Care & Application Precautions

• Moisture: While sturdy, kraft paper is not waterproof; for maximum protection, it is recommended to add a layer of Jiffy Transparent Plastic over the paper.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is it better than store-bought wrapping paper? Yes, kraft paper is significantly thicker and more durable than standard decorative wrapping paper, making it better for heavy-duty protection.
• How many books can I cover? One 5-metre roll can typically cover 8 to 10 standard A4 school textbooks, depending on the thickness of the spine.
• Can I print on it? Due to its roll format and thickness, it is best suited for handwriting or stamping rather than passing through a standard home printer.
