How to measure

Measurement steps0 / 4 checked

Measure book length, width, and thickness at the largest points
Add 5-10mm per side for clearance and wrap walls
Match to the closest standard wrap size
Test-pack a sample to verify snug fit with no rattling

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.

Standard sizes

Most fiction paperbacks fit this size.

Textbooks, cookbooks, and A4 documents.

Art books, atlases, and large format titles.
