Shredded Paper

About

Shredded paper is the quiet hero of beautiful gifting, the soft, tactile layer that turns a simple box into something worth opening. For a wedding hamper, a fragile keepsake, or a gift presentation people remember, shredded paper adds colour, cushioning, and a sense of occasion that tissue alone cannot. What is shredded paper? Our shredded paper arrives in convenient bales of paper strips, ready to loosen and fluff into your chosen vessel. Available in a curated palette of colours (from deep burgundy and rich red to sky blue, lime green, and warm chocolate) each option brings its own mood to a gift. Most of our range uses SizzlePak, a trusted packaging format, with consistent strip length, easy handling, and good fill coverage for anything from a small favour box to a full-sized hamper basket. How to choose the right shredded paper Think about the visual story you want to create before reaching for a colour. Warm tones (burgundy, deep red, chocolate) suit autumnal hampers, artisan food gifts, and occasions with a rich, celebratory feel. Cool tones like sky blue bring a light, fresh energy to baby gifts, spring celebrations, or nautical-themed presentations. Lime green reads as natural and bright, pairing beautifully with botanical products, handmade cosmetics, and slow-living gift sets. Weight matters too. A 0.5 kg bale is ideal for filling smaller boxes, favour bags, or lining a single-layer gift tray. The 1 kg bales handle most standard hamper baskets and medium gift boxes with ease. When you're dressing a large decorative hamper or filling a deep wicker basket, the 5 kg bale offers the best value and ensures you have enough to build generous, impressive layers without running short halfway through. Ways to use shredded paper The most common use is as hamper filler: layer the paper into the base of a basket before arranging products on top, so each item sits slightly into the cushioning and the presentation looks full rather than bare.
