The amount depends on the internal box dimensions, the space occupied by your products and how firmly you pack the filler. Use our calculator for a tailored estimate instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all figure.

How do I choose the right colour?

Start with your brand, occasion or product colours. Choose a close tonal match for a calm result, a complementary shade for contrast, or a neutral such as Kraft, White, Vanilla or Black when the products should remain the focus.

Product guidance

Using crinkle paper

What is crinkle paper used for?

Crinkle paper fills empty space, supports lightweight products and adds colour and texture inside gift boxes, hampers, ecommerce parcels and product displays. Its crimped shape helps the strands interlock and hold volume.

Does crinkle paper protect products during delivery?

Crinkle paper helps reduce movement and cushions lightweight items when packed firmly around them. Fragile, heavy or breakable products may still require suitable internal wrapping and a strong outer courier carton.

Is Krinkle Paper Co crinkle paper recyclable?

Yes. Our crinkle paper is paper-based and can be reused or recycled where local paper-recycling services accept it. Keep it clean and dry, and remove any non-paper packaging before recycling.

Is the crinkle paper food safe?

Our crinkle paper is not certified for direct food contact. It can be used around properly sealed or individually packaged food products, but unwrapped food should not touch the paper.

Do you sell wood wool?

No. We specialise in crinkle paper rather than wood wool. If you want a soft, natural-looking alternative, Vanilla or Kraft crinkle paper gives a similar neutral finish with a cleaner, more consistent presentation.

What is a good wood wool alternative for gift boxes?

Crinkle paper is a practical wood wool alternative when you want a cleaner, more consistent filler with good volume and a wide choice of colours. Vanilla and Kraft create a natural, neutral look, while the crimped strands help support products and reduce movement inside the box.

Is crinkle paper a good bubble wrap alternative?

Crinkle paper can be a paper-based bubble wrap alternative for filling empty space and cushioning many lightweight products. For fragile, sharp or heavy items, use suitable protective wrapping around each item as well as crinkle paper to prevent movement inside a strong outer box.
