One sheet folded round a garment makes a £15 shirt look like it left a boutique. A pack of 100 sheets lasts a small shop a month or two. Past 50 clothing orders a week, move to bulk packs of several hundred sheets. ## Acid-free, sheet size and colourfastness Acid-free tissue avoids the yellowing and transfer that low-grade tissue can leave on white cotton and silk over time. That protects vintage pieces and anything a buyer may store in the paper. Sheets around 50 x 75 cm wrap a folded jumper or shirt in one piece; smaller sheets suit jewellery and beauty. Coloured tissue can bleed dye onto clothing if a parcel gets damp, so confirm it is colourfast before you buy. ## Wrapping a garment Fold the garment to fit the mailing bag first. Lay it on one sheet, fold the long sides over, then fold the ends and close the parcel with a thank-you sticker. Slide the wrapped garment into a grey mailing bag or a Recyclable paper mailing bags, 100 pack bag. The tissue adds a few grams, which rarely moves a parcel into a heavier postage band, but weigh borderline orders. Store the tissue flat in a drawer or a shallow box under the table. A crumpled sheet looks second-hand when the buyer pulls it out. ## Dust bags and cushioning for other items For handbags and leather goods, Cotton dust bags, 10 pack give more protection and the buyer keeps them. Use tissue inside the bag to hold its shape. On breakables, tissue adds presentation and no protection. Wrap with Honeycomb paper wrap, 100 m roll or Bubble wrap, 500 mm x 100 m first, then finish with a sheet of tissue on top if you want the neat reveal. ## Pence per wrapped parcel At £7 to £11 for 100 sheets, each sheet costs around 7p to 11p. Add a sticker and the presentation comes in well under 20p per order. Buyers on Vinted and Depop often mention packaging in reviews, and a sheet of tissue is one of the few spends that shows up directly in feedback. ## Common mistakes - Coloured tissue on white clothes can transfer dye in a damp parcel. Use white or colourfast tissue. - Close the wrap with a sticker. Parcel tape looks rough and tears the paper. - Loose sheets crease in a pile; a flat drawer or box keeps them presentable. - Tissue alone gives a fragile item no cushioning, so put bubble wrap or honeycomb paper underneath. - Weigh a borderline parcel after wrapping, since the extra grams can push it into a higher band. ## Guides - [Small business packaging ideas that look professional](https://sellersetups.com/guides/look-professional): Thank-you cards, stickers, a QR code and tidy mailers: small touches that make a home-packed parcel look like it came from a real shop. - [Reseller storage ideas: organise 300 vintage items](https://sellersetups.com/guides/organise-300-vintage-items): A numbering system, two rails and a shelf that let you find any sold vintage piece in under a minute, even at 300 items. - [How to package clothes for Vinted](https://sellersetups.com/guides/package-clothes-vinted): Fold, wrap and bag a Vinted clothing sale so it arrives clean and uncreased, using a mailing bag sized to the garment rather than a reused box. - [Vinted bundles: packing and postage](https://sellersetups.com/guides/vinted-bundle-postage): Packing a Vinted bundle of vintage clothes into one parcel: weighing before you accept, folding to fit, and keeping the buyer’s chosen carrier happy. ## Questions ### Is acid-free tissue worth it? For vintage, white and delicate fabrics, yes. Acid-free paper avoids the yellowing that lower-grade tissue can leave over time. ### How many sheets per order? One sheet usually wraps a folded garment. Bulky knits may need two. ### Does tissue add to postage? A sheet weighs a few grams. Weigh the parcel if you are close to a band limit. ### Can I use tissue for jewellery? Yes, as a wrap inside a box or pouch. Set the piece in a foam-lined box so it cannot move. ### White or coloured tissue? White suits any item and avoids dye transfer. Colourfast coloured tissue can match your shop's look.
