When it comes to wrapping, the most common mistake is improper paper measurement. If you don't have enough, covering your box won't be easy. If you fold too much, you'll struggle with the bulk. If you make the proper number of cuts, your item will be beautifully wrapped.


How to Measure Width


Your paper should be as wide as your box, plus twice that much in height. The paper should be as wide as 12 + 3 + 3, or 18 inches, for a box that is 12 inches wide and 3 inches high.

How to Measure Height

Your paper should be tall enough to wrap around the box and an additional one to three inches for overlap. For instance, the paper should be 3+4+3+4+2 — or 16 inches tall — if the box is three inches high and four inches deep. To calculate this, simply roll your box along the paper.
