Tara Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Never thought of it yet I'd rather do it myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Most peopel here would rather do it theirselves....thats most of the fun. I am ALL ABOUT the packaging! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simplysoaps Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 i am no help because i get a local guy to do it, as soon as i can get pictures put on here i will start displaying it. He designed my entire concept, business cards and we are working on brochures. He is not a graphic designer he is a printer who does graphic design work, so that keeps the cost down. Maybe check out printers where you live to see if they have suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candleessence Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I have to admit I have considered having someone else design my packaging. When I looked into the cost though it was way too much since Im just starting out. Printers & graphic designers are your best bet if you are interested in doing that-it's a great leg up if your "packaging challenged" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyl55 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 My stuff is evolving. Make changes everytime I print out a label. Little tweek here and there. Always felt too constricted if I went outside. Then would be forced to use 100s of labels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1 Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 Don't feel bad. So am I. I have gotton a lot of good ideas from other peoples packaging.me too. maybe i am being too hard on myself in this area. but i do know that many people buy things only because of the presentation of it not because of the content. ask me how i know....i am one of those people. i am aiming for a look that would look nice on any shelf, not too upscale, not too cheesy, but just right. am i making any sense here...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candleessence Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Not only are you making sense but that is exactly the way marketing people think. Appeal to the masses. I also am constantly changing my labels & such. I've had this business less then a year & have changed things twice already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
