Short answer
What should buyers budget for paper raffia filler?
Papyrn's current planning reference is a 12 kg minimum at about US$3 per kg, with shipping quoted separately. That makes the filler subtotal about US$36 at the minimum quantity before freight. Treat this as a planning reference, not a delivered quote: confirm the current price, selected color codes, packing, destination, and shipping method before ordering.
1. Confirm the minimum and product subtotal
12 kg
About US$3 per kg
About US$36 for 12 kg, before shipping
Not included; request a separate estimate for your destination and packing plan
These figures help with early planning and can change with the confirmed order. Ask the supplier to state the currency, quantity, price basis, packing, and freight separately so you can compare offers clearly.
2. Choose colors by code
The color chart contains many choices, so refer to the printed code shown beside the shade rather than describing a color only as “pink,” “green,” or “blue.” In your inquiry, list each requested code and estimated kilograms. If the order includes several shades, ask whether the total 12 kg minimum can be split across those colors.
Use a screen image as a selection aid, not a color guarantee. Lighting, display settings, paper, and photography can change how a shade appears. If the exact color matters, request a physical reference and review it beside your box, tissue paper, cards, and product. Browse the paper raffia color chart and include the chosen codes in your quote request.
3. Estimate how much you need
Start with the number of finished boxes, then test the actual packing setup. Put the real product, tray, tissue, and cards into the finished-size box. Add filler until the product presentation looks right, weigh the filler, and repeat the test several times. Multiply the average amount by the number of boxes, then discuss a practical allowance for packing variation.
There is no reliable universal grams-per-box figure. Box dimensions, product size, insert layout, filler cut, compression, and presentation all change the amount. The paper filler type, color, and quantity guide has a fuller test method and explains when decorative filler needs a separate protective insert.
4. Request shipping separately
Filler is lightweight but can take up space. Freight depends on where it is going, the packed weight and volume, how the filler is bagged or compressed, the shipping method, and whether it travels with other packaging supplies. Share your country and postal code, plus whether the order will ship alone or with boxes, tissue, or cards.
If you are comparing a product price with a delivered option, ask the supplier to separate goods, freight, and any applicable duties or taxes. Read the shipping and DDP guide for the information needed to compare delivery terms.
What to include in your quote request
- Color code or codes from the current chart
- Total kilograms and estimated kilograms per color
- Number of gift boxes to pack and box inside dimensions
- Product size, photo, and any tray, tissue, or insert
- Destination country and postal code
- Whether filler ships alone or with other packaging items
- Target delivery date and requested shipping method, if known
For a faster estimate, send the color codes and destination together. If you are still testing the box presentation, share the box and product photos and ask how to validate the filler amount before committing to a larger set.
