FAQs
We answer the most frequently asked questions we get from our book wrap and twistwrap customers.
What is the best packaging for books?
Cardboard book wraps, such as the Lil Packaging Bukwrap, are the ideal solution for transporting books in the postal system. They are designed to not require additional packaging, like craft paper or bubble wrap. When delivered, depending on the size of the book, they can be placed in letter boxes. They are supplied with peel-and-seal adhesive systems, so there is no need for additional adhesive tape.
How do you pack books for posting?
Books are relatively hardy, but they still need adequate packing for posting. We recommend that you avoid using excess bubble wrap or craft paper and use a cardboard book mailer or book wrap.
Here is a quick step-by-step guide to using a book wrap for a book ready for posting:
Lay your Bukwrap on a flat surface.
Open the interior cardboard flaps.
Place your book in the middle of the flaps.
Align the book with the outer edge of the cardboard.
Close the flaps around the book.
Hold the flaps tight to the book.
Continue to hold the book whilst rolling the Bukwrap over the unused side of the cardboard.
Remove the tape over the adhesive.
Fold the adhesive section over the cardboard-covered book.
Apply pressure to the adhesive section to ensure a tight seal.

What is the difference between Book Wraps and Twistwraps?
A book wrap is designed specifically for books. The flaps that encase the books are in line with the front edge of the packaging. Whereas twist wraps are designed for other items and are more versatile. Twist wraps are flat cardboard squares that need to be ‘twisted’ before being folded over the desired product. The flaps are often in the center of the cardboard. If you are unsure of what packaging product you need then contact our friendly team and discuss your requirements.
