How Many Gifts Does One Roll Wrap?

It depends on the size and shape of your gifts, but here’s a general guide:

6' roll (30" × 72") covers 15 square feet — typically wraps up to 6 small gifts, 3 medium gifts, or 1–2 large gifts.
15' roll (30" × 180") covers 37.5 square feet — enough for up to 16 small gifts, 7 medium gifts, or 5 large gifts.

What counts as a small or medium gift?

Small gifts include books, candles, and accessories. Medium-sized boxes might be board games, shoeboxes, or small kitchen items.

How can I estimate how much paper I need?

To estimate how much paper you'll need for one box:

Paper width needed = box width + box height + 1–2 inches of buffer
Paper length needed = (box height × 2) + (box depth × 2) + 1–2 inches of buffer

This gives you the total area needed for that gift. Compare it to the square footage of the roll to estimate how many gifts it will cover.

Is your wrapping paper easy to cut and fold?

Yes - our premium paper is thick enough to resist tearing but smooth and easy to fold. It wraps cleanly around corners and cuts easily with scissors.

What roll size should I choose?

If you're wrapping more than a few gifts or working with larger boxes, we recommend the longer roll. It offers the best value and helps ensure you won’t run short.
