Make every gift special with custom Christmas wrapping paper from Print On Papers.
A custom Christmas wrapping paper roll gives you a fast, consistent way to wrap holiday gifts in your own branded design. Picking the right one comes down to paper weight, roll size, print method, and timing. This guide walks through each choice so you can order with confidence. You can see the full specs on the Custom Christmas Wrapping Paper page at Print On Papers.
Why Choose a Roll Instead of Flat Sheets?
Rolls make sense when you wrap a lot of gifts and want to work fast. You pull the length you need, cut it, and wrap. Flat sheets are better for small counters where each gift gets a pre-cut piece.
| Format | Best for | Main advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Wrapping paper roll | Gift counters, busy stores, packing stations | Cut to any length, less waste |
| Flat pre-cut sheets | Small shops, boutique gift wrap | Uniform size, quick grab-and-wrap |
Print On Papers offers both formats, so you can match the one that fits how your team actually wraps.
What Roll Size Do You Need?
Your roll size should match your biggest gift, not your average one. Measure your largest box and add a few inches on each side for folding and overlap.
Standard sheet sizes at Print On Papers include 19×28″, 20×30″, and 24×36″, and custom dimensions are available for rolls. Share your preferred width and length in the quote form and the team can set it up for you.
A few quick tips:
- Choose a wider roll if you wrap large boxes or multiple items together
- Choose a narrower roll if most gifts are small, so you waste less paper
- Think about how much length your wrapping station can store and handle
Which Paper Weight Works Best?
Paper weight is measured in GSM, which is grams per square meter. A higher number means thicker paper.
- 60–70 GSM: Light and easy to fold. Good for everyday retail gift wrapping.
- 80–90 GSM: Thicker and more opaque. Good for premium gifts and shipped packages.
If you’re wrapping sharp-cornered boxes or sending gifts through the mail, the heavier option holds up better against tears.
White Paper or Kraft Paper?
Both base papers are made from FSC-certified materials. White paper gives bright, clean colors that suit bold holiday artwork. Natural kraft has a warm, earthy tone that works well for simple designs and a handmade look.
You can also pick a matte uncoated finish for a natural feel, or a satin finish for a little more shine and richer color.
How Should the Design Look on a Roll?
A repeating pattern works best on a roll. Because you cut the paper to different lengths, the design needs to look good wherever it’s cut. A small logo repeat, a simple holiday motif, or a two-color pattern all work well.
Avoid one large logo placed in a single spot. It may end up cut off or hidden once the gift is wrapped. If your brand colors need to be exact, ask for Pantone matching. Full-color CMYK printing works well for detailed holiday artwork.
Which Printing Method Is Right?
Print On Papers uses two methods, and the right one depends on your order size.
- Flexographic printing: Suits large orders with bold, repeating patterns.
- Digital printing: Suits shorter runs, limited-edition designs, and fine detail.
Both methods use soy-based and water-based inks. If you’re testing a new holiday design, digital is a sensible place to start.
How Long Does It Take?
Plan on about 6–7 business days for printing and 4–5 business days for shipping. Add time for proofing and any artwork changes.
The quote form also lists standard shipping (10–15 days) and express shipping (6–8 days). Since it’s already October, ordering soon gives you breathing room before the gifting rush. The U.S. Small Business Administration notes that supplier lead times are a common challenge for small businesses, especially in busy seasons.
How Much Does It Cost?
The product page lists a starting price of $0.50 per unit. Your final cost depends on size, paper weight, number of print colors (1, 2, or 4), and quantity. There’s no minimum order, so small shops can test a design without committing to a huge run.
Free design support and free shipping are also listed, but ask for a full quote so you see every cost clearly before you approve anything.
Is the Paper Recyclable?
Yes, the FSC-certified white and kraft base materials are recyclable, and eco-friendly variants are available. If you plan to print “recyclable” on your packaging, keep the wording accurate. The FTC Green Guides set the rules for environmental claims.
