Printing your own custom printed wrapping paper is a fun (and affordable) project with FinerWorks. People have asked us about this for some time, and as a result, we made this available for ordering. There are many good reasons why artists are interested in printing their wrapping paper. And it can be for more than just wrapping gifts. Let’s take a look at some of these.
Packaging / Branding
Use your own artwork or branding on wrapping paper to make your packaging stand out and feel more “premium.” Include patterns or illustrations that reflect your artistic style—turn the wrapping into an extension of your brand identity. You can also use it as a branded inner wrap inside mailers or boxes to enhance the unboxing experience. One artist I know releases limited-edition seasonal wrapping paper featuring her art for holiday shoppers.
Wrap your thank-you notes, discount codes, or freebies in branded wrapping paper—it feels special and keeps your branding top-of-mind.
Cut sheets down into envelope liners, product tags, or note cards to keep your branding consistent and artistic.
Another artist we know indicated she plans to simply use it, not so much for selling or branding, but simply as a backdrop for Etsy or Instagram photos.
Selling as a Product
Offer your custom wrapping paper as a standalone product—perfect for fans of your art who want to wrap gifts stylishly. Alternatively, if you sell online and handle the shipping yourself, add a “gift wrap this item” option at checkout using your custom paper to generate extra income.
You can also pair your wrapping paper with matching prints, cards, or stickers for themed gift sets. And of course, at in-person events, offer your custom wrap as a value-add, especially around holidays.
