The Impact

How many average gifts can a roll of wrapping paper cover?

Each standard-size roll wrapping paper can cover 7 average-sized boxed gifts. Wrapping paper rolls can cost as little as $3 a roll, and premium wrapping paper can cost $10 or more per roll. So the price per gift wrap can range from $0.43 to $1.43.

​

Taking an average cost of wrapping paper, one medium bag would pay for itself in 20 uses. After that point, each use of the reusable gift bag would represent a cost savings compared to using disposable wrapping paper.

How much wrapping paper lands in landfills?

It is estimated that approximately 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper is produced in the U.S. each year, and that about 2.3 million pounds ends its life in landfills (Earth911). That is the equivalent of

​

• 177-230 adult male African elephants

• 575-767 sedans

• 5 blue whales

How much time does it take to wrap?

Sustainable solutions like Dialightful not only save money and the environment, they save precious time. Time picking out wrapping paper, and time spent wrapping. Here's some more math.

​

• Simple Shapes: Small, square or rectangular gifts with simple shapes are generally quicker to wrap and may take 2 to 5 minutes.

• Complex Shapes: Larger or irregularly shaped gifts, such as clothing boxes, bottles, or items with multiple parts, can take longer, possibly 5 to 10 minutes or more.

• Skill Level: Experienced gift wrappers may be faster than those who are less experienced.

• Decorative Elements: Adding extra decorations like ribbons, bows, or embellishments can extend the wrapping time.

A reusable gift bag takes seconds to wrap, even irregularly shaped gifts. Let's assume it takes 5 minutes to wrap with wrapping paper. It only takes 60 seconds to use a reusable gift bag. That's a savings of 4 minutes a gift! Even for ten gifts, that time adds up to 40 minutes saved!
