Customized Holiday Wrapping Paper: The Celeb Trend For Everyone

Over the past few years, there's been an uptrend of not only personalized gifting but customized gift wrapping specifically over the holiday period. Known for their extravagant lifestyles, the Kardashian-Jenner family have made headlines with their customized holiday gift wrapping. In true Kardashian fashion, in 2019, Kim pushed the boundaries by using a creamy velvet fabric as gift wrapping. In 2020, the rest of the family joined in on this trend, with Kourtney opting for a 60s retro printed paper and Kris using leopard print paper.

But unlike other celebrity trends — think body sculpting, million-dollar kids birthday parties, and unthinkable vacations — customized holiday wrapping paper is obtainable to everyone. No matter who you are, you can have your Christmas tree looking Instagram-ready with gifts wrapped in your very own holiday wrapping paper. It is truly a beautiful trend that will bring the spirit of the festive season to your home or office space. Yes, you can also customize wrapping paper for your business, just like Kylie Jenner did in 2016 for her company Kylie Cosmetics.

With the festive season quickly approaching, now is the time to start planning your holiday wrapping paper. Whether you opt for a cheerful, artsy, or fun design, it's entirely up to you, so let your personality or brand identity shine through.

In this blog post, we help you get inspired and show you alternative ways to use your customized holiday wrapping.

Get Inspired

Creating your own customized wrapping paper should be something creative, unique, and personal. To help you get inspired, here are a few awesome ideas:

Get The Kids Involved: Since you're customizing your wrapping paper, why not get your kids to help out? Get them to draw a picture of Santa, Rudolph, or a Christmas tree that can be added to the wrapping paper. Or allow them to be part of the design process. We are sure that the entire family will love it!

Add Something The Represents You: Whether it is your family's name, an illustration of your pets, or your favorite thing about the holiday season, adding something that represents you or your family will make your wrapping paper truly special. You could add a little holiday easter egg that only those who truly know you will get. 

Incorporate The Natural Paper: Our holiday wrapping papers come in four kraft paper types: ivory, brown, beige, and white. Our kraft collection is 100% recycled, giving it a natural, fibrous appearance and a slightly textured feel. Incorporating the paper's texture and color into your design is something worth exploring.

Unlike other celebrity trends, customized holiday wrapping paper is obtainable to everyone. No matter who you are, you can have your Christmas tree looking Instagram-ready with gifts wrapped in your very own holiday wrapping paper. 

Not Just Wrapping Gifts

Customized holiday wrapping paper can double up and become so much more. Whether you use it at home or at work, here are other creative ways to use your customized holiday wrapping paper besides wrapping gifts:

Window Covers: If you have a brick-and-mortar business, you can use your holiday wrapping paper to line your store's windows. Usually used when renovating or construction to 'cover up the mess' or to promote special deals or sales, customized wrapping paper can also be used to spread some Christmas cheer. Be sure to include your brand logo, a festive message, or essential must-know information.

Festive Packaging: Adding a holiday-themed element, especially over Christmas, will resonate with your customer and give them that festive feeling. Keep it subtle by adding a sheet of your customized wrapping paper inside their package or gift wrapping the box itself.

Table Liners: Instead of using linen tablecloths for the next family barbecue or at your restaurant or cafe, add festive cheer with customized holiday wrapping paper. The holiday period is often a busy time for eateries and at many homes, so opt for the economical wrapping paper choice that can be easily be switched out after the table is used. We suggest opting for light ivory and white Kraft paper on tables with a simple festive design.

Don't Know What To Choose?

Whether it is your first time ordering custom wrapping paper or you just don't know what to choose, opt for the popular options.

White Kraft & Full Color: Over the past few seasons, our customers have opted for white kraft paper for their wrapping paper. White kraft paper is made for full-color printing so you can use the entire color wheel when designing your custom wrapping. No matter how heavy or light the coverage or how complex, white kraft works with all designs.

Brown Kraft & Black Ink: Another eye-catching option is brown kraft paper with black ink. Even though simple, the combination beautifully showcases the natural kraft stock and somehow captures the essence of the holiday season.

Using this combination, designer ​​Olivia Lan was able to create an uncomplicated yet magical festive season wrapping paper with brown kraft and black ink.

Beige & Ivory Kraft: Being lighter than brown, but darker than white, beige and ivory is the perfect choice for both color and black. It is a great option if you’re looking to avoid the starkness of white kraft, but still want to use color in wrapping paper design.

SPECIALIZED, a designer and manufacturer of premium bicycles, used our ivory kraft to bring its customized holiday wrapping to life with a colorful design.
