It’s a Wrap – Beautiful Tissue Paper!

Paper Carrier Bags - Retail Packaging As a consumer yourself, you will no doubt be aware of the importance of beautiful tissue paper. You can probably name the stores that spend that little extra time lovingly wrapping your purchase before popping it in a luxurious paper carrier bag. But when was the last time you re-evaluated the way you wrap your goods?

Coloured Tissue Paper - Retail Packaging Layers of tissue paper are primarily added for protection – particularly of delicate items and fabrics. However, the way in which you wrap your customer’s purchases can influence the way in which they perceive you. In fact, research carried out in the United States* found that:

– 48% of small retailers felt good packaging helped them to compete with larger stores

– 64% said packaging was an important part of their brand

– 49% felt that packaging is particularly important when it comes to online sales.

So what are the considerations when choosing tissue paper?

Coloured Tissue Paper

Colour can promote a certain mood or feel. For example, for cool sophistication think black, grey or luxuriously thick white. For a warmer feel, opt for buttermilk or perhaps a shade like red. Metallic colours are very popular at Christmas time, so perhaps consider using silver or gold tissue paper if that is the image you are keen to portray.

Morplan has a rainbow of 20 colourful shades of tissue paper in stock in a choice of wholesale quantities so you can be selective in ensuring your brand is reflected in your packaging just as you would like it to be.

Convenience

To help save time, buy your tissue paper in ready cut squares. Morplan is the UK’s leading wholesale packaging supplier to retailers, offing packs of 240 sheets at 35x35cm. This size, from our extensive experience, is perfect for wrapping gifts and accessories. These squares are not only cost effective for small retailers, but they also ensure waste is minimal. They also eliminate the battle of trying to stylishly fold in bulky excess. Incidentally, Morplan’s tissue paper is ideal for stuffing into gift bags to create a bigger impression (our top tip to you).

Memorable

Floral Tissue Paper With Seal
Leave a stamp on your purchaser’s memory by adding a little personal touch – perhaps a branded sticker to seal the wrap, a trademark bow or a memorable print. Morplan has a range of funky candy striped, floral or dotty tissue paper that will ensure you stand out from the crowd, or for really luxurious look check out their elegant dove grey and white patterned bridal tissue comes with a matching seal.

Ensure the impression you give is the right one!
