Here are some packaging tips from @beadandbones -“Packaging, it’s how people see you. With stellar packaging, you’ll have less breakages, more repeat customers, and you’ll even feel more professional. People will remember you more, get excited to leave a review, and generally feel like you REALLY CARE. There’s nothing like a well-thought-out brand. Your very first task on the list is to get a logo. A real one. With design resources plentiful on the internet, there’s no reason to not have one. Here are three ways to get your logo:
1. If you can draw, make your own and pay someone to turn it into a vector file on fiverr.com or invest in Adobe Illustrator (which has a learning curve).
2. If you can’t draw, commission an artist on fiverr or freelancer.com check out portfolios to find the perfect match for you.
3. If you’ve got an extremely tight budget, check out 99designs or logojoy. Next: boxes!
1. Double boxing is much more secure and nearly guaranteed to deliver your special items intact. I suggest an interior branded jewelry box and a more simple outer shipping container.
2. A tight fit is important! Loose room in your packaging is detrimental to the safety of your items. Be sure and fill in any extra space with the filler of your choice!
Now you have a logo and packaging, how to put the two together? Here are the top three options for branding yourself:
1. A custom stamp is extremely affordable! Visit rubberstamps.com for quality, affordable, custom stamps available in a wide array of sizes. You can use any color of ink you like, including metallics or chalks if your jam is black boxes.
2. While stamps are affordable and super cute, they’re a tad more time consuming to produce than a sticker. Stickers look very professional, clean, and you can match your background to your box color to create a nearly “seamless” custom-printed box look without the major print costs.
3. If you’re looking for the most professional and least time-consuming option, then consider custom printed boxes, foils, or hot stamps. Any of these options will come at a premium, but you will have the prettiest boxes on the market with zero effort on your part!” Share your thoughts with us!
