What material are your Book Wraps made from?

All of our wraps are made from strong corrugated cardboard that is 100% recyclable. The material is sourced from responsibly managed forests and produced in the UK.

What features make Book Wraps a good choice?

• Protective reinforced edges to absorb bumps and knocks
• Adjustable depth so one wrap can cover multiple product sizes
• Fast peel & seal strip with tear-open feature for customer convenience

Are Book Wraps stronger than mailer bags or padded envelopes?

Yes. The rigid corrugated board resists bending and crushing, offering far greater protection than poly mailers or padded envelopes, especially for books and printed media.

Are your Book Wraps eco-friendly?

Yes. They are 100% recyclable, plastic-free, and manufactured in the UK with FSC® certified materials. Using cardboard packaging also helps reduce single-use plastic in your supply chain.

How are Book Wraps sealed?

Every wrap includes a high-strength peel & seal strip. Simply fold around your item, press down the adhesive, and the package is ready to send—no additional tape required. A tear strip makes them easy for the recipient to open.

Which postage categories do they fit?

Many of our sizes are designed to fall within Royal Mail’s Large Letter and Small Parcel tariffs, helping keep postage costs under control while offering excellent protection.

What products can I ship in Book Wraps?

They are ideal for paperback and hardback books, comics, graphic novels, catalogues, magazines, and vinyl records. Some businesses also use them for board games, calendars, and other flat but delicate items.

Can they help me save on shipping costs?

Absolutely. Their design reduces product damage and returns, improves packing speed, and keeps parcel weights down. Optimised sizing means you aren’t paying for excess packaging.

Do you offer printed or branded Book Wraps?

Yes. Custom print options are available to showcase your brand with minimum order quantities starting from 1 pallet. Speak to our team for a bespoke quotation.

Are your Book Wraps tested for strength?

Yes, our wraps are compression-tested to ensure they can withstand the stresses of courier networks and postal systems without collapsing or tearing.

How should I store Book Wraps?

We recommend keeping them flat and in a dry environment to maintain board strength. They are delivered flat-packed for space-efficient storage.

Do you offer samples?

Yes, sample packs are available to order online so you can test the fit before committing to bulk quantities.

What are your lead times for bulk orders?

Stock sizes are available for next-day delivery. Custom printed or bespoke sizes typically carry a lead time of 3–4 weeks depending on volume and print complexity.
