Birthdays, anniversaries, holidays... What kind of packaging will you use for gifts? This year's year-end peak season is approaching. Are you ready?

What kind of tissue paper would you use to wrap jewelry? What kind of packaging should be used for light-colored clothing to avoid staining concerns? How can bulk packaging avoid being piled up in disarray... These seemingly small issues directly affect the presentation effect of gifts and the gift-receiving experience.

Tissue Paper for Gift is by no means a dispensable supporting role. It not only enhances the aesthetics of the gift but also elevates the ritualistic feeling of the gift through the matching of colors and textures, giving the recipient a surprise akin to opening a mystery box when unwrapping the package. When selecting wrapping paper, different materials, colors, and designs can bring about varied effects, aiding brands and consumers in better expressing emotions or conveying brand messages.

Whether it's personal hand-wrapping of birthday gifts or businesses customizing uniform lining paper for branded gift boxes, understanding the classification characteristics and purchasing logic of gift tissue paper can ensure that the packaging effect better meets the needs. As an expert in flexible packaging solutions, MTPAK has understood many customers' concerns regarding the selection of gift wrapping paper. This article will introduce several common types of gift wrapping paper to help you choose the most suitable packaging solution and create the perfect gift appearance.

What are the classifications of gift wrapping paper?

White Tissue Wrap

This type of gift wrapping paper can be called a universal lining paper. Made from wood pulp or bamboo pulp, it is light, thin, and soft, with low transparency and high whiteness. Some styles add slight textures (such as fine lines and embossing) to enhance the texture. It has no odor, does not shed powder, and does not damage sensitive materials such as clothing and jewelry.

When packaging some high-end gifts (such as jewelry, perfume, and watches), white lining paper can highlight the exquisite feel of the gifts; when paired with colored gift boxes, it can neutralize strong colors and avoid visual clutter; it can also be used to wrap clothing to prevent pilling or dust contamination during transportation.

Brown Kraft Tissue Wrap

Using unbleached cowhide pulp as raw material, the color is naturally light brown or dark brown, and the paper is slightly thicker than white lining paper, with fine fiber texture and a rustic feel to the touch. Some products are labeled as "biodegradable", which is in line with environmental protection concepts, and they are tough and not easy to tear. This type of packaging is favored for gifts with a natural, retro, and handmade style. When paired with decorations such as hemp ropes and pine cones, it is also commonly used as a lining for gift boxes by many eco-friendly brand merchants. Due to its natural wood pulp content, there may be slight batch differences in color. For merchants who have high requirements for color consistency in bulk packaging, it is recommended to request samples for confirmation in advance.

Colored Tissue Wrap

The gift wrapping paper with rich colors possesses a strong festive attribute and a personalized style. This is because food-grade, eco-friendly dyes are added to the white or kraft paper base. Some styles feature gradients, glitter, or prints. The paper quality is similar to that of white wrapping paper. When choosing, if you are packaging light-colored clothing or easily stainable materials such as silk or white leather goods, it is recommended to prioritize high-quality colored wrapping paper that is "non-fluorescent and low in color fading" to avoid staining risks.

Newsprint/Kraft Paper

Newsprint, a type of gift lining paper, is made from waste paper pulp. It has a light gray or beige color, thin paper quality, and a slight printing texture on the surface. Its price is 30%-50% lower than that of kraft-colored lining paper, making it cost-effective. It is particularly suitable for packaging that pursues a retro style and has a limited budget. It can also be used as an inner cushion for gift boxes, with the outer layer matched with kraft paper or colored paper boxes to reduce packaging costs. However, it is not recommended for wrapping light-colored or high-value gifts to avoid slight fading or insufficient texture of the paper.

Thick and durable kraft paper packaging, mostly in flat sheets or rolls, can be used alone as the outer packaging for gifts or paired with gift tissue paper.

Colored Shredded Paper

The primary function of this type of product is to fill gaps in gift boxes and serve as decoration. It involves cutting colored or kraft paper into thin strips, giving it a fluffy, shredded paper appearance. It has no odor and a relatively soft texture. When used as a liner in jewelry or cosmetics gift boxes, it helps prevent items from colliding during transportation. When filling, it is recommended to "gently squeeze and fluff before placing" to avoid compaction and loss of cushioning effect.

Tissue Paper Rack

Strictly speaking, this belongs to the category of tissue paper storage tools, but it is often sold together with tissue paper. It is mostly a metal or plastic vertical rack that can hold rolled or folded gift tissue paper. The rack body comes with a cutting knife or tear notch, making it convenient to cut to length as needed and preventing the tissue paper from being stacked in disarray, getting damp, and wrinkling.

How to choose suitable gift wrapping paper?

The key to choosing the right gift tissue paper is to start with the characteristics of your gift, and create a packaging style and usage scenario that match, rather than blindly pursuing appearance value or low price.

In terms of material, for fragile gifts such as ceramics and glass, it is recommended to choose a style with a slightly higher weight. The paper should be more resilient and have better cushioning properties to avoid damage to the gift due to the breakage of thin paper. If the gift box has large gaps, it is advisable to fill it with Colored Shredded Paper for dual protection. For sensitive materials such as silk and cashmere, it is more appropriate to choose a White Tissue Wrap without fluorescent agents or odor. For heavy gifts such as books, it is recommended to choose a Brown Kraft Tissue Wrap or Kraft Paper with strong resilience to avoid tearing during packaging. If sharp edges are prone to puncturing the lining paper, it is advisable to wrap it with a thin layer of foam cotton first, and then wrap it with the lining paper.

In terms of style, it is recommended to keep it consistent with the gift, as this will create a more harmonious look. If you want to highlight a simple and elegant style, the first choice is White Tissue Wrap (preferably in its natural white color). For handmade gifts with a retro, natural style, choose the combination of Brown Kraft Tissue Wrap and Kraft Paper. For special holidays or anniversaries, you can choose Colored Tissue Wrap, paired with the same color Colored Shredded Paper for filling, and tie a bow to create a more festive atmosphere. When giving handmade journal gifts, choose Newsprint or light gray lining paper, paired with kraft paper outer packaging, tied with cotton or hemp string, and affixed with retro stamps or handwritten labels to create a literary feel at a low cost.

You can also choose the most cost-effective option based on your budget. For individuals or small-batch sellers with limited budgets, Newsprint or basic White Tissue Wrap is preferred, as they are low-cost and do not affect the basic packaging effect. For Colored Shredded Paper, you can choose the "Mixed Color Small Packaging" option, which can enhance the appearance with minimal use.

If you have a sufficient budget for your high-end gift wrapping paper, you can choose a customized, exclusive color or a Colored Tissue Wrap with a logo. Pair it with a metal Tissue Paper Rack to enhance operational efficiency. Use Kraft Paper or a customized paper box as the outer layer to create multi-layer packaging, highlighting the high-end positioning.

Conclusion

If you want to make the unwrapping process more ceremonial, choose a matching tissue paper for the gift. Whether it's a heartwarming gift wrapped by hand or a carefully designed branded gift box by a merchant, choosing the right category and using the right techniques can maximize the value of gift tissue paper.
