What size cellophane is best for a gift basket?
For medium and large gift baskets, 31.5-inch-wide cellophane is the practical choice, because the wrap has to pass under the basket and rise above the contents on every side. Small baskets and single items can use a 16-inch roll. Measure the basket first: width plus twice the total height plus about 8 inches to gather.
How much cellophane do I need for a gift basket?
Measure the basket's width, depth, and total height to the top of the tallest item. Each direction needs about the width or depth plus twice the height plus 8 inches to gather. A basket 12 inches wide, 8 inches deep, and 7 inches tall needs about 34 by 30 inches, one piece of the 31.5-inch roll.
How do you wrap a gift basket with cellophane?
Arrange the basket, cut a piece of cellophane, and unfold it to full width. Set the basket in the center, bring the sides up, and gather them a few inches above the tallest item. Secure the gather with a twist tie or rubber band, tie ribbon over it, and fluff the top.
How wide is the 31.5-inch roll when opened?
The Fiesta Wraps clear cellophane roll opens to 31.5 inches wide. It is folded in half lengthwise and wound as a compact roll, so the package measures about 16 inches across. The 31.5-inch dimension refers to the opened material, and every piece you cut unfolds to that full width.
How long is the Fiesta Wraps cellophane roll?
The Fiesta Wraps clear cellophane roll for gift baskets is 110 feet long and 31.5 inches wide when opened. A 220-foot version with the same width is available for higher-volume wrapping, and 16-inch clear rolls come in 110-foot and 220-foot lengths.
Can I use cellophane for large gift baskets?
Yes. Cellophane works for large gift baskets as long as each piece is big enough to rise above the tallest item. The 31.5-inch roll covers many large baskets in one piece because you can cut it to any length. For very wide baskets, lay two pieces in a cross and set the basket where they overlap.
What is the difference between the 31.5 × 110 ft and 31.5 × 220 ft rolls?
Both Fiesta Wraps clear rolls are 31.5 inches wide when opened and come folded in half to 16 inches, so they wrap the same size baskets. The 220-foot roll simply has twice the length of the 110-foot roll, which suits higher-volume basket making for events, fundraisers, and small businesses.
