Materials and Paper Stock Options
We offer custom packing paper in several material options to match different packaging needs and brand aesthetics. Tissue paper is our most popular choice for wrapping individual products, available in weights ranging from 17 gsm to 25 gsm.
This lightweight paper provides gentle cushioning and creates an elegant unboxing experience, making it ideal for cosmetic boxes, apparel, and gift items.
For businesses seeking more substantial protection, kraft packing paper provides excellent durability at 40-60 gsm weights. This heavier paper stock offers better tear resistance and cushioning properties, making it suitable for wrapping fragile items or filling void space in shipping boxes.
Kraft paper's natural brown color provides a rustic, eco-friendly aesthetic that many brands prefer, though we can also print on white kraft for a cleaner background.
Newsprint-style packing paper offers another economical option at 30-35 gsm weights. While lighter than kraft, it still provides adequate protection for most products and accepts ink beautifully. This option works particularly well for businesses that want vintage or editorial-style branded packaging.
All printing on our custom packing paper uses soy-based inks that deliver vibrant, consistent colors without harmful chemicals. We can print single-color designs, multi-color patterns, or full-color artwork depending on your brand requirements.
The soy-based inks remain bright throughout shipping and handling, ensuring your brand message stays visible and impactful.
Customization and Design Possibilities
Your made-to-order packing paper can feature repeating logo patterns, brand colors, inspiring quotes, care instructions, or artistic designs that reflect your company's personality.
Many businesses use packing paper as an opportunity to tell their brand story, incorporating mission statements, sustainability commitments, or QR codes that link to product videos or social media profiles.
Pattern options range from subtle watermarks to bold, edge-to-edge designs. You can choose classic repeating patterns where your logo appears at regular intervals, or opt for more creative layouts that incorporate multiple brand elements.
Some businesses print different messages on each sheet, creating variety within the same order and making the unboxing experience more dynamic.
Our design team provides free support to help optimize your artwork for paper printing. We'll ensure proper color matching, recommend the best paper stock for your design, and help you choose the right pattern density to balance brand visibility with readability.
Whether you have finished artwork or just a concept, we'll guide you through creating branded packing paper that enhances your packaging program.
For seasonal campaigns or limited editions, we also offer:
- Variable printing that lets you create multiple designs within a single order. This flexibility is perfect for businesses that want holiday-themed packing paper
- Product-line-specific designs
- Or rotating motivational messages
Standard Sizes and Sheet Configurations
branded packing paper is available in several standard sheet sizes to accommodate different product dimensions and packaging workflows.
Our most common option is 20 x 30 inch sheets, which provide enough coverage to wrap medium-sized items or fill space in mailer boxes. For larger products, 24 x 36 inch sheets offer extended coverage while remaining easy to handle and store.
We also offer:
- Packing paper by the roll
- Typically in widths of 18 inches
- 24 inches
- Or 30 inches. Roll configurations work well for high-volume operations where staff can cut paper to exact sizes as needed. Standard roll lengths range from 100 feet to 500 feet
- Though custom lengths can be produced to match your specific consumption rates
For businesses packaging smaller items like jewelry, soap boxes, or samples, we recommend our 15 x 20 inch sheets. This compact size reduces waste while still providing adequate coverage for delicate products.
Many businesses order multiple sizes to ensure they always have the right packing paper for each product category.
All sheet sizes come bundled in convenient packages of 100, 250, or 500 sheets. Roll options ship on sturdy cores with protective wrapping to prevent damage during transit. We can also provide custom bundling configurations for businesses with specific inventory management needs.
Sustainability Through Responsible Materials
Teal Packaging prioritizes environmental responsibility in every aspect of our these boxes production. All our paper stocks come from FSC-certified sources, ensuring they originate from responsibly managed forests.
This certification guarantees that the wood pulp used to create your packing paper comes from suppliers who meet strict environmental and social standards.
Both our tissue paper and kraft paper options are fully recyclable and biodegradable. Unlike plastic bubble wrap or foam peanuts, paper-based packaging breaks down naturally and can be recycled alongside cardboard boxes and other paper products.
This makes disposal simple for your customers and reduces the environmental impact of your packaging program.
The soy-based inks we use for printing eliminate petroleum-based chemicals from the production process. Soy inks are renewable, low in VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and easier to remove during the paper recycling process. They also produce richer, more vibrant colors than traditional petroleum inks while maintaining excellent fade resistance.
Many businesses choose made-to-order packing paper as part of a comprehensive sustainability strategy. When combined with kraft boxes and biodegradable cushioning materials, paper-based packaging creates a fully compostable shipping solution.
This approach resonates strongly with environmentally conscious consumers who actively seek out brands committed to reducing packaging waste.
We're transparent about our environmental practices because we believe sustainability should be authentic and measurable, not just marketing language.
Our manufacturing partners undergo regular environmental audits to ensure they maintain the highest standards for waste reduction, energy efficiency, and responsible sourcing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Packing Paper
What is the minimum order for made-to-order packing paper?
The minimum order quantity is 50 units. For sheet configurations, this typically means 50 bundles of your chosen quantity (each bundle contains 100-500 sheets depending on the option selected). For roll configurations, the minimum is 50 individual rolls.
This low threshold makes personalized packing paper accessible even for small businesses and startups testing branded packaging for the first time.
How many colors can I print on your packaging?
Standard printing supports up to four colors, which accommodates most logos and brand designs. For more complex artwork requiring additional colors or photographic images, we offer full-color printing with unlimited color capabilities.
During the design consultation, our team will recommend the best printing approach based on your specific artwork and budget considerations.
Can branded packing paper be recycled by my customers?
Yes, all our your packaging options are fully recyclable. Tissue paper, kraft paper, and newsprint can be recycled alongside cardboard boxes and other paper products. The soy-based inks we use are specifically chosen because they're easier to remove during the recycling process compared to petroleum-based inks.
We recommend including recycling instructions on your packaging to help customers properly dispose of materials.
What file format works best for packing paper artwork?
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) are ideal because they scale to any size without losing quality. However, we also accept high-resolution raster images (PNG, JPG) with a minimum resolution of 300 DPI.
If you only have a low-resolution logo or concept sketches, our free design support team can help recreate or refine your artwork for optimal print quality on these boxes.
How should I store your packaging to maintain quality?
Store made-to-order packing paper in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Tissue paper should remain in its original packaging until use to prevent wrinkling or discoloration. Kraft and newsprint rolls should be stored upright or on dispensing racks to maintain their shape.
Avoid storing paper in humid environments like basements or garages, as moisture can cause warping and affect print quality. Properly stored this packaging maintains its appearance and performance for 12-18 months.
