How to measure
Measurement steps0 / 4 checked
Quick answer
Measure the book, add 5-10mm per side, and choose the closest standard size. Common sizes include 217x155mm (fits most paperbacks), 302x215mm (fits A4 and large paperbacks), and 350x250mm (fits oversized books). The wrap should fit snugly. Too loose means the book rattles and gets damaged. Too tight means the wrap cannot close properly.
