New Gift Wrap Designs Now Available

September 3, 2008

All sizes are sold at wholesale pricing.

How is our gift wrap made?

Actually, the production process of wrapping paper is fairly simple. Paper, ink, finishes, and other materials in the design process are purchased from paper mills and ink producers. Independent artists are commissioned to design the creative gift wrap for christmas, birthday, weddings, baby showers, and other special occasions. A computer file with the vectorized artwork from the design team is read by a special machine made to engrave the image onto a printing cylinder which is then made to fit on the printing press. The presses use rotogravure (a flexographic printing process). Rotogravure requires etched cylinders, while flexography uses rubber plates fitted to a rotating cylinder. The gravure printing is used to decorate wrapping paper. The state-of-the-art printing equipment for the gift wrap can apply up to six different colors simultaneously and add special finishes like foil, kraft, reversable designs, etc. As the paper emerges from the press, it is rolled onto large rolls and transferred to another part of the factory. Machines cut and wrap the gift wrap in much smaller rolls for sale to card shops, department stores, shopping malls, etc. Since PackagingSupplies.com does not have a minimum order policy, customers can order as little as one roll.
