Kraft Paper Roll Sizes: Width Options & Price

How to Choose the Right Kraft Paper Roll Width?

Kraft paper rolls range from narrow 450mm rolls for small parcels to wide 1150mm rolls built for pallets and furniture, so choosing the right width comes down to matching the job. Made from 100% recycled 88gsm Kraft paper, they are also fully recyclable and biodegradable, working equally well as a protective wrap or an eco-friendly void fill. 

Many buyers grab whatever roll is on offer first and check the width later. That habit often means taping extra sheets together to cover a large item, which wastes paper and leaves a weaker wrap than a single, properly sized sheet would.

Roll length matters just as much as width, but for a different reason. A short roll runs out fast on a busy packing bench, while a long 200m roll takes up more shelf space than a small operation may have room for, so the right length depends on how often you pack and how much storage you can spare.

Globe Packaging stocks every width and length combination in one place, from single mini rolls for occasional use to full cartons for high-volume packing lines. That range makes it easier to match the roll to the job instead of settling for whatever size happens to be in stock.

Different Kraft Paper Roll Width Options

1. 450mm to 500mm Rolls

This size of kraft paper rolls is popular in retail, e-commerce fulfilment, and light manufacturing
environments where items like bottles, books, ceramics, or boxed goods are shipped daily.

These narrower rolls are ideal for small to medium-sized products. At 450mm and 500mm wide, they give you enough coverage to wrap individual items cleanly without generating excess paper. 

The 500mm width in particular sits in a sweet spot: wide enough to wrap most standard retail products in a single pass, but compact enough that staff can work quickly without wrestling with oversized sheets. These rolls are also easier to store in tighter warehouse or stockroom spaces.

Best Use Cases

• Wrapping individual retail products like bottles, mugs, and ornaments

• Void fill and crumpling inside shipping boxes

• E-commerce packing benches with limited workspace

• Gift wrapping in smaller retail environments

• Interleaving between stacked items to prevent surface scratches

2. 600mm to 750mm Rolls

For businesses running high-volume packing lines, these mid-range rolls tend
to offer the best balance between roll length and usable width.

Step up to 600mm or 750 mm, and you're in the mid-range territory that suits a broader range of packaging tasks. These widths are among the most commonly used in general warehousing and fulfilment operations because they balance coverage with manageability.

A 600mm roll handles medium-sized products, such as electronics, kitchenware, or clothing bundles, with ease. The 750mm width adds that extra margin that's useful when you're wrapping irregularly shaped items or need a bit more paper to tuck and secure the ends properly.

Best Use Cases

• Wrapping medium-sized products like electronics, kitchen appliances, and boxed goods

• Padding and cushioning inside larger shipping cartons

• Wrapping irregularly shaped items that need extra coverage

• High-volume fulfilment centres needing a versatile all-purpose roll

• Interleaving between stacked plates, trays, or flat-packed items

3. 900mm to 1150mm Rolls

These are best used for furniture protection, pallet wrapping, floor covering
during installations, and large appliance packaging.

These are the wide-format rolls, and they exist for a reason. At 900mm and 1150mm wide, they're built for large-scale wrapping tasks where narrower rolls simply can't do the job efficiently. 

The 1150mm roll in particular falls under some of the widest kraft paper categories. It covers large surface areas in fewer passes, which speeds up the wrapping process significantly when dealing with bulky or oversized items. For removal companies, furniture retailers, or manufacturers shipping large goods, this width is often non-negotiable.

Best Use Cases

• Furniture wrapping and protection during transit or storage

• Covering floors and surfaces during renovations or installations

• Wrapping large appliances like washing machines, fridges, or flat-screen TVs

• Pallet lining and interleaving for heavy industrial shipments

• Large-format retail gift wrapping or display paper

How Much Are Kraft Paper Rolls?

Kraft paper roll pricing varies based on three main factors: width, roll length, and GSM. Narrower, shorter rolls at lower GSM are the most affordable, while wide, long rolls at higher GSM sit at the upper end of the price range. 

At Globe Packaging, our smallest single roll, the 450mm x 10M, starts at £3.77, while a full-width 1150mm x 200M roll comes in at £37.76, so there's an option to suit everything from light, occasional wrapping to high-volume packing benches. Between those two ends, popular mid-range choices include the 500mm x 100M at £12.56 and the 600mm x 100M at £13.46, both practical widths for general parcel wrapping and void fill.

Buying in bulk is where the savings add up. A single 450mm x 200M roll is £17.96, but stepping up to a multi-roll pack brings the per-roll cost down noticeably, with a pack of four working out cheaper per unit than buying four singly, and larger cartons of 10, 30, or 50 rolls dropping the rate further for businesses getting through high volumes. 

Every width follows the same pattern, so the more you buy, the lower your effective cost per metre.
