls at the counter and sheets for standard orders.

Rotogravure vs Digital: Which Printing for Wrapping Paper?

Choose rotogravure printing for large volumes and repeat runs, and digital printing for small runs and on-demand orders. Rotogravure engraves a metal cylinder for each color, which carries a setup cost but prints long runs cheaply, and the cylinder is stored for reuse. Digital prints straight from the file with no cylinder, so it suits short runs, seasonal designs, and quick reorders.

Where Should Your Logo Go on Wrapping Paper?

Place your branding three ways: an all-over repeating logo, a single logo in the corner, or a color bar along one edge. An all-over repeat shows the brand on every part of the wrap. A corner logo keeps a clean design with one clear mark. A color bar along the short edge adds the brand without covering the pattern. We set the placement on a proof before printing.

Wrapping Paper vs Tissue Paper vs Kraft Wrapping

They layer together but do different jobs. Wrapping paper is the heavier 60 to 90 gsm outer wrap that holds a fold and hides contents. Tissue paper is the lightweight 17 to 22 gsm inner layer that wraps and cushions inside a box. Kraft wrapping paper is sturdy brown stock for void fill, product protection, and shipping. Choose wrapping paper for the decorative outer gift layer.

Printing and Branding on Wrapping Paper

Custom Printed Papers prints wrapping paper in full-color CMYK or solid Pantone, with no ink coverage limit. Gloss and matte finishes change how the color reads, and metallic inks add a reflective effect. Embossing cylinders add a raised texture for a finish a customer can feel. Confirm color, finish, and logo placement on a free proof before production.
