Easy Steps
How To Wrap Your Hands

(1) Relaxed Hand
Hold your hand in a relaxed position with your fingers spread open. Loop your thumb through the end of the hand wrap to lock it in place.

(2) Wrap the Wrist
Firmly wrap the material around your wrist three times. Make sure it’s snug to provide support, but not so tight that it cuts off circulation.

(3) Support Thumb
Wrap the material around the tumb and wrist all the way to the knuckles. Wrap between each finger to protect webbing.

(4) Cover Knuckles
Keep your fingers spread whilst wrapping material over the knuckles three times. This will prevent wrapping too tight.

(5) Lock It In
Bring the wrap back down towards the wrist and wrap it one last time then press down the velcro for a secure finish.

(6) Repeat
Now that you’ve wrapped one hand like a pro, do the same on your other hand and get ready to train.

Conclusion
Why Hand Wraps Belong in Every Gym Bag
Boxing and combat training are all about repetition, hundreds of punches, session after session. That kind of volume puts serious strain on a customer’s hands, knuckles, and wrists over time. And that’s exactly why hand wraps are more than just an accessory, they’re essential.
Here’s how hand wraps help your customers:
- Provide extra protection during heavy hits and awkward angles
- Reduce abrasions and impact on knuckles and fingers
- Offer compression and support through the hand and wrist
- Absorb sweat to reduce glove odour and bacteria build-up
In short, hand wraps are a small, low-cost item that helps customers train longer, stay injury-free, and protect their investment in gloves.
So whether they’re buying their first pair of gloves or stepping up their training, recommending wraps is a great way to add value, and help them build better habits from day one.
