Adding Inserts, Stickers, and Brand Touches Without Affecting Size
Add brand touches to book wraps without pushing over postal size or weight limits.
The size challenge
Book wraps are designed to fit snugly around books with minimal excess. Adding inserts risks pushing the total thickness beyond the wrap capacity or postal size limits. The key is choosing thin, flat additions that add brand value without adding significant bulk.
Quick answer
Use thin card inserts (under 350gsm), branded stickers, and lightweight bookmarks. A postcard on 300gsm adds about 0.4mm. A sticker adds virtually nothing. A bookmark on 250gsm adds 0.3mm. Place inserts flat against the book, not loose in the wrap. Always measure the packed wrap to verify it stays within postal limits.
Thin insert options
Readers keep bookmarks, giving your brand months of visibility.
A postcard on 300gsm adds under 0.5mm thickness.
90-120gsm paper adds negligible thickness.
Sticker branding
Branded stickers are the zero-thickness branding option. Apply to the wrap exterior for instant brand recognition. Sticker sheets inside the wrap are popular with readers and cost 5-10p each.
