Black Tissue Paper 500mm x 750mm

Our Black Tissue Paper provides a stylish and flexible packaging material for gift wrapping, retail presentation, crafts and general decorative use. Each sheet measures 500mm x 750mm, which equals approximately 19.69 x 29.53 inches.

The generous sheet size allows users to wrap many small and medium-sized products. Alternatively, the tissue can line boxes, bags and presentation packaging. It can also separate lightweight items or add a decorative finishing layer to an order.

Each complete ream contains 480 sheets. Therefore, the pack provides a practical quantity for shops, online retailers, boutiques, gift businesses and other regular users.

The black colour creates a smart, modern appearance. In addition, it works well with contrasting ribbons, labels, stickers and branded packaging.

Black Tissue Paper Specifications

Dimensions are nominal, while imperial conversions are approximate. Small variations in dimensions, colour and finish may occur between production batches.

Using Black Tissue Paper for Wrapping

Black Tissue Paper can wrap many suitable retail products, gifts and accessories. The flexible sheets fold around items without requiring specialist packaging equipment.

To wrap an item:

1. Place one or more sheets on a clean, dry surface.
2. Position the item near the centre of the tissue.
3. Fold the sides over the product.
4. Bring the remaining edges together.
5. Secure the tissue with a label, sticker, ribbon or suitable tape.
6. Place the wrapped item inside its outer bag, box or mailing package.

For greater coverage or a fuller appearance, layer two or more sheets before wrapping. However, tissue paper provides light presentation and surface protection rather than heavy-duty transit protection.

Use bubble wrap, foam, corrugated material or another suitable protective product where the item requires cushioning or impact protection.

Using Black Tissue Paper Flat

The 500mm x 750mm sheets can also be used flat rather than wrapped around a product.

Flat sheets work well for:

• Lining the base of gift boxes
• Covering items before closing a box
• Separating lightweight products
• Creating presentation layers
• Providing a dark background for displays
• Craft and decorative projects
• Product photography
• Covering display tables or small presentation areas
• Adding contrast inside lighter-coloured packaging

Place the sheet on a clean and dry surface before positioning the product. If the tissue has been folded for carriage, unfold it carefully and smooth it flat before use.

Black Tissue Paper for Retail Packaging

Retailers can use Black Tissue Paper to create a more considered and professional unboxing experience.

The black colour suits fashion, jewellery, cosmetics, gifts, accessories and premium retail products. Furthermore, it provides a strong contrast against white, gold, silver and brightly coloured packaging.

Users can fold the tissue around the product, place it inside a carrier bag or use it as a liner inside a presentation box. Adding a branded sticker or ribbon can then complete the presentation.

Although tissue paper improves appearance, it does not replace a suitable outer package. Therefore, use an appropriate box, mailing bag or carrier bag where the product requires protection during handling or delivery.

Black Tissue Paper for Gift Wrapping

The paper can wrap gifts directly or add an inner layer beneath another wrapping material.

First, place the gift on one or more sheets. Next, fold the paper loosely around the item. Finally, secure the tissue using ribbon, a sticker or another suitable closure.

For gift bags, place the wrapped item inside the bag and arrange an additional sheet around the top. Alternatively, gently gather the tissue to create a fuller decorative effect.

Avoid pulling the paper tightly around sharp corners or protruding parts because these areas may puncture or tear the sheet.

Black Tissue Paper for Clothing and Accessories

Fashion retailers and online clothing businesses can use the tissue to wrap garments, scarves, handbags and suitable accessories.

Fold the garment neatly before positioning it on the sheet. Then bring the tissue around the item and secure it with a label or sticker. This presentation can help keep the folded product together while creating a more polished appearance.

The tissue may also help reduce light surface rubbing between suitable items. However, it does not provide waterproof protection or cushioning against impact.

Make sure clothing and accessories are clean and completely dry before wrapping them.

Lining Boxes with Black Tissue Paper

Black Tissue Paper can line suitable gift boxes, postal boxes and presentation cartons.

Place a sheet inside the box and allow the edges to extend over the sides. Next, add the product and fold the remaining tissue across the top. This method creates a layered presentation when the customer opens the box.

For smaller boxes, cut or fold the sheet to fit. For larger boxes, overlap multiple sheets. Allow enough material to cover the base, sides and top of the product where required.

Tissue paper provides a decorative liner. Therefore, add suitable cushioning if the contents are fragile, heavy or likely to move during transport.

Layering Black Tissue Paper

Users can layer several sheets to create greater opacity, fuller presentation or additional separation between suitable lightweight products.

Place the sheets directly on top of each other for a uniform appearance. Alternatively, offset the edges to create a decorative layered effect.

Layering may provide slightly more surface protection. However, it will not turn tissue paper into protective cushioning. Fragile products still require packaging designed to absorb impact and restrict movement.

Cutting and Folding Black Tissue Paper

The pre-cut sheets measure 500mm x 750mm, or approximately 19.69 x 29.53 inches. Therefore, users can work with the complete sheet or divide it into smaller sections.

Measure the required size before cutting. Then place the sheet on a clean surface and use suitable scissors or another appropriate cutting tool.

Fold the tissue gently and avoid repeatedly pressing the same fold unless a strong crease is required. Tissue paper may tear if pulled sharply or folded around pointed objects.

Offcuts may remain useful for small boxes, craft projects or decorative finishing.

Black Tissue Paper Folded for Carriage

To make the package easier to handle and transport, the Black Tissue Paper may be folded in half for carriage.

Consequently, the delivered pack may have a fold line across the sheets. This does not change the full sheet size of 500mm x 750mm, or approximately 19.69 x 29.53 inches.

After delivery:

1. Remove the tissue from its outer packaging carefully.
2. Unfold the sheets on a clean and dry surface.
3. Smooth the paper gently by hand.
4. Allow the sheets to rest flat before use where practical.
5. Avoid using heat, steam or moisture to remove the fold.

A visible fold or crease may remain after flattening. Therefore, consider this carriage format before ordering if the application requires completely crease-free sheets.

Handling Black Tissue Paper

Handle the sheets with clean and dry hands. Moisture, oils, dirt or residue may mark the surface and affect the finished presentation.

Lift the tissue carefully from the pack rather than pulling it sharply. Additionally, support larger sections while moving them because the flexible paper may fold or tear.

Keep drinks, cleaning products and other liquids away from the work area. If a sheet becomes wet or heavily marked, replace it before wrapping the product.

Black Tissue Paper Colour Considerations

Black provides a strong and versatile presentation colour. However, the exact shade and finish may vary slightly between manufacturing batches.

Photography, lighting and screen settings can also affect how the colour appears online. Therefore, the physical paper may not match the shade displayed on every device.

Colourfastness has not been confirmed for wet or demanding applications. Consequently, keep the tissue dry and test it before prolonged contact with pale, delicate or high-value surfaces.

Do not use wet tissue against clothing, textiles or other items where colour transfer could cause damage.

Surface Protection

Tissue paper can help reduce light dust, handling marks and surface rubbing during presentation and packing.

However, it does not provide substantial resistance against:

• Heavy impact
• Crushing
• Sharp edges
• Moisture
• Punctures
• Abrasion during demanding transport
• Movement inside oversized cartons
• Heavy or irregularly shaped products

For delicate or valuable goods, combine the tissue with suitable protective packaging and a correctly sized outer container.

Black Tissue Paper for Crafts

The flexible sheets also suit many decorative and craft projects. Users can cut, fold, gather or gently crumple the paper to create different effects.

Possible craft uses include:

• Paper flowers
• Pom-poms
• Collage work
• Decorative displays
• Event decorations
• Table presentation
• Paper layering
• Costume and prop making
• Seasonal decorations
• Classroom art projects

Adult supervision may be required when children use scissors, adhesives or other craft tools.

Moisture and Water Limitations

The tissue paper is not waterproof. Contact with water or moisture may weaken the sheet, cause tearing or affect the black colour.

Therefore, keep the pack in a dry location and do not use it as the sole protection against rain, spills or condensation.

Where moisture protection matters, place the wrapped item inside a suitable waterproof or water-resistant outer package.

Black Tissue Paper Storage

Store the Black Tissue Paper in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture, heat and strong odours.

Keep the ream supported on a flat surface where possible. In addition, protect the edges from crushing, tearing and accidental contact.

Retain the outer packaging until the tissue is required. This helps limit dust, dirt and unnecessary handling.

If the paper arrives folded for carriage, it can remain folded for storage. Alternatively, unfold and store it flat where sufficient space is available.

Important Limitations

This tissue paper provides decorative wrapping and light surface protection. However, it is not intended to replace specialist protective packaging.

Do not rely on it as:

• Impact cushioning
• A waterproof covering
• A load-bearing packaging material
• A puncture-resistant wrap
• A protective barrier for sharp objects
• A certified archival paper
• A certified anti-tarnish paper
• A certified food-contact material
• A guaranteed colourfast wrap
• A replacement for an outer shipping container

Assess the product, handling conditions and delivery method before choosing the complete packaging arrangement.
