Gift Certificates and Gold Seals

As your Christmas holiday season kicks into high gear we want to remind you not to forget a few essentials to enhance your gifts and gift baskets. We also want to remind you of a gift certificate option to provide your customers.

A Gift For You gold cards and seals

These cards and seals have been a staple at Store Supply Warehouse for many years. The simplicity of the phrase has always worked time and time again. These items can be used all year round but they are particularly nice during the Christmas season. The gold cards are a wonder addition to add to gift baskets as well as an add-on accessory for any products in your store that you offer as a pre wrapped set. The gold cards have a white inside that opens up to allow space for writing a special note for the recipient of the gift. We also offer gold elastic ties in several lengths to attach the cards to any merchandise that needs it.

Gift Certificates

Gift certificates are a great way to offer your customer an option to purchase a set dollar amount as a gift that can be used later for merchandise in your store. Gift Certificates are convenient because they are a simple solution to gift giving.  These are also great options for hostess and corporate gifts as well. Gift Certificates are a smart option for you to advertise your store. We offer the gift certificates a number of different ways. We offer them as certificates, certificates and envelopes together and as a super kit. This adds signage that lets your customers know that gift certificates are available for purchase in your store.

Holiday Packaging Beyond Red and Green

Holiday Packaging Beyond Red and Green

We want to challenge you to think beyond traditional red and green for holiday gift bags and tissue. This year we ask the question “Isn’t it still Christmas even if you don’t follow the rules?”  If your answer is yes then take a journey with me away from the traditional colors of the holiday and let’s step out of the “gift” box for a moment.

In this first grouping the color combination evoke the spirit of the great outdoors. We easily could have paired this grouping with white and reds or even gold but look at what happens when you take a more muted approach. Starting from the left side we paired our chocolate brown and rain forest green paper shopping bags with turquoise blue tissue. The kraft paper shopping bags have bright red tissue added along with turquoise blue. It’s the blue that helps to shift the focus on bright red even more. The striking color contrast between the warmth of the bright red and the cool hue of turquoise is what is needed if you want your packaging to stand apart from everyone else.

This grouping screams sophistication! Our silver paper shopping bags have a matte finish that is begging to be paired with a color that is unexpected. We used our white paper bags as well and paired them with our purple tissue paper. Purple is the “it” color of the moment and lends itself well to contemporary styling.

In this grouping, we had to give a nod to the whimsical and unexpected. The strength of the color red is represented here but with a bold twist. From the left we took our red shiny euro tote but this time we paired it with seafoam and island dots for a fun and youthful approach to Christmas! The middle bag is our citrus lime fashion colored paper bag paired with canary tissue. Lastly the red bag on the right side of the picture while still bold is from our newest fashion colored paper bag collection. This bag was paired with our island stripes and turquoise blue tissue. In the end, anytime you cross the color wheel and play with cool and warm colors, it will always result in something striking and unexpected.

In these next few weeks, we will tirelessly provide merchandising suggestions and styling tips so that you will get the most out of your holiday season. I am sure that this will be the best sales year yet. Please e-mail us your comments, suggestions and ideas. We welcome you to join us on Facebook and Twitter for updates and exclusives!

Holiday Premium Packaging Collections Are Here

Christmas time is the busiest time of the year for retailers. We know now more than ever that presentation is half the battle. We have had wonderful response to our Premium Bag Collection and we knew we had to add a holiday collection. I would like to introduce each one and point out a few highlights and features.

The Black Tie Collection entices you to rethink the traditional colors of Christmas red and green. When black is introduces along with red, white and Kraft the holiday season takes on a whole new feeling. This collection reminds us that the holidays can be re-imaged and become sophisticated and sleek without going too far. The collection includes our black and holiday breeze paper merchandise bags along with silver poly ribbon, white, wine and black tissue. Rounding out the collection are various colors of our raffia and white star bows.

The Frosty Holiday Collection is a collection of colors that take a softer more muted approach to the Holidays with our Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas frosty bags with blue and green graphics. Included in this collection are our frosted electric blue and mint green bags as well as complementary tissue papers in Kelly green and dark blue. Rounding out the collection are the green and light blue star bows. Silver solid gift wrap adds just the right amount of charm to the collection that your customers will be sure to take notice.

Winter Funderland Collection adds just the right amount of whimsy with pops of color and fun. In this collection we have included our Magic Christmas, citrus green and cerise shopping bags. In addition we have numerous colors of raffia that are offered in 100 yard rolls. This collection includes our red and green curling ribbon and tissue papers. We really wanted to show that you can take traditional colors and punch up the style factor with brighter colors that would typically be associated with spring or summer merchandise.

The Season’s Greetings Collection is the most traditional collection that we offer. This collection is full of gold, red and green colors that we are sure will instantly evoke the holiday spirit in everyone that sees it! The collection includes copper, green and season greetings paper shopping bags. We’ve also included red and gold poly ribbon, tissue paper and raffia that will give you plenty of ways to merchandise your product or create gift bags for your customers to present their gifts in.

Whatever collection you choose, you can be sure that we have provided enough stylish options for you to create colorful and memorable packaging to give to your customers this season.
