Gift Wrapping

Acetate boxes are a great way for you to send out your premium products and add value at a low price. Special occasion gifts and promotional packs really stand out in gold and having a clear plastic acetate lid allows your product to be viewed easily.

Having boxes that can be put together quickly also helps you save time and therefore money. It’s no good buying cheap gift boxes only to find out that they take a long time to put together therefore losing the cost advantages of a quick turnaround. Extra materials such as glue or tape that is often needed to assemble boxes also adds to the overall cost of sending your product out in a gift box. All these things need to be carefully considered when choosing the packaging for your expanding business.

Although obviously you are trying to source your packaging at the cheapest price possible to increase your profit margins you need to be aware also of the quality of your packaging materials. This reflects on people’s perception of your business and could mean the difference between them becoming a repeat customer or not.

If you want to make even more of an impact with your mail order product you could always use tissue paper to contrast the colour of your gift box inside.

Coloured tissue paper is a lightweight paper that can be made from both virgin and recycled paper pulp.

Tissue paper is used to make a huge range of products with a wide range of different properties. Some of the key properties are strength, absorbency, basis weight, thickness, brightness, stretch, appearance.

Tissue paper is produced on a paper machine that has a single large steam heated drying cylinder called a yankee dryer that is fitted with a hot air hood. The raw material is paper pulp and is sprayed with adhesives inside the yankee cylinder to make the paper stick. Creping is done by the yankee's doctor blade that is scraping the dry paper off the cylinder surface. The crinkle is controlled by the strength of the adhesive, geometry of the doctor blade, speed difference between the yankee and final section of the paper machine and paper pulp characteristics.

The properties are controlled by pulp quality and additives both in base paper and as coating. Wrapping tissue is a translucent, thin tissue paper used for wrapping and cushioning items. White tissue paper is commonly sold specifically for bulk wrapping in reams of 480 sheets. Some shops wrap delicate merchandise in folded or crumpled layers of tissue paper to protect it before placing it in bags or boxes for the purchaser. Coloured wrapping tissue paper can be used for an assortment of visually creative purposes. For example tissue paper can be crumpled up to form objects, such as flowers.

Tissue paper was used by musicians in the early 1900s to play the comb, producing a sound similar to the kazoo. Jazz musician Red McKenzie was one of the best-known players. The production of tissue paper for wrapping is made by the machine glaze process. A slurry of fiber is placed on a forming wire where the water is allowed to drain away. The sheet is then pressed against a felt and pressed against a drying cylinder for the final drying step. The sheet is then pulled away from the dryer and wound up ready for further converting into wrapping paper.

how do i glue pictures onto plastic switchplate covers without warping the pic?

i saw some kewl switchplate covers for sale on ebay, and am trying to make my own. i printed out the pix on regular photo paper and glued it to the plate. but when i sprayed on acrylic coat, the picture warped. any ideas would be appreciated

Photo paper will warp...get color copies made and use these instead. Use Beacon's Liquid Laminate to adhere to the switch plates....it can be used as a glue under the picture and another coat on top of the picture acts as a sealer. It dries clear and much faster than decoupage mediums such as Mod-podge. You can find Liquid Laminate at Michael's and often at the larger Walmarts in the craft department.
