andrealh1975 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 In a few months I'm going to start offering these floaters, http://pourette.com/product.asp?Product_Id=27566&d_Id=6941&l1=6936&l2=6941, does anyone have any suggestions on how to package them? Shrink wrapping is the only thing I can think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I'm assuming you're going to be selling them in small lots right? Like 4 or 6 or something? Would they fit in those acrylic tubes? Or how about the acrylic tealight boxes? Sorry I looked at the pic. but I didn't read the dimensions.Although I like the way shrink wrapped products look, I hate that I almost always ruin whatever it is I'm trying to open when they're shrink wrapped. JMODo you use these yourself? I'm just wondering how many people actually use these? I've seen them a long time ago in dishes etc on people's tables (well in ads and such) but I've never used them myself or actually seen them in anyone's house, so I was just curious about them.

andrealh1975 Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 I'm thinking of selling them in singles and/or packages of 3. I've used them myself before I started making candles. I've had a huge request for them and tart warmers. I have a potter is going to make some warmers for me. I'm thinking I may end up shrink wrapping, but I just wanted to get some other ideas.

sockmonkey Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I don't know how deep they are, but could you use a stationary box? You know the kind cardboard bottom with a clear acetate top, usually with an elastic cord bow wrapped around the box. That would glam them up.Would a plain cellophane bag work just as well as shrinkwrap for you? I've seen packaging with a pipecleaner type twist with added elements such as silk bows, or flowers, even keys or miniature animals, snowflakes, etc. glued to it, that makes for a nice presentation.

I might try a couple of things and see which looks best. Thanks for the help. If anyone else has suggestion, please keep em coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make the cardboard look better wrap with tissue paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
