About this book
Tissue paper is a ubiquitous but surprisingly complex material. Its performance depends on a specific balance of fiber length, basis weight, creping processes, and chemical treatments. Yet most buyers select it by price and color, leading to disappointing results: sheets that tear mid-wrap, inks that bleed on fine garments, or crinkled piles that fail to cushion a fragile item. This handbook replaces guesswork with a systematic, professional-grade understanding of the material.
Reader Reviews
Matthew Anderson
★★★★★I bought this to help standardize the packing process at our retail shop, and it did the trick. The chapter on specifications alone is worth the price - I finally know the difference between 17 and 20 gsm and why it matters. I just wish the section on die-cut shapes and custom branding had a few more illustrations. As it is, it's a solid desk reference for anyone who buys paper in bulk.

★★★★★This is a thorough read, but it occasionally feels like it was written for a packaging engineer rather than a small business owner. The tables for basis weights and burst strength are great, but the chapter on choosing the right paper would benefit from simpler, more direct 'if you do this, buy that' scenarios. The troubleshooting section saved me a headache with ink bleeding, so I'm glad I bought it. Just be ready for a fairly technical tone.

★★★★★I run a small gift-wrapping service and thought I knew everything about tissue paper. This book proved me wrong. The section on crinkle cutting and layering for fragile items has noticeably reduced breakage in our shipments. The business opportunities chapter also gave me a solid idea about private labeling that I'm actively exploring. It's dense, but there's no fluff - every page has something useful.
