There are some easy and creative ways to make your handmade products different from the rest at festivals or shows and make a special surprise for customers ordering your products. This blog is all about using creative packaging to make your creations stand out from the crowd and make them memorable for your customers.
How much time and effort you want to put into your packaging is totally up to you. You can quickly create simple stylish packaging or spend more time creating something totally customized to your business.
You are competing with not only other producers of handmade products but with mass produced items. Your handmade products are more expensive than those from a factory assembly line, but, for very good reasons. The extra time, effort, and expertise (not to mention passion) that goes into handmade products are what make them worth the extra price to your buyers. Your decorative packaging needs to reflect this care, effort, and passion.
I love these adorable hand made gift tags that can be used to accent your craft project. Cookie cutters were used to trace shapes on a variety of things…cardstock, vintage books (a French children’s story and some Shakespeare). Glue to a larger shape. They then added bits of this and that….shells, flowers, burlap, buttons, twine, raffia and a little diamond dust. Use a hole punch to make a hole, and attach the tag to the gift bag with ribbons, silk tassels or elastic pretied bow.
Many of the items you may need to create your own version of this idea can be found on our website by clicking on the ribbon link in my post. If you don’t see exactly what you are looking for, please call the phone number on that page.
