Having a wrapping paper storage solution might seem silly, but it can make packing up (and prepping next year!) much easier. These storage options protect wrapping supplies from dirt, bugs, and more! We’ve found some of the best wrapping paper organizers ranging for under bed storage units to full wrapping stations. Here’s our list of the best.

The ZOBER wrapping paper storage box has plenty of room to hold gift wrapping items from 24 rolls of paper to gift bows and tags. It’s made from tear-proof fabric and can be stored flat or upright. 

Pros:

  • Lots of storage space
  • Compartments for holding smaller items
  • Made from tear-proof fabric

Cons:

  • It isn’t waterproof

The ZOBER wrapping paper storage box holds between 18 and 24 rolls of paper. It also has a side compartment that keeps scissors, tape, tags, and other small accessories in one place. In the attached lid there are two clear zippered pockets. These are a great place to store gift bags, clothing boxes, and tissue paper in a way you can still see what you have without having to open the pocket first. The entire storage box is made from tear-proof fabric and features well-attached handles on multiple sides that make it easy to put away, including sliding under a bed, placing on a high shelf, or standing upright inside a closet. The ZOBER wrapping paper storage container is black and white, which makes it easier to store gift wrapping supplies for any occasion rather than just for the holidays. However, it does have a red and a green option, too.

These deep pockets are separated by four clear pockets to hold smaller items like bows, tape, scissors, and gift tags. On the back of this organizer are two pockets big enough to hold clothing boxes and gift bags, along with tissue paper. This is a convenient place to store these items without causing too much bulk and allowing the storage container to hang nearly flat against a door or wall. The pockets and seams of this organizer are double stitched to keep them from tearing and will hold a combined total of 35 pounds. It also comes in five different colors.

The Honey-Can-Do gift wrap storage cart has so much space to hold a lot of supplies on top of several rolls of gift wrap. It’s on wheels to make it easier to move, though you can lock the wheels into place. 

Pros:

  • Lots of storage space
  • Designated ribbon dowels
  • Easy to move
  • Locking wheels

The Honey-Can-Do storage cart has a deep caddy on the back to store several rolls of wrapping paper. It also has four drawers to hold bows, scissors, tags, and other gift wrapping supplies. There are two shelves that are perfect for storing gift boxes, and two side dowels that will hold ribbon, twine, or smaller rolls of wrapping paper. At the top of this wrapping paper storage cart is a flat work area that is perfect for doing the actual gift wrapping on. But it is also indented and deep enough to hold additional supplies.

IRIS USA vertical wrapping paper box

A sturdy solution

The IRIS USA wrapping paper storage box holds an impressive 20 rolls of wrapping paper. The top is clear and snaps securely into place, and also provides you with two strong handles for easily moving it. 

Pros:

  • Sturdy build
  • Clear lid
  • Holds 20 rolls of paper

Cons:

  • Doesn’t collapse
  • No storage for other gift wrap items

The IRIS USA wrapping paper storage box is made of durable plastic and is big enough to hold 20 rolls of 40-inch wrapping paper. The top of the box is clear to make it easier to see into the storage bin and see what you have. The top also features two handles, so when it is snapped into place it is easier to carry around. The IRIS USA wrapping box is designed to nest inside other boxes when not in use, and to be stored in a corner, in the garage or in a closet without taking up too much space. The downside of this wrapping paper storage box is it isn’t collapsible and it is too thick to slide under a bed to store. It also doesn’t have separate areas of hold other gift wrapping items, like bows, scissors, or tape. You can place these at the bottom of the container before putting wrapping paper rolls in it. However, it is difficult to get these items out without first removing all the paper. It will also take up space and limit the size of the wrapping paper rolls you can store inside it.

AmazonBasics under bed storage containers, 2-Pack

Double the storage for double the gift wrap

Slip the AmazonBasics storage containers under your bed to keep wrapping paper and supplies handy without taking up valuable space in your room or closet. The clear, zippered lid makes it easy to see what you have while keeping dust and bugs away from your stash. 

Pros:

  • Two storage containers
  • Keeps dust and insects out
  • Easily slips under most beds

Cons:

  • Can’t be stored upright
  • No storage for additional supplies

These storage containers aren’t designed specifically for organizing wrapping paper, but at 42 inches long they work perfectly for this purpose. This AmazonBasics 2-pack gives you enough room to hold several rolls of wrapping paper, including thick rolls, and long, 40-inch rolls, too. The entire container is made from vinyl to keep bugs and dust out, though the lid is clear so you can see into it without first opening it. There isn’t a separate storage area for additional gift wrapping supplies or pockets for additional storage space. However, because these containers are long it is easier to place scissors, tags, and tape inside along with your wrapping paper and still easily see and access them when needed. The AmazonBasics storage containers are low enough to slip under your bed and store wrapping paper out of sight until you need it. They can also be stored on a closet shelf.
