Make Your Mark This Summer: Why Print Lord’s Custom Wrapping Paper Turns Every Gift Into a Brand Moment

The Wrapping Is Part of the Gift

There is a moment , just before the paper tears , when a gift says everything about the person who gave it. That moment, small and fleeting as it is, is a brand opportunity. And most businesses are leaving it completely blank.

Print Lord’s custom wrapping paper changes that. Whether you are presenting a corporate gift to a valued client, sending out a seasonal hamper, or wrapping something special for a summer event, your branding deserves to be on every inch of that paper. Not an afterthought. Not a sticker on the side. The whole wrap, yours.

This summer, Print Lord is here to help you make your mark , and it starts before anyone even opens the box.

Why Branded Packaging Matters More Than You Think

In a world of brown boxes and bubble wrap, branded packaging is a statement. It says you thought ahead. It says you care about the detail. And in business, detail is what separates the memorable from the forgettable.

Consider the journey of a gift. It arrives. It is carried. It sits on a desk or a table before it is opened. Every one of those moments is an impression. Generic wrapping paper wastes every single one of them. Custom wrapping paper, printed with your logo, your colours, your design, turns a mundane moment into a marketing moment.

This is not vanity. It is strategy. The businesses that win on brand consistency are the ones that think beyond the product and into the full experience of receiving it. Print Lord has been guarding brand standards for clients for over two decades, and the principle is always the same: every touchpoint counts.

Custom Wrapping Paper for Corporate Gifting

Corporate gifting has had something of a renaissance. Thoughtful, well-presented gifts to clients, partners, and staff have become a genuine relationship-building tool , and rightly so. But if your beautifully chosen gift arrives in paper from a supermarket roll, you have undersold yourself before they have even unwrapped it.

Print Lord’s custom wrapping paper is designed exactly for this use case. Available in A3 and A2 sizes, printed on either 90gsm Premium Smooth White or 100gsm Uncoated paper, it gives your gifting the finish it deserves. Single-sided printing keeps costs sensible while the results look anything but. And at just £31.39 plus VAT, with free delivery and file checking included, there really is no excuse not to.

Four working days from artwork approval to your door. That is a tight, reliable turnaround for something that elevates your brand in the hands of whoever receives it.

The corporate gifting season does not stop in December. Summer client thank-yous, end-of-project gifts, team celebrations, conference giveaways , all of these deserve the same level of care. Print Lord makes it easy to be consistent all year round.

Pride Month and the Power of Personalised Print

June marks the start of Pride Month, and for businesses and organisations who want to show genuine support, personalised print is one of the most tangible ways to do it. A branded wrap in your Pride-edition design or a gift presented in colours and iconography that celebrate inclusivity is not just decoration. It is a message.

Print Lord is not in the business of telling you what to say. But if you have something worth saying, Print Lord will make sure it is printed beautifully, faithfully, and on time. Custom wrapping paper is a simple, affordable way to make a statement that goes beyond a social post , something physical, something held, something remembered.

Print Lord’s Custom Wrapping Paper: The Details

Here is everything you need to know before you order:

Sizes: A3 and A2

Paper options: 90gsm Premium Smooth White or 100gsm Uncoated

Print: Single-sided

Price: £31.39 plus VAT

Delivery: Free

File checking: Included, because Print Lord does not just print what you send , it checks it first

Turnaround: 4 working days

Satisfaction: Guaranteed

The A2 size is the go-to for larger gifts and corporate presentation, while A3 works beautifully for smaller items and repeat-pattern designs that tile across multiple sheets. Both sizes deliver the same quality and the same Print Lord standard.

Artwork Requirements: Getting It Right Before It Prints

Print Lord includes file checking with every order, which means if something is not quite right, you will hear about it before anything goes to press. That said, here is what makes for a smooth, swift job:

Bleed: 3mm all around. This ensures the design runs to the edge of the sheet without any white borders appearing after trimming.

Resolution: 300dpi minimum. Lower resolution artwork will look crisp on screen but soft or pixelated in print. Do not let a great design be let down by the wrong file.

Colour format: CMYK. If you are working in Canva or another RGB-based tool, there may be a colour shift when the file is converted. Print Lord flags these things as standard , but CMYK artwork is always the cleanest starting point.

Not sure if your file is ready? Upload it and let Print Lord take a look. The file checking service exists precisely so that you do not have to be a print expert to get a print-quality result.
