Printed tissue paper is lightweight wrapping paper customised with a brand logo, pattern, or message. UK retailers, e-commerce sellers, and gift services use printed tissue paper as the first visual layer inside a parcel or shopping bag. The wrap protects the product, signals brand identity, and turns the unboxing moment into a memorable touchpoint. At Packonic, printed tissue paper runs on FSC-certified base stock with print options from a single Pantone colour through to full-colour artwork.
Printed tissue paper is a thin, lightweight sheet, usually between 17 gsm and 22 gsm, that carries a custom-printed design. The print methods include 1-colour logo work, 2-colour pattern work, and full-colour photographic artwork. Packonic supplies printed tissue paper across white, coloured, black, and multi-coloured base stock for UK brands. Each sheet is FSC-certified, and every order ships from the Packonic UK supply line.

Printed tissue paper sits between the product and the outer carton or mailing bag. The wrap performs three functions in a packaging stack. First, it cushions the product against minor friction during transit. Second, it presents a branded surface the moment the parcel is opened. Third, it adds a tactile layer that reinforces perceived product value.
The sheet folds easily, layers cleanly, and accepts ribbon or sticker closures without damage. UK e-commerce brands often combine printed tissue paper with kraft mailers, rigid gift boxes, or branded shipping cartons for a layered unbox sequence.
UK retailers choose printed tissue paper because it delivers brand consistency at a low per-parcel cost. The wrap is visible in every customer-facing moment, from boutique counter to courier doorstep. Subscription boxes, gift services, and e-commerce shops use the same wrap across product categories, which holds the brand identity steady. The packaging signal also extends into social media, where unboxing clips and photographs amplify the wrap to a wider audience without paid promotion.
Print method selection depends on artwork complexity and the brand budget. A single-mark logo prints cleanly on 1-colour. A two-tone pattern with a logo prints on 2-colour. A photographic image or a multi-tone illustration requires full-colour. Packonic offers all three methods on every base stock option.
The base stock choice covers white, coloured, black, and multi-coloured ranges, plus a printed roll option for high-volume kit lines.
Pricing for printed tissue paper at Packonic depends on three variables: print method, base stock, and run size. Small runs start at 250 pcs across every method.
