Key points

Measure the product before choosing packaging.
Compare the actual pack size and unit price.
Choose a format that limits empty space without compressing the product.
Keep a short range of recurring formats to simplify reordering.

What should you choose?

Tissue paper is used to wrap, separate, lightly protect and improve presentation. The right choice mainly depends on the box or bag size, the number of sheets needed and the colour.

  1. Start with the use case: retail presentation, gifting, shipping or storage.
  2. Then choose the right packaging family: box, bag or tissue paper.
  3. Finish with dimensions, colour and the number of packs required.

Sizes and formats

When comparing two formats, use useful internal dimensions whenever they are known. Add only the clearance needed for inserts or tissue paper. If variants exist, confirm the exact format before adding to cart.

B2B buying advice

In B2B purchasing, carton price alone can be misleading. Compare unit price, units per pack, quantity tiers and the storage space required. A lower unit price is useful only if the volume will actually be used.

Pre-order checklist

  • Product dimensions measured
  • Format chosen with reasonable clearance
  • Units per pack checked
  • Available colours verified
  • Total units and number of packs calculated

Frequently asked questions

Can I order small quantities?

Yes. Many Parsell references are intended for small B2B purchases. The exact pack size depends on the selected variant.

How should I compare two products?

Compare useful dimensions, units per pack, unit price and intended use.

Do colours vary by size?

Yes. Some colour and size combinations only exist for certain formats. Product pages filter the combinations that actually exist.

How can I get a lower price?

B2B volume tiers reduce the price per pack as the number of packs increases.
