How to pack a box with wrapping paper? Step by step instructions

Gift boxes carefully wrapped in decorative wrapping paper look very impressive and attract many curious glances. It's not about their content, which is actually the most important thing, but about the way of packaging itself, without dirt, creases and a lot of adhesive tape.

We usually give up wrapping paper precisely because of the difficulties associated with its use. It is much easier for us to reach for gift bags, which do not cause us this problem, but are also less impressive than traditional, well-wrapped paper.

So let's break the spell of wrapping paper and enjoy the useful skill of effectively packing gift boxes.

Useful tips to make packing easier:

Before you start wrapping the box with wrapping paper , pay attention to some useful tips that will help you prepare the perfect gift:

1. If you are packing fragile items, add an extra layer of protection in the form of bubble wrap or newspaper between the packaging and the item you are packing.

2. Make sure the wrapping paper is folded evenly and neatly around the box to ensure a clean and neat appearance.

3. Before packing, make sure the box is properly sealed and there are no gaps that could cause the contents to fall out.

4. If you are packing multiple boxes, mark each box with a label or sticker to make it easier to recognize the contents and make unpacking easier later.

5. Remember that packing techniques may vary depending on the size and shape of the box and the type of contents. It is important to always pay attention to safety and carefully protect the contents from possible damage during transportation or storage.

Wrapping gifts in decorative paper

Step 1: Preparation of materials

Prepare the box you want to pack and the appropriate size of wrapping paper . Make sure the paper is large enough to completely wrap the box. Organize scissors, duct tape and possibly other supporting materials such as stickers or labels.

Step 2: Preparing the box

Check that the box is clean and free of any damage. Remove all items that may get in the way while packing. Fold all the inside flaps of the box to create a stable packing surface.

Step 3: Place the box on the paper

Spread the wrapping paper on a flat surface and place the box in the center of the paper. Make sure the box is vertical and level.

Step 4: Wrapping the box

Starting with one side of the decorative wrapping paper , gently wrap it around the box. Make sure the paper is taut, but not too tight so as not to damage its contents. Continue wrapping the paper around the box, securing it on the sides and ends. If the paper is too short, you can add another piece and secure it with tape.

Step 5: Closing the box

Once the box is completely wrapped in wrapping paper , close it. Fold over the inner flaps of the box, then the outer flaps. Make sure the flaps fit snugly and the box is well secured.

Step 6: Secure with adhesive tape

To further secure the box, use adhesive tape to secure the flaps. Tape the center of the flap and securely attach it to the box. You can also use it on the sides of the box to give it extra stability.

Step 7: Possible labeling of the box

If you want, you can label the box or sticker with information about its contents. This will make it easier to identify the box when giving it or storing it.

Way to go! You've just wrapped your first gift box. If the decorative paper on it doesn't look the way you want it yet, don't worry! With each subsequent attempt, you will get closer to the ideal and the gifts you wrap will attract curious glances.
