Tissue Paper

Sometimes the best unboxing experiences start with a simple sheet of tissue paper.

L-PAC’s range of machine glazed tissue paper makes it easy to add colour, presentation and an extra layer around products packed for ecommerce, retail and gifting. Choose from classic white tissue paper or a wide selection of colours including black, cream, red, pink, lilac, peach, orange, yellow, green, turquoise and blue.

Whether you’re wrapping a product before placing it inside an ecommerce box, lining gift packaging, adding colour to a retail purchase or creating a coordinated unboxing experience, tissue paper is an incredibly versatile addition to your packing station.

Our coloured tissue papers are supplied as 500 x 750mm sheets in 16gsm machine glazed paper, while our 18gsm white acid-free tissue paper is available in both 450 x 700mm and 500 x 750mm sizes. With a wide choice of tissue paper colours, you can coordinate your internal packaging with your brand, products, event or season.

What is Machine Glazed (MG) tissue paper, and why is it ideal for UK retail packaging?
Machine Glazed (MG) tissue paper is manufactured with a high-gloss finish on one side and a soft, matte reverse. It is widely used by UK e-commerce brands and high-street retailers because it provides an elegant appearance while offering lightweight cushioning to protect goods in transit.

Is the tissue paper acid free?
Our White 18gsm Machine Glazed Tissue Paper is specified as acid free.
The coloured 16gsm products have not been described as acid free, so if acid-free tissue is essential for your particular product or application, choose the specifically designated White Acid-Free options.

Why should I choose acid-free tissue paper for packaging clothing and jewellery?
Acid-free tissue paper (such as our White 18gsm option) has a neutral pH level. This prevents acidic compounds from damaging or discolouring delicate items over time, making it essential for UK fashion boutiques, jewellers, and archival packaging.

Can UK businesses purchase coloured tissue paper sheets in wholesale or bulk quantities?
Yes. As a leading UK trade packaging supplier, L-PAC provides wholesale tissue paper reams and bulk quantities tailored for e-commerce fulfilment centres, gift wrapping stations, and independent retail stores across the UK.

Is L-PAC coloured tissue paper eco-friendly and recyclable?
Absolutely. All L-PAC tissue paper sheets are 100% recyclable, fully biodegradable, and plastic-free, helping UK businesses lower their environmental footprint and meet consumer demand for sustainable packaging supplies.

How does using coloured tissue paper improve my brand’s customer unboxing experience?
Adding a layer of vibrant tissue paper creates a memorable, branded unboxing moment for e-commerce deliveries. It builds brand loyalty, adds a perceived value of luxury, and acts as a lightweight, protective void fill solution.

What is the best tissue paper for Christmas?
That depends on the look you’re creating.
For traditional Christmas colours, combine Poppy Red and Forest Green.
White provides a crisp winter look, while Pearl Ivory can create something softer and more premium.
You can also choose a colour that complements your existing branding rather than using traditional Christmas colours.

Can I use tissue paper inside ecommerce boxes?
Absolutely. This is one of its most popular packaging applications.
Use tissue to wrap individual products, line the inside of the box or fold sheets over the contents before sealing them with a label.
It can turn a relatively simple ecommerce box into a much more engaging presentation when your customer opens their order.

Can I seal tissue paper with a sticker?
Yes.
Our 25mm and 50mm clear polypropylene circular labels provide a neat way to secure folded tissue without covering too much of the paper.
At Christmas, you can switch to our 50mm Santa Baby or O Christmas Tree printed labels to add a festive finishing touch.

Can tissue paper be used with shredded paper?
Yes. Tissue and shredded paper can work very well together.
Wrap or line products with tissue and then use 4mm ZigZag shredded paper around them to fill space and enhance presentation.
With multiple colours available across both ranges, you can create a combination to complement your branding or the occasion.

Is tissue paper suitable for gift wrapping?
Yes. Tissue paper can be used to wrap products directly or as an additional layer of presentation inside gift boxes and bags.
Its lightweight construction makes it particularly useful for delicate presentation where conventional wrapping paper might feel too heavy.

Is tissue paper suitable for businesses?
Yes. Our tissue paper is particularly suited to ecommerce businesses, retailers, gift shops, fashion brands, beauty and cosmetics businesses, fulfilment operations and other commercial packers.
Volume pricing is available across the range, including pallet quantities for larger users.
