One sheet folded around a garment makes a $20 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 colorfastness Acid-free tissue avoids the yellowing and transfer that cheap 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 20 × 30 in wrap a folded sweater or shirt in one piece; smaller sheets suit jewelry and beauty. For color, buy tissue sold as colorfast. ## Wrapping a garment Fold the garment to fit the mailer first. Lay it on one sheet, fold the long sides over, then fold the ends and close the bundle with a thank-you sticker. Slide the wrapped garment into a poly or paper mailer. Keep a stack of sheets flat under the table, within reach of the mailers. ## Dust bags and cushioning for other items For handbags and leather goods, a cotton dust bag protects more, and the buyer keeps it. Use tissue inside the bag to hold its shape. Cushion breakables with honeycomb paper or bubble wrap first, then lay a sheet of tissue on top for the reveal. ## Cents per wrapped package At $10 to $16 for 100 sheets, each sheet costs around 10 to 16 cents. Add a sticker and the presentation comes in under 20 cents per order. On Poshmark and Depop, packaging is one of the few things buyers can comment on besides the item, and tissue is the cheapest way to get it right. ## Common mistakes - Colored tissue on white clothes can transfer dye in a damp package. Use white or colorfast tissue. - Close the wrap with a sticker. Packing 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 package after wrapping, since the extra fraction of an ounce can push it into a higher price step. ## Guides - [Reseller storage ideas: organize 300 vintage items](https://sellersetups.com/us/guides/organise-300-vintage-items): A numbering system, two racks and a shelf that let you find any sold vintage piece in under a minute, even at 300 items. - [How to sell on Vestiaire Collective in the US](https://sellersetups.com/us/guides/sell-on-vestiaire-collective): Getting a designer piece approved, pricing it in dollars with room for offers, and shipping it to Vestiaire's authentication team or the buyer. ## Questions ### Can I reuse tissue from packages I receive? Only sheets that are flat and clean. A crumpled sheet looks secondhand the moment the buyer pulls it out. ### 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 fraction of an ounce, which only matters on a package already at the edge of a price step. ### Can I use tissue for jewelry? Yes, as a wrap inside a box or pouch. Set the piece in a foam-lined box so it cannot move. ### White or colored tissue? White works with everything. A single shop color, used every time, makes your packages recognizable.
