Greeting Card Dimensions: A Simple Guide to Standard Card Sizes
6 September 2026
Picking the right greeting card size is one of those things that seems simple until you actually start designing one.
Easily make every gift unique with personalised wrapping paper from The Printed Packaging UK. Upload your favourite photo, name or company logo, and we will print it on premium 70–120 GSM paper in repeating patterns, transforming ordinary gift wrap into something made just for the recipient. Perfect for birthdays, weddings, and corporate gifts — and a great match for our white popcorn boxes and pink popcorn boxes when planning a themed party. Custom rolls can be ordered from a single roll to full wholesale quantities with widths from 50cm to 100 cm wide. Free digital proof, fast turnaround 4– 8 days, and free UK delivery within the UK.
A gift wrapped in ordinary paper looks like every other gift under the tree. A gift wrapped in personalised wrapping paper looks like it was made for one person only, and that feeling starts when someone opens the box, long before the ribbon comes off. At The Printed Packaging UK, we can print your own photos, names, and logos onto premium wrapping paper rolls, making something so simple as gift wrap part of the celebration itself.
We work with individuals ordering a single roll for a birthday or anniversary, or businesses ordering bulk rolls for corporate hampers, retail packaging, or seasonal campaigns. We check our designs and print quality, whether one roll or a thousand.
Personalised wrapping paper is not something you buy off the shelf. It’s printed with artwork you provide, whether that be a photograph, a name, a short message, or your company logo, and it’s made specifically for your order – rather than pre-made in a stock pattern. Because the design is yours, the finished item has an edge that generic wrapping paper simply cannot compete with. This makes it perfect for situations where packaging needs to say something about the person who received the gift, not just show off the box.
The biggest reason people choose personalised wrapping paper is the reaction it provokes before the present is even opened. Your name, face, or shared memory printed on the wrapped paper causes a bond that a plain roll of paper from a shop cannot. For businesses, the same applies. Having your logo printed on the wrapped gift or the package for your product instantly makes your business appear when a customer opens a package, and at far lower costs than advertising in general.
There is also the practical side of it too. Although most wrapping paper gets tossed out in minutes, personalised paper, such as photo print from a birthday, wedding, or family celebration, gets cherished as a small keepsake. Our paper can be printed on single-roll or in bulk, so we can supply you with one roll for a birthday present, or a thousand metres for a Christmas campaign.
As the most personal wrapping paper, photo wrapping paper lets you choose any picture, whether it’s a family portrait, a childhood photo or just a silly close-up, and we print it as a repeating pattern across the sheet using high-resolution printing to make sure the colours and details are always bright and clear on every fold. This wrapping paper is very popular for holidays and special birthdays, especially when the image holds meaning.
To provide a more subtle presentation, we offer wraps with a name woven into a pattern. It can be one name for the wrapping paper of one gift, a list of names for a family gift-wrapping session, or a number such as 18, 21, 30, 40, 50, or 60 for a birthday roll. It sounds as thoughtful as a full photo print without being as bold. This wrap is ideal for a more formal or corporate gifting occasion.
Business clients who would like their logo on the paper can email us their logo file with Pantone or CMYK colour codes, and we will match the colours as closely as possible while printing and repeat your logo throughout the roll in a layout that fits your brand guidelines. This is a great option for retail packaging, subscription boxes, or corporate client gifts. If none of these are suitable for you, our design team can also create a custom pattern from scratch or alter an existing pattern.
Most of our personalised wrapping paper orders come from one of a handful of common occasions, but we do not limit ourselves to these. Birthdays are our most common order, with names and age or a number of years, and sometimes a photo of your child for that extra special touch. Weddings and anniversaries will usually have their names and date printed on the paper, along with a simple monogram design. At Christmas and other holidays, customers often request a family photo and a festive pattern.
On the business side, corporate gifting is one of the most common uses, with the company logo and brand colours on every roll sent to customers. Baby showers are another common use, with the baby’s name and nursery theme. Retailers and online stores also include personalised wrapping paper in their boxes to add branding so that the logo pops up when the customer opens their parcel.
We print on 70 to 120gsm gift wrap paper, matte or satin, offset printed for large orders or digitally printed for shorter personal orders, using full CMYK colour. Roll widths are 50cm, 70cm and 100cm, special widths available on request, and rolls are 3m and 5m wide for personal orders or 20m and over for wholesale orders.
One roll is the minimum order. Wholesale pricing for a 20m roll is on offer from this point and the cost per metre increases with the size of the order. Turnaround is usually 4 to 8 working days, but we can also do rush orders for tight deadlines. Every order comes with a digital proof for you to check your design and repeat pattern before any goes to press. Delivery is free within the UK.
We allow you to select whether you want individual rolls or multi-roll packs or wholesale quantities. Simply upload the photo, logo, name or message you would like personalised on the wrap paper. We will then create a digital proof showing the design as it runs across the roll so you know exactly what you have approved before printing begins. When we have your design approved, we print, cut, roll, and dispatch the order, no design skills needed from you as we handle spacing and colour matching on our end.
Wholesale pricing for retailers, corporate gifting teams and event planners who require a bulk order. It’s often not much cheaper per metre when compared with a single roll, and without losing any print quality. As with individual orders, bulk orders go through the same quality control process as individual orders, only on a larger scale. If you need a wholesale quote, we can custom price it for you based on your required roll length, width, and design complexity. Read more: custom rigid boxes with foam inserts
