Gift Wrapping
How to choose gift wrapping
Container material
Pick Gift Giving in cardboard for light loads, or choose wood for a keepsake that lasts.
Label application
For Gift Tags & Labels, use sticker paper for speed, or card if you want to write a note.
Colour choice
Match colour to event: silver or black for formal Gift Giving, pink or yellow for Party & Celebration.
Craft medium
In Arts & Entertainment, select ink for hand finishing, or sticker paper for printed sheets.
Durability vs feel
Weigh material: vinyl labels resist spills, but paper tags feel more traditional at a party.
What's good
- Gift Giving boxes and bags in paper or cardboard give you a finished container, so no wrapping required.
- Gift Tags & Labels in sticker paper or vinyl stick on fast, quicker than tying card tags with string.
- Party & Celebration stock comes in pink, blue and yellow, making it easy to match a theme.
- Arts & Entertainment materials such as ink and sticker paper let you create custom designs at home.
Things to watch
- Paper and card Gift Giving pieces crease if squeezed, while wood or metal versions are rigid but heavier.
- Cotton Gift Giving bags need washing, unlike vinyl Party & Celebration labels that wipe clean.
- Ink printed Gift Tags & Labels can smudge before they dry, a fault vinyl does not share.
- Bright Party & Celebration colours like red or green may look odd against white or grey Gift Giving sets.
Care & maintenance
Dry storage
Keep paper, card and cardboard items flat in a dry room to stop warping.
Cotton care
Hand wash cotton bags, then air dry away from direct heat.
Hard surfaces
Wipe wood or metal tags with a soft, dry cloth to avoid scratches.
Adhesive health
Store vinyl and sticker paper away from radiators so the adhesive stays stable.
