14 Packaging Products: Every Gift-Giver Must Have

It’s already the last week in November, which means the holidays are here! Can you believe it?! The holidays are my inspiration for this post. With gifts being given, you’ll want to be prepared with a few ways to package up a treat or other small gift quickly. Here’s a list of packaging products that every gift giver must own. Keep them all together in a box or tote, that way you’ll always know where to find them:

Bags: Bags make a quick, easy way to throw a gift together quickly. Place an item in the bag and tie it off with a bow… and voila! You’re done. Here’s a few bags we think are worth having.

• 1. C-2 Clear Cellophane Bags: Because everything looks better in cellophane.
• 2. Honeycomb Middy Treat Bags: Perfect size for cookies and other treats.
  
• 3. Chevron Stripe Bitty Bags: This size fits a Gygi Gift Card nicely inside.

Boxes: Boxes have a way of up-scaling a gift. If it’s boxed, it looks a little nicer. Check out some of these boxes that are perfect for packaging:

• 5. Chinese Take-Out Containers: A fun, unique way to approach gift giving. Here’s a fun snowman idea you should definitely check out.
• 6. 1/2 lb. White Candy Box: For a simple classic look.
• 7. 1/4 lb. Red Candy Box: Same as the white candy box, just with a little pizazz!
• 8. Blue Cupcake Box: Who doesn’t love a cupcake? Especially one that has been boxed up just for you!
• 9. 6″ Window Cake Box: Giving to families? Then these fun windowed cake boxes are just what you need.

Accessories: Packaging accessories come in handy, especially when you are using cellophane bags!

• 10. Red Polka Dot Candy Cups: Or any color for that matter. But how great are these candy cups? Stand up a few caramel-dipped pretzels and place them in a cellophane bag, and you’ve just accessorized your packaging!
• 11. Baking Cups: Everyone needs a few different styles of baking cups on hand. Which ones are your favorite?

Finishing Touches:

• 12. Baker’s Twine: Who needs ribbon when you have bakers twine? Especially since you are giving homemade treats… nothing goes better.
• 13. Washi Tape: A fun way to add some personality to any packaged gift.
• 14. Gift Tags: No package is complete without a friendly tag attached.
