Valentine’s Day Packaging Ideas

 Thursday, January 13th, 2011

Valentine’s Day Packaging Ideas

We’ve shown you some of our tabletop display ideas for Valentine’s Day and now it’s time to show off some color combinations for packaging.

When the time comes to bag up your customer’s purchases we would like you to think outside of the box and consider some alternative color combinations to really make your packaging memorable. We are going to show you a few looks and our suggestions for these looks. Color allows you to evoke a feeling that your customers will latch onto. This will leave a lasting impression on your customer long after they have left your store.

Group #1

Group #2

Group #3

Group #4

Packaging Group #1 & #2

These groupings are a great example of what you can create using a simple color pallet. Packaging Group # 1 pictured on the left side we used our black kraft paper bags coupled with our bright red tissue paper. We used the red glossy paper bag on the right and paired it with our black and zebra print tissue from our Glamazon Premium Bag Collection and in Packaging Group #2 we paired the gold matte paper bag with our black tissue paper. These colors are a great choice for evoking a look of sophistication and romance. These are wonderful for lingerie and adult novelty stores.

Packaging Group #3 and #4

This set of packaging involves color pairings that are much more whimsical than traditional red and white color pairings. Packaging Group #3 pictured on the left side we used our chocolate brown kraft paper bags and coupled it with our bright fuchsia tissue paper. We used our basic kraft paper bag on the right but this time we paired it with our chocolate and pink (neapolitan dots) tissue from our Neapolitan Premium Bag Collection and in Packaging Group #4 we paired the cerise glossy paper bag with purple and Neapolitan stripes tissue paper. These colors are a more playful choice to use for gift bags or customer purchases.
Either grouping is a great choice for an array of merchandise from sweets to jewelry.

We hope that we have inspired you to take a walk down the road of packaging possibilities. We want you to keep your options fresh and inventive as each holiday season comes your way.

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

 Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

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!
