When to use it
礼品包装 (lǐpǐn bāozhuāng, "gift packaging") is the full phrase. Most Chinese department stores and mall shops offer free gift-wrapping on request; ask 可以礼品包装吗 (can you gift-wrap it?). 包装 alone means "packaging" generically. For high-end items like jewelry, 礼盒 (lǐhé, gift box) is available. Chinese gift etiquette: never give a clock (钟 chime sounds like 终 end), never give shoes to a romantic partner (means "let them walk away"), avoid white wrapping (funeral association).
