Gift wrapping service in Kenya
Gift wrapping by package size with clear material choices
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional wrapping service: wrap twenty customer-supplied rigid gift boxes, each approximately 200 × 150 × 80 mm, in one approved paper with a tag and ribbon. For this geometry, a trial 490 × 360 mm sheet provides about 30 mm seam overlap around the 150 × 80 mm cross-section and 80 mm end allowance each side of the 200 mm length. Prove the folds on one actual box. Scope excludes supplying contents, hiding damage and protective courier packing.
