Holiday Gift Packaging

As summer is winding down and fall is almost upon us, it’s time to start thinking about the holiday season that is rapidly approaching! It’s time to get ahead on holiday planning, and we know one of the big things on that to-do list is getting your packaging products lined up and ready to go. Let’s take a look at the packaging products we have to offer, and some of the most popular choices for holiday gift packaging.

Merchandise Bags

Choosing the right merchandise bag is important. You want something that reflects your branding well, but that also reflects the fact that it is the holiday season. We offer a selection that ranges from paper merchandise bags to high end gift bags–all in a wide variety of colors and styles.

Tissue Paper

Choose a tissue paper that complements your gift bag of choice! The addition of tissue paper really makes purchasing special for your customers. Even if the purchased item isn’t for them, they will feel like they are getting a gift. Also, with the addition of tissue paper, they have a ready-to-gift item. Being able to have the gift wrapping already taken care of means a lot to holiday shoppers.

Bows

Along the same lines as tissue paper, a bow really makes your packaging special during the holidays. Browse through our selection for bow and bag pairing options to find the color combo that matches your branding!

Jewelry Boxes

Last, but certainly not least, jewelry boxes are very important! From gold and silver cotton filled boxes, to the luxury wood boxes, we have you covered. One of our most popular options for holiday shopping is the Magnetic Ribbon Box Series. This series has three color options, including a red and white option that is perfect for the holiday season. These high quality paper boxes already come with a ribbon and bow, making them the perfect choice for an instant gift.

Traveling Necklace Busts

When you’re traveling to shows all summer, you need a display that makes traveling and setting up as easy as possible. After all, the less time you spend setting up, the more time you can spend selling. In addition to necklace easels, we have a couple of options for traveling necklace busts that are also great choices for displaying on the road. What travels light, pack nearly flat, and makes your life easer?

The Traveling Necklace Bust!

This bust has a pop-out back.┬á

Packs almost flat for easy traveling.

And it doesn’t stop there. Try a combo traveling bust to display jewelry sets! Showing your customers pairing options in one place is a great way to get a bigger sale.

The traveling necklace bust is also available in several other options, including a tall necklace display.

Need a display with less height? Another fabulous options for traveling is this pop-up necklace display, which packs flat and pops up to create a low profile bust. It works well for choker-style necklaces or thicker beaded necklaces.

Necklace Easel Display Style

Necklace easels provide great displays with a lot of ease. (You know, an EASE-l. Get it?) Silly jokes aside, this necklace display is ideal for the summer months when traveling to shows, or for setting up on a jewelry display table where you donÔÇÖt have enough room for busts.

Why are they so great for travel? Well, in addition to being lightweight, easels pack nearly flat, which really helps save on precious space during travel. Easels are the perfect accompaniment for chains, pendant necklaces, and thinly beaded necklaces.

Love to layer? Try a tiered necklace easel to create a beautiful layered look your customers will crave. You can be free to express your display style with necklace easels, as they come in a wide variety of sizes, styles, colors, and textures. What’s your favorite way to use necklace easels?

Getting Started with Jewelry Displays?

Just starting out selling jewelry and wondering where to start with your jewelry displays? It can be overwhelming to think about traveling with your jewelry, setting up a booth, and creating an eye-catching display table! We know you want to get started selling your pieces quickly, so weÔÇÖve put together just a few tips to help you get started displaying.

1. As a general rule, keep display colors and styles consistent. You can do this in two ways. First, by keeping the colors and materials consistent throughout your displays (all leatherette or velvet, for example, or all light colors or all dark colors). Second, by making sure your displays compliment your jewelryÔÇÖs style. If your jewelry has a summer beach feel, your jewelry would be better displayed on something like a linen display than on black velvet.

2. Use appropriate displays for your jewelry. For example, would an easel or a bust work best for your necklaces? A finger or slot display for your rings? Do your bracelets work best on a T-bar, or do they need to lie unclasped on a half-moon or ramp? Each style of jewelry is best complemented by particular display styles (and sometimes even a mix of styles).

3. Remember to use different height levels. Keeping varied height levels throughout your display table (especially in groups of three with the ÔÇ£high, higher, highestÔÇØ elements) will help your customers be able to naturally read your table and easily find what you have to offer. By having everything on the same level or same height, itÔÇÖs more difficult to differentiate between products and your customers will have a harder time finding items–which means they may give up and look elsewhere.

Although these are a few general rules that help to make displaying consistent and simple, the more you go to shows and set up your displays, youÔÇÖll figure out what works for you (and youÔÇÖll come up with tricks of your own!). Best of luck as you get started displaying!

Hello, Summer!

Spring is nearly over and summer is just around the corner! Our thoughts have been full of summer displays and packaging ideas and our inspiration is coming from our new burlap jewelry display line and the chevron merchandise bags. What lovely items have been your inspiration this year?

The burlap jewelry displays are just dreamyÔÇª a grainy, textured surface speckled with brown and beige makes these displays overflow with charm and character. Deep jewel tones really stand out against this background (weÔÇÖre talking about those purples and greens and blues), although, if weÔÇÖre really being honest, just about any jewelry style will be complemented by the burlap displays. From shabby chic to indie to rustic elegance, these displays will make your style stand out even more.

And those chevron bags? Can we just say y-u-m? If your head isnÔÇÖt spinning with thoughts of summertime fun after looking through these bags, we donÔÇÖt know whatÔÇÖll get you there. They make us think of warm air, picnics on the beach, and juicy slices of watermelon. Each one of these six different colors makes us think of another summer memory. Pair any of the colorful chevron bags with either tissue paper or raffia for a cheerful summer packaging look.

Creative Gift Packaging

Packaging the items your customers have just purchased doesnÔÇÖt have to be expensive or complicated! There are a few ways to package that are simple, pretty, and wonÔÇÖt break your budget.

Drawstring Pouches

Pouches are an attractive and inexpensive way to gift wrap almost any small item. There is a lot of room for creativity or special edition packaging since pouches are available in such a wide range of colors and fabrics. Organza might be great for spring, velvet for winter, and a metallic silver or gold for the holidays. You can also keep packaging consistent by always using an organza pouch, but changing the colors depending on the time of year.

Raffia-wrapped Boxes

Cotton-filled boxes wrapped with raffia (or ribbon) are a great way to package! You can easily customize the colors to complement your branding, the season, product promotions and more.

Tissue Paper, Kraft paper, or Newsprint

Another creative gift packaging idea is to wrap your products in either a colorful tissue paper or in newspaper. Like the cotton-filled boxes, this method of packaging is easily accented with raffia of ribbon. Consider using an accent color or two that will match your logo, as this will help you with branding at a minimal cost.

What are some of your favorite creative ways to package?

Ring Displays for Wedding Season

ItÔÇÖs springtime, and love is in the air! ItÔÇÖs wedding season, and we know youÔÇÖre putting together some great ring displays. Want to know some of our favorites?

Finger Displays. This type of display is excellent for showing ring sets, or a line of wedding rings or bands. These work well in a showcase or on a jewelry display table, and come with a few options. ThereÔÇÖs the single ring finger display, the double, the five-finger and the 12-finger ring display. The smaller finger displays are best suited for wedding sets, or special engagement rings you want to set apart from the others. The larger displays work very well for displaying different styles of rings or organizing them by cut, carat, or color.

Dual ring finger displays are perfect for wedding sets!

Jewelry Boxes on Risers. This works very well for window displays and creates an elegant, eye-grabbing look that will draw your customers in for another look. Find a riser set and some high-quality jewelry boxes that matches your decor, arrange in your front window and display your rings!

jewelry risers — Jewelry boxes on risers are a great ring display!

Ring Risers. There are risers that are specifically created for rings. They typically have a ring flap, and you place the ring behind this ring flap to keep it secure. This look works well for both window displays and even inside of a showcase.

Slot Displays. This type of display is ideal for use within a showcase and perfect for ┬ádisplaying a line of engagement rings or wedding bands. ┬áThese are typically angled displays, which makes it easier for your customers to view and browse your jewelry. Rings easily slide into the slots on the display, and are easy for you to remove and show to interested customers.

Five slot ring displays are excellent for a line of engagement rings or wedding bands.

Those are a few of our favorites! What are your favorite ways to display rings for wedding season (or any time of the year)?
