Common Crinkle Questions
How Much Crinkle Shred Do You Need To Fill A Gift Box?
Excellent question that actually depends on a couple of different factors like, how big is your box? What are you putting into the box?
We tapped our expert Product Specialist Jo Anne S. to share her thoughts on the matter.
Jo Anne advises to first separate the layers of crinkle to get maximum volume. A large handful of fluffed up paper is approximately 1 oz. From that point, how much you use will depend on the box size and how full you want the box to be.
She further explains that the best way to figure out how much crinkle paper you need to fill your box is by cubic inches. To figure out cubic inches, simply multiply the lengths of the sides of your box.
Example: Your boxes are 10”x6”x2” . You would come up with 120 cubic inches per box. 1lb of crinkle paper is about 500 cubic inches.
What’s The Difference Between Classic Shred & Crinkle Cut?
The straight edges and flat body of the Classic Shred offers a soft look that resembles a birds nest. The popular accordion design of the Crinkle Cut offers volume and bounce.
Ultimately, both the Classic Shred and Crinkle Cut are great solutions to soft void fill. Use them to provide cushioning to giveaway baskets, subscription gift boxes, and more!
