Clairefontaine 507506C - A Reel of Red UniColour Recycled Kraft Paper - Dimensions: 50x0,70m - 60g - Colour: Red - Recycled paper, Ideal for gift wrapping

I needed to block the sun that was streaming through my bi-folding doors every morning and I had to do it fast because it was turning my room into a greenhouse, so I bought this paper to line my bi-folding doors. Not the greatest style statement, but needs must... What I have noticed after having the paper hanging up for several weeks is that it's such great quality that it's not showing any signs of wear of tear. This is despite my opening the bi-folding doors several times a day and exposing the paper to wind and rain. Truly remarkable! The colour quality is also very good - the paper manages to block out the sunlight and shows no sign of fading. You get a lot of paper on this roll, so I started using it for parcels and it's sturdy stuff. I've always liked Clairefontaine - the quality of their paper is super smooth and very luxurious and this is no exception. Highly recommended.

I bought the red colour for wrapping presents. It’s a good colour and quality. I didn’t notice the transparency issue (maybe because we give our gifts and then open them straight away so no one is playing detective!) and there is loads on the roll. It’s less festive than the shiny stuff we used to get but still very cheery and Christmassy!

Any present with strong letters or contrasting colours will show through a bit in this wrapping paper. But as theres so much of it, its recycled and recyclable, I didnt mind rolling it around certain presents a second time. It's lovely wrapping paper to work with. Celotape sticks nicely. It cuts well. When you make a crease before adding celotape it holds instead of springing back as some foil ones would. And theres so much of it that with kids large presents theres no worries I will run out. Brought for Christmas but will buy some for Birthdays.

Beautiful shade of muted gold so suitable for wrapping absolutely anything and everything from Christmas to birthdays, wedding gifts to hand-made soap plus crafting. Just be aware that as this is a huuuge roll, it is very heavy. I won't be needing another one for some time!

Wrapped all our Christmas presents in this and looked great with our blue theme. Nice weight and quality and good solid colour.

The blue of this paper is a wonderful colour. I have wrapped several things in it now and they all look great. Many different coloured ribbons can be used with it to change and enhance the look. It is a huge roll so should keep me going for years! Also a great colour for anyone and everyone. The paper seems sturdy, folds easily and can be stuck with Sellotape if required (Sellotape doesn't seem to stick to some papers). There seemed to be a great range of colours to chose from if blue isn't your thing.

Very good strong paper - looks amazing with pretty ribbon around it.

The quality and strength of this paper is excellent - feels lovely to the touch and a pleasure to wrap with. Unfortunately, it isn't opaque, meaning that the wrapped gift can easily be identified.....
