PinoyRecipe.net's Tips: Most Supermarkets sell Lumpia Wrapper in square shape and you can buy it in different sizes. We recommend it compared to the round lumpia wrapper that you can buy in a public market if you are in the Philippines. You'll have a lot of waste using the round type lumpia wrapper and it is time consuming to re-wrap and double wrap the damage wraps.
