Description
This wrapping paper sheet carries a bright world map in the style of an old classroom chart, printed on a soft sea-green ground. The countries are picked out in sunny yellow, rose pink, leaf green, brick red and orange, most of them named, and the oceans, the equator, the polar and tropical circles and the lines of latitude and longitude are all marked in fine pale lines. Along the top runs a row of small globes and the heading World Map, while a line of clock faces across the foot shows the world's time zones, all framed by a slim red border. One flat sheet measures 48.9cm wide and 69.2cm long, a good size for wrapping a boxed present.
We like it most for presents that come in a box. Books, board games, jigsaw puzzles, jumpers and anything square-edged fold neatly into it, and the busy pattern means a corner or two of overlap never shows. Finish it with a plain ribbon in green or red to pick up one of the map's own colours, and the parcel looks considered without any fuss. Because it comes as a flat sheet rather than a roll, it also looks lovely clipped or pinned to a wall as a cheerful print for a study, hallway or bedroom. It works for covering exercise books and lining drawers too.
The paper is made in the UK from sustainably sourced stock at 100gsm, which gives it enough body to fold crisply at the corners without feeling stiff. Store it flat or loosely rolled, away from damp, so it stays smooth until you need it. To wrap, measure the paper around your box with a little extra for the ends, crease each fold firmly and use double-sided tape for a clean finish. Keep a spare sheet in the drawer for presents that need wrapping at short notice.

Frequently Asked
How big is the wrapping paper sheet?
Each sheet is 48.9cm wide and 69.2cm long, which gives plenty of paper for a hardback book, a boxed game or a folded jumper.
How thick is the paper?
It is 100gsm paper, made in the UK from sustainably sourced stock. It has enough body to fold neatly at the corners without feeling stiff.
Is the world map geographically accurate?
No. It is a stylised print in the manner of an old classroom chart, so the shapes and borders are drawn for charm rather than as a precise geographical record.
What colours are on the sheet?
The background is a soft sea-green. The countries are in yellow, pink, green, red and orange, with fine pale grid lines and a slim red border around the edge.
Can I hang the sheet on a wall as a poster?
Yes. As a flat sheet it can be clipped or pinned to a wall as a cheerful print, though it is plain paper rather than a framed or laminated poster.
