The first thing a customer touches after opening the box is usually the tissue. A plain sheet protects the product. A printed sheet with your logo turns the same second into the moment people film, photograph and remember.
Custom tissue paper is thin, soft wrapping paper printed with your logo or pattern. Brands fold it around products inside shipping boxes, gift boxes and shopping bags to protect them and present them. It comes in white, black, kraft or any dyed color, from light 14 gsm to heavier 28 gsm sheets.
We print custom tissue paper in digital full color, flexo spot colors or metallic ink, on standard, MG, acid-free or recycled tissue, in sheet sizes from 15 x 20 in to 24 x 36 in. Orders start at 50 units with a 6 to 8 day turnaround.
What Is Custom Tissue Paper?
Custom tissue paper is lightweight, slightly translucent paper printed with a brand’s logo, pattern or message and cut into large sheets. Apparel, beauty, jewelry, candle and subscription brands use it to wrap products in the box, line shopping bags and add a finished layer between the box and the product. Branded tissue paper costs a fraction of the box and changes how the whole package feels.
What Branded Tissue Paper Does in the Box
- Protects: keeps products from scuffing against the box and each other.
- Presents: hides the product until the customer folds the tissue back.
- Brands: puts your logo on the surface customers photograph.
- Holds the look: keeps folded clothing neat in transit.
Tissue Paper Colors and Grades
White tissue
The classic choice. Shows every ink color brightly and looks clean in any box.
Black tissue
A premium, moody look. Prints best in white, gold or silver ink.
Kraft tissue
Natural brown tone for eco and rustic brands. Dark inks read best.
Dyed color tissue
Tissue dyed to a brand color, then printed in a contrasting ink.
| Grade | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Standard tissue | Soft, matte, slightly translucent | Apparel, gifts, everyday unboxing |
| MG tissue | Machine glazed; one side smoother | Sharper print, crisper logos |
| Acid-free tissue | Made without acidic residue | Jewelry, silver, keepsakes, archival wrapping |
| Recycled tissue | Made with recovered fiber | Brands with recycled content goals |
What GSM Tissue Paper Should You Choose?
17 gsm is the standard for custom tissue paper: soft, light and easy to fold. Choose 14 gsm for the lowest cost and lightest wrap, 22 gsm for a premium feel with less show-through, and 28 gsm for heavy items and a near-opaque sheet.
| Weight | Feel | Show-through | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14 gsm | Very light | High | Bag stuffing, high-volume orders |
| 17 gsm | Standard, soft | Medium | Most apparel and gift wrapping |
| 22 gsm | Premium, fuller | Low | Luxury unboxing, beauty, jewelry |
| 28 gsm | Heavy, strong | Very low | Shoes, heavier items, multi-fold wraps |
Tissue Paper Sheet Sizes
To size tissue, measure the box length and width and add twice the depth plus 2 in for the overlap. The sheet should cover the product and fold over it once.

How Custom Tissue Paper Is Printed
Tissue is thin, so print method and ink coverage matter more than on heavier paper. A repeating pattern with open space keeps the sheet soft and lets it fold cleanly.
Flexo, 1 to 2 colors
Plates print spot colors at high speed. Best for repeat orders, brand Pantone colors and the lowest cost per sheet at volume.
Digital full color
No plates; prints photos, gradients and many colors. Best for first orders, short runs and seasonal designs.
Metallic ink
Gold or silver ink on black, white or kraft tissue for a premium, light-catching logo.
Ink coverage
Keep coverage around a quarter of the sheet or less. Heavy solid areas stiffen tissue and can show through.
Artwork Tips for Tissue Paper
- Use a scattered or tiled logo pattern rather than one large logo, so it shows after folding.
- Leave space between repeats so the tissue stays soft.
- Pick a light ink on dark tissue and a dark ink on light tissue.
- Supply vector artwork (AI, EPS or PDF) and check the digital proof at actual size.
How to Wrap Products in Tissue Paper
- Lay two sheetsCross two sheets in the box, or one sheet larger than the box.
- Place the productSet the folded item or product in the center.
- Fold the sidesFold the long sides over, then the short ends.
- Seal itClose the fold with a logo sticker or ribbon.
- Close the boxAdd an insert card on top before closing.
Is Custom Tissue Paper Recyclable?
Yes. Uncoated tissue paper is paper fiber and can go in paper recycling where local programs accept it, and it breaks down in home compost. Recycled tissue adds recovered fiber for brands that report recycled content.
Metallic inks and glitter finishes can make tissue harder to recycle in some programs, so choose standard inks if recyclability is a priority. Tissue for direct food contact is a separate food-grade product.
