What to Wrap

If you’ve ever been on a failed trip to buy a gift for your valentine or have opened your gift to find that it is somehow damaged or broken, you probably have an idea of what not to wrap. Whatever you’re buying needs to be packed properly so it doesn’t break during transport. Here are some items that should never be wrapped without protection: fragile objects (e.g., glass), potted plants, and anything liquidy or sticky. Packaging tape also works well for wrapping gifts with sensitive surfaces like leather, rubber and plastic; these materials will do just fine as long as they aren’t in direct contact with any liquids. Just remember when packing tape touches other surfaces like paper or clothing, it can leave behind an adhesive residue that can damage whatever is underneath. If you don’t want to get your package dirty or lose that important piece of clothing underneath all those layers of tape—be sure to use wrapping paper instead! Packing paper adds extra cushioning between multiple layers which helps protect against any sort of damage from occurring during shipping.

What kind of tape do you need?

There are a few different options, each with its own set of pros and cons. Different types of tape include clear OPP tape, scotch tape, packing cellophane tape, and fragile tape. Which one is best for your gifts? That depends on whether you want to keep them nice and clean or if you are okay with reusing items or giving things that will start to look worn after a while. It also depends on how fragile they are and how much time you have.

1) Clear OPP Tapes

Adhesives are really important and they help us keep things intact. One of them is Clear OPP Tapes. It is clear in color so you can see what is inside of it and it will help you keep your valentine’s gifts well protected. It also looks nice on gifts so it does not ruin its beauty. This packing tape works for pretty much any gift that you want to give to someone special or something that needs extra protection.

2) Scotch Tape

Taping your gifts well before shipping will help ensure their safe arrival. Place a piece of scotch tape on both sides of your package lengthwise so that when you fold and seal it, there’s double protection along each side. If you’re mailing something delicate, adding three pieces to each side will make it virtually unbreakable. This trick also works with twine or ribbon: Wrap a piece of scotch tape around them as a glue before folding and sealing; that way you can adjust their placement until everything looks perfect.

3) Cellophane Tape

Have you ever received a bouquet of flowers that looked like it had been trampled by dinosaurs? Well, good news: It’s entirely possible to prevent these horrific flower massacres from ever happening again. Cellophane tape is your best friend. Wrap up your Valentine’s Day gift in a layer or two of cellophane tape, and not only will it be harder for bugs to get in there, but raindrops won’t ruin it either.

4) Fragile Tape

For protecting breakable objects, it’s best to go with a type of tape that was designed specifically for that purpose. Fragile tapes are made from very thin materials (less than one-sixteenth of an inch) and have a coating that prevents abrasion damage. There are two types available: masking tape and mailing/pouch tapes. Both come in both paper and cloth versions, and you can even buy perforated versions if you need to tear them by hand. Fragile tapes can be used for just about anything, but they’re particularly popular for protecting valentines cards or wrapping fine crystal or china.

Additional tips on wrapping gifts correctly

Choose a sturdy paper to wrap your gift. It should have a bit of weight to it, but not be too thick or difficult to cut through. Wrapping paper often comes in 3-foot-wide rolls, which can be cut down for smaller packages. If you’re having trouble finding paper that matches your gift, use clear shipping tape to keep it in place instead—the transparent nature of tape will allow the inside of your box or bag show through without disturbing its contents.
