How to Choose Tissue Paper Sheets
- Start with the packed item, not the product alone. Folded apparel, boxed gifts, cosmetics, and accessories need different sheet coverage.
- Test the sheet around your folded or stacked item. Choose enough coverage for the intended wrap or presentation without excess bunching; there is no single size that fits every packing job.
- Use 24 x 36 in when the sheet needs to wrap around larger apparel, wide gift boxes, or presentation-heavy shipments.
- Use 12 x 18 in, 15 x 20 in, or 18 x 24 in when the item is small and too much tissue would create bunching.
- Do not use tissue paper as the only protective material for heavy or fragile shipments. Pair it with packing paper, mailers, boxes, or void-fill materials when protection matters.
How many cases of tissue paper do I need?
Multiply the number of packages by the sheets you use in each, then divide by the selected SKU's sheets per case and round up. Keep an allowance for your own packing waste or extra layers.
Example: 1,000 packages using 2 sheets each need 2,000 sheets before any waste allowance. If 20 x 30 inch T2030J fits the job, 5 cases of 480 supply 2,400 sheets. If 15 x 20 inch T1520J fits, 3 cases of 960 supply 2,880 sheets. Choose the required sheet size first; these are different formats, not interchangeable quantities.
Request a tissue paper quote with each SKU, the number of sheets or cases, delivery ZIP and required date. Give separate quantities for different sizes or ship-to locations. Use the product links above for current prices and availability.
Tissue Paper vs Packing Paper
| Need | Better starting point | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Retail presentation or gift wrap | Tissue paper sheets | Lightweight sheets improve presentation, separation, and unboxing feel. |
| Blocking, bracing, and heavier void fill | Packing paper or kraft paper | Heavier paper formats handle more protective work than tissue sheets. |
| Decorative box fill | White paper void fill | Crinkle or paper void-fill paths can add presentation while filling empty space. |

FAQ
What is a standard tissue paper size?
The options in this guide run from 10 x 15 to 24 x 36 inches, including 20 x 30 inch sheets. Choose by the coverage your folded or stacked item needs, then compare the case quantity for that exact SKU.
How do I choose tissue paper sheet size?
Measure the item after folding or stacking, then choose a sheet large enough to wrap around the product or cover the presentation area without excessive bunching. For repeat packing stations, standardize on one primary size plus one smaller backup size.
Is tissue paper the same as void fill?
Tissue paper can provide light presentation fill, but it is not the same as heavier protective paper void fill. Use tissue for appearance and light separation; use packing paper, kraft paper, or crinkle paper when the package needs more blocking and bracing.
When should I request a bulk quote for tissue paper sheets?
Use the bulk quote route when tissue paper is part of a recurring packaging program, multiple sizes replenish together, or the buying team needs planned case quantities across locations.
How many tissue sheets are in a case?
T2030J, the 20 x 30 inch option shown here, has 480 sheets per case. The other five listed white tissue SKUs have 960. Check the exact product before ordering; sheet counts are not uniform across sizes.
