Decorative Packaging

Table favor tips: We’ve all been a guest at a wedding and felt the subtle excitement when we realize the bride and groom aren’t the only ones getting presents. Okay, so it’s now espresso machine, but coffee flavored chocolates in a cute little box make waiting for 45 minutes for the meal to be served a little more manageable.

However, if you’re the bride, you may not realize how much work and expense can go into these little table treats. Shopping online for decorative packaging-boxes, bags, bows and shred-is one way to save some money, especially if you are have a large wedding. Another tip is to have a favor party [to make your party favors, lol]. Invite your bridesmaids, girlfriends and family over for a table favor assembly line. Do the work while you watch contemporary wedding movies, like Runaway Bride, My Best Friend’s Wedding or Maid of Honor.

Gift should be wrapped and packaged with care. Decorative packaging is a beautiful way of letting your loved one know you put a lot of thought into the gift. A decorative ribbon or beautiful box will bring a lasting impression of good taste and class.

Use sturdy boxes for heavy gifts. Boxes and other packaging materials can be re-used for other purposes to be green. Use ribbons appropriately with lots of pretty colors.  You will see a nice reaction just from the gift receiver looking at the package.

We got so many heartfelt wedding gifts! The pretty paper and delicate bows hinted at the meaningful contents of packages meant to remind us of our special day and the special way we had wound up together. A decorative butterfly and hummingbird, said to represent the groom and I, from my creative sister and several picture frames to display our wedding photos in. Our loved ones were so thoughtful and they wrapped their love up in pretty floral paper secured with shiny satin bows.

Maybe I could call it ‘Delightful Flowers & Gifts’. I could be a shopping expert for all my clients,interviewing them about the special someone they are shopping for and helping them make just the right purchase. Then, I would wrap everything up with a perfectly delightful bow!

When I look back at my childhood Christmases, it isn’t the expensive gifts that I remember most. In fact, if you ask me what the biggest most impressive gift I ever received was, I couldn’t tell you. I don’t remember what was underneath the pretty paper. I don’t even remember making a list of toys, hoping against hope I would get that doll that wet itself and chewed its food. I remember the smell of apple pie, the laughter and the red ribbon.

It’s the little things at Christmas which make the biggest impression. How easy it is to get caught up in the pre-holiday rush and forget to take the time to stop and take-in the rich colors, aromas and sounds of the weeks leading up to December 25. It may seem as though Christmas is a far off event, but it’s really a sense of wonder you can carry with you all year long.

We all know what we see with our eyes has a lot to do with the purchases we make. This is especially true among female consumers. A nearly identical product wrapped up in prettier, more eye-catching packaging gets automatic bonus points. If pricing is similar, the well-packaged product will make the sale.

With small businesses competing in a global market, via the web, anything that can take your company’s product or service to the next level is an essential part of successful marketing. Whether your selling soy soaps, tube socks, or cookie dough; packaging supplies can help you attract the undecided shopper.
