Features and types
Roll gift wrap stands out for three practical variables: the material, the width and the length. Knowing them helps you choose the right roll without waste.
Plain colour and texture paper
Arpimex produces rolls with water stone texture effect — a slightly embossed surface that gives substance to the package — in colours such as ceremony pink, sky blue, green and yellow. Also by Arpimex is the Honeycomb Honey range (H 50 cm × 20 mt) in ivory and blue: 100% paper with perforated structure, suitable for packaging christening, communion or confirmation bombonière where pastel colour is a must. For those who prefer a glossy film, the Polymatt rolls (H 1 mt × 25 mt) in pink and sky blue offer an opaque-plasticised surface that holds heat-sealed tape well.
Saul Sadoch paper: Perlage, Ecocolor and Ecocarta
Saul Sadoch, since 1914, is one of the leading Italian brands for festive packaging. The rolls available in this collection measure H 0.70 mt × 25 mt and are available in three lines:
- Perlage: pearlescent surface, available in cream and grey. Suitable for wedding or graduation gifts where presentation is part of the gift.
- Ecocolor: plain-coloured paper with matte effect in mustard — one of the most versatile neutral shades to match any ribbon.
- Ecocarta e Satin: the Christmas versions, with tartan motifs or XMas gold background, designed for presents under the tree.
Assembly spools
For those who need to package large quantities — parties, bombonière in series or event decorations — Dar D.O.O. Koper offers spools of 1 × 40 mt in pink PPL (rice-type tissue paper) and in Lemon yellow 1 × 25 mt format. These are rolls designed for extended work, where the yield per metre is the variable that counts.
How to choose the right gift wrap
For ceremonies (wedding, christening, communion, confirmation): choose plain colours in pastel or neutral shades — sky blue, pink, cream, ivory — and pair them with a matching ribbon. Arpimex rolls with water stone or honeycomb effect work well because they have texture and don't crease on the package. For pre-structured gift boxes and packaging , paper strips as a decorative border are enough.
For Christmas: Saul Sadoch Ecocarta XMas Gold or Tartan Satin rolls give the package a neat appearance without overloading it. The H 0.70 mt width covers medium-sized gifts (books, clothing, small objects) with a single wrap. If the gift is large, consider an H 1 mt roll such as the Arpimex Polymatt.
For everyday gifts (birthday, graduation): Saul Sadoch neutral colours — pearl grey, mustard, cream — pair easily with any ribbon or twine and hold up well during transport. To complete the package, pair the paper with a paper carrier bag with twisted handles for delivery.
Calculating footage: for a standard package (shoes, wine, book), 25 mt is enough for around 20–25 boxes. 40 mt spools are a good deal if you're wrapping more than 30 items at once — typically for bombonière or event decorations.
For complete packaging — ribbons, labels, bags — also check the packaging and gift wrapping section and products by Givi for plates and glasses to match your table settings.
FAQ
What is the difference between Saul Sadoch Perlage and Ecocolor paper?
The Perlage has a pearlescent finish — it reflects light slightly — and is available in cream and grey. TheEcocolor is opaque, made with dyed paper, and has a more natural appearance. Both measure H 0.70 mt × 25 mt.
Are Arpimex rolls suitable for packaging bombonière?
Yes. Arpimex water stone and honeycomb effect papers have sufficient weight to hold ribbons and bows, and the pastel palette (pink, sky blue, green, yellow, ivory) adapts to the most common ceremonies: christening, communion, confirmation and wedding.
What is Polymatt?
It is an opaque polypropylene film (not actual paper): it has a matte-plasticised surface that does not crease like paper and lends itself well to closures with heat-sealed tape or clear tape. The Arpimex roll is available in H 1 mt × 25 mt in pink and sky blue.
