Gift & Packaging Calculators

Presentation is everything when selling handmade products in the UK, whether you are packaging orders for Etsy customers or preparing gift hampers for Christmas craft fairs. Buying the right amount of wrapping materials saves money and reduces waste — something increasingly important to eco-conscious UK buyers. Our gift wrap calculator tells you exactly how much wrapping paper you need for any box dimension in centimetres, while the ribbon length calculator works out precisely how much ribbon you need for bows and finishing touches.

Many UK craft sellers make their own gift boxes from card or corrugated board, which is more cost-effective than buying pre-made boxes in small quantities. The gift box calculator helps you work out the flat sheet dimensions needed to construct boxes to your exact size, including tab and fold allowances. For softer items like knitwear or bath products, the tissue paper calculator and gift bag size calculator help you choose the right packaging without over-ordering. These tools are especially useful when you are preparing for high-volume seasonal events like Christmas markets or Mother's Day.

Hamper building has become a popular craft business in the UK, particularly around Christmas and Easter. Our hamper size calculator helps you estimate the basket or box size needed for your selection of products, so everything fits neatly without looking sparse or overcrowded. Combined with the bow size calculator for finishing touches and the gift tag calculator for cutting tags efficiently from card sheets, these tools help you streamline your packaging workflow and keep material costs under control.
