Product Information
Full details
The Janrax Purple Crepe Paper Sheet is designed for crafters, event planners, and DIY enthusiasts looking to create professional-grade decorations. With a flexible 35% stretch factor and a vibrant textured finish, it offers the ideal balance of durability and workability for streamers, flowers, and backdrops. While it is perfect for artistic projects, users should note that the paper is lightweight at 17GSM, making it susceptible to tearing if stretched too aggressively or exposed to heavy moisture.

FAQs
Is this crepe paper waterproof?
No, this crepe paper is not waterproof and will disintegrate or lose color if exposed to moisture or liquids.
Can I use this for wrapping gifts?
While it can be used for decorative flourishes, it is very thin (17GSM), so it may not provide enough coverage or protection for wrapping primary gift boxes.
Does the color bleed if it gets damp?
Yes, like many crepe papers, the dye may transfer if the paper becomes damp.
How much does one sheet stretch?
This paper features approximately 35% stretch, allowing it to be manipulated significantly for flower petals and fringe.
Is this paper recyclable?
Yes, standard crepe paper is generally recyclable with paper products, provided it has not been heavily contaminated with glue or glitter.
Troubleshooting
Paper tearing during stretching
Apply pressure more slowly and ensure you are pulling along the grain of the crepe texture rather than against it.
Adhesive not holding
Use a light application of craft glue or specialized paper tape; heavy glues can make the paper soggy and prone to breaking.
Color fading
Keep finished decorations out of direct, intense sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the purple pigment.
Pros and Cons

- Rich and consistent purple color saturation

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin your project, ensure your work surface is dry, as moisture can weaken the 17GSM paper and cause the purple dye to transfer. Use non-toxic craft glue or double-sided tape for assembly, as heavy-duty adhesives may tear the delicate fibers. When stretching the paper, pull slowly and evenly to prevent jagged edges. Store the unused sheets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the purple color from fading over time.
