Can You Wrap a brown paper package with a string?

You can affix a lable or create a tag, but beware of handing it to Postman Pat.

Still, it’s cheaper to deliver it yourself, plus you get to see the joy your present (and its’ wrapping!) brings.

Where to put the seam on a brown paper package?

Take another 20-30cm (or 8″ to 12″) of string and you’ll have just the right amount to tie your parcel, plus some wriggle room in case you have difficulties making the knot. For this instructable I went with 20cm, larger presents and thicker twine will benefit from larger bows.
