BEHIND ALL THAT COLOUR
We’re a small business too.
Proudly South African. Women-owned. Family-run. And built by people who understand what it takes to grow something of your own.
OUR STORY
It started with a problem we knew too well.
Hi, I’m Vimbai.
I started Krinkle Paper Co after struggling to find good-quality crinkle paper locally without having to import small quantities at ridiculous prices.
What began as a simple solution for gifting and ecommerce businesses slowly grew into something much bigger.
My cousin Andrea joined me in 2023, and today Krinkle is still very much a small family business — built around ordinary working days, customer WhatsApps, boxes being packed, colour debates, new ideas and the occasional organised chaos that comes with running a growing business.
We know what it feels like to build something with limited resources and big plans.
That shapes how we run Krinkle. We want our products to make it easier for other businesses to create packaging they’re proud to send out into the world — without making things unnecessarily complicated.
HOME-GROWN, ON PURPOSE
Still small.
Still hands-on.
Krinkle may have grown, but we haven’t lost the part that matters.
We’re still the people answering questions, planning products, solving problems and figuring out how to do things better.
We understand why margins matter. We understand that sometimes you need ten of something, not ten thousand. And we understand that every order leaving a small business carries your reputation with it.
You’re dealing with people,
not a ticket number.
not a ticket number.

WHY BUSINESSES CHOOSE KRINKLE
Beautiful to look at.
Practical to work with.
Good packaging has to do more than look pretty. It needs to protect, fill space, work consistently and make packing easier — especially when you’re doing it every day.

ONE LESS THING TO GUESS
How much crinkle
paper do you need?
We built a calculator for that.
Enter your box dimensions and we’ll estimate how much filler you need — because buying too much wastes money, and running out halfway through packing is no fun either.
