Crinkle paper for gift boxes and hampers
For a gift box or hamper that should look full and hold its products in place, use crinkle paper: paper cut into thin zig-zag strands that spring up instead of lying flat. PackSmith sells Crinkle Paper Shred Filler in blue, green, yellow, red, white, black, brown and mixed colours, in packs of 500 g and 1 kg, with a 50 kg bulk option on the listing. Prices on every listing include 18% GST, delivery is free across India and orders dispatch in 1 to 2 working days.
How much crinkle paper do you need?
It depends on your box, your products and your hand, so weigh it. Fill a bowl, weigh it, build one hamper from the bowl and weigh the bowl again. The difference is your fill per hamper. Do this for three hampers and take the average. Then:
- 30 g per hamper: about 16 hampers from 500 g, about 33 from 1 kg.
- 50 g per hamper: about 10 from 500 g, 20 from 1 kg.
- 100 g per hamper: about 5 from 500 g, 10 from 1 kg.
Add about 10% for spills and the loose bits at the bottom of the pack.
How to choose a colour and pack
- Take 1 kg of your main colour for a busy season, and 500 g of a colour you need for one festival or one client.
- Brown and white suit everyday orders. Red, yellow and mixed colours suit Diwali, Rakhi and wedding hampers.
- Hamper makers and gift shops that pack in volume can choose the 50 kg option.
Crinkle paper is a filler, not a wrap
Crinkle paper makes a soft bed and fills gaps, but it does not wrap a glass jar. Wrap breakables first in honeycomb paper, which also comes in colours or kraft paper bubble wrap sheets, then bed them in crinkle. For plain cartons where looks do not matter, void fill paper sheets cost less per box. Our Diwali gift hamper packing guide walks through a full hamper, step by step.
PackSmith is run by Jagannath Polymers Pvt Ltd (JPPL), Jaipur, making packaging since 1997, ISO 9001:2015, exporting to 20+ countries. We sell this crinkle paper and pack it for small sellers and bulk buyers alike.

Where can I buy crinkle paper online in India?
On packsmith.in, in 8 colours and packs of 500 g, 1 kg or 50 kg. The listing shows the price incl. 18% GST, and delivery is free across India.
Is crinkle paper sold on a roll?
No. Crinkle paper is sold loose, by weight. If you want paper on a roll for wrapping, use our 390 mm honeycomb paper roll.
How much crinkle paper do I need for one hamper?
Usually 30 to 100 g, depending on the box. Weigh the fill for three hampers, take the average, and add about 10% for spills.
Is crinkle paper the same as shredded paper?
It is a kind of shredded paper, cut in a zig-zag so the strands spring up and fill more space than flat shreds.
Can crinkle paper protect glass items?
Not on its own. Wrap glass in honeycomb paper or kraft bubble sheets first, then use crinkle paper to fill the box and hold the items still.
