Bespoke Wrapping Paper
Whether you’re a small business, a creative artist, or simply someone who wants to elevate your gift-giving, bespoke wrapping paper is a creative and cost-effective way to stand out. At Johnsons, we create high-quality personalised wrapping paper using our advanced Canon Colorado press, perfect for custom designs and short runs all printed on premium sheets.
What Makes Personalised Wrapping Paper So Appealing?
Custom wrapping paper isn’t just for Christmas. From corporate gifts and retail products to weddings and brand launches, bespoke wrapping adds a professional, thoughtful finish. Here’s why it’s such a smart choice:
It’s personal: Individuals love using bespoke wrap for birthdays, weddings, or baby showers. It turns the wrap into part of the gift.
It’s a brand-builder: For businesses, every touchpoint matters. Branded wrapping paper adds polish and keeps your logo in customers’ minds.
It’s unique: Whether you’re an illustrator, designer, or photographer, custom paper is a creative way to showcase your style or artwork.
Is Bespoke Wrapping Affordable?
Yes, especially when printed digitally. This technology allows us to turn around bespoke wrapping paper quickly and cost-effectively, even in low volumes. All wrapping paper is supplied as sheets, which makes handling, packing, and distribution simple.
Larger orders tend to reduce unit costs, and we’re always happy to provide design guidance or estimates upfront. Give our team a call; we’ll be happy to help you find a solution that works for your design and your budget.
Design Tips for Custom Wrapping Paper
The most effective designs are often repeat patterns. If you’re designing your own, consider:
- Repeat size: Choose a repeat size that works well on your intended sheet size.
- Edge matching: Make sure your design flows seamlessly on all four sides to avoid harsh lines or steps.
- Mock-ups: Repeat your tile across a larger canvas to check flow and spacing before sending to print.
Wrapping Paper Artwork Specifications
To ensure your wrapping paper prints at the highest quality, please prepare and submit your design using the guidelines below:
- File Format: Please submit a single, perfectly seamless repeat tile saved as a high-resolution print-ready PDF
- Dimensions & Proportions:
- Your tile size is up to you (e.g., 100x100mm, 200x200mm, etc.), but its width must divide evenly into the final 720mm roll width (for example, a 90mm, 120mm, 180mm, or 240mm wide tile) to avoid an awkward, clipped pattern at the paper’s edges.
- Alternative: If your design has a fixed placement or a non-repeating banner layout, please supply a single flat file measuring exactly 720mm wide x 3000mm high.
- Color Mode: All files must be set to CMYK (RGB files will be auto-converted, which may cause unexpected shifts in vibrant colors).
- Resolution: A minimum of 300 DPI at 100% scale.
- Required Layout & Bleed:
- No bleed is needed on the single repeat tile itself, provided the edges match seamlessly.
- If submitting a full-length 720mm x 3000mm layout, please include 3mm of bleed
- · on the left and right edges (making the total file 726mm x 3006mm) and keep critical text/logos 10mm away from the edge safe zone.
-
- · Visual Guide: Please include a low-resolution JPG mockup showing how you expect the pattern to look when repeated across the full 3-metre roll so our prepress team can verify the layout before hitting print.
Our in-house design team is always happy to help, whether you need full creative support or just a few pointers.
