Christmas Gift Boxes
Save time when wrapping presents: Printed gift boxes are not only perfect for festive promotional items, but are also suitable for use in retail.
“Would you like the items gift-wrapped?” – in the run-up to Christmas especially, customers at the checkout will almost always answer “Yes, please!”. Cue chaos: your employees pull wrapping paper from an oversized roll, place your customers’ products on it, fold the paper, fold it again, and again … until it’s finally fixed in place with adhesive tape and, given all the stress, hopefully still looks good.
But there is a way to save yourself and your employees all this extra time: with printed gift boxes in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, your goods can be attractively packaged in just two or three quick steps.
Advantages of gift boxes over wrapping paper
Of course, the biggest advantage of gift boxes compared to classic wrapping paper is the time saved at the checkout. And not only does this make your staff’s daily routine easier, but it may even increase your sales, too: the shorter the queue, the more relaxed your customers will be as they shop – and the more goods will pass over your counter.
But gift boxes also offer clear benefits in terms of style: with printed gift boxes, your layout will always appear on the box in the same way. This means you decide exactly where the festive elements, your logo and cheerful sayings are positioned. And compared to wrapping paper, they are even better protected because the sturdy cardboard boxes do not tear as easily.
So the benefits of gift boxes are that …
… your employees save time and hassle,
… your customers don’t have to queue as long at the checkout,
… your customers are more relaxed as they shop,
… gifts are not wrapped unattractively because of the rush,
… you always have full control over the appearance of your packaged goods,
… the contents of the gift boxes are better protected.
Small gift boxes: sliding boxes and pillow packs
Sweets, jewellery, ties, perfume, fine teas … good gifts don’t have to be huge. And neither do good gift boxes! Because even the smallest box offers enough space for your individual print. So far, the following have been particularly popular in the 2022 season:
Sliding boxes
Admittedly, sliding boxes have not only been popular this last year. After all, it goes without saying that these gift boxes are particularly sturdy and are not destroyed when opened. This means that watches, ties, perfume packs and other small gifts can be taken out, looked at and pushed back in again.
Pillow packs
It’s true that pillow packs are a little illogical: the closure is awkward and the pillow shape means that the space inside is not used optimally. But isn’t that precisely what somehow makes for a good gift box? With a pillow pack, you show a healthy amount of extravagance – with all the style and none of the pomp.
Medium-sized gift boxes: mug boxes and telescopic boxes
If you want a little more, but not too much: mug boxes are the perfect place to put mugs – OK, that’s a no-brainer. Meanwhile, socks, underwear, shirts, a mix of candies, a selection of your most popular promotional items or other small sales items can be packed in telescopic boxes in a way that is not only particularly elegant but also convenient.
Mug boxes
Regardless of whether they are made of particularly fine porcelain for the Sunday tea service or robust ceramic for a student kitchen, ever since it has been possible to produce cups in large quantities, mugs have also been popular gifts. And why not – they are practical, remind users again and again of the nice gesture and often last for decades. And with festively printed mug boxes, your customers no longer have to worry about how best to wrap the mugs in wrapping paper. Because that never really works out well.
Telescopic boxes in special shapes
The specially shaped telescopic boxes immediately evoke associations with little sweets and candies. Use this for your gift boxes to give your customers a unique moment of surprise during the festive gift-giving. Boutiques could use the hexagonal telescopic boxes to package underwear, socks, belts, shirts or blouses particularly elegantly. If you print festive motifs on the top and your contact details on the bottom, you’re sure to attract attention at Christmas.
Large gift boxes: cardboard cases
Cardboard cases make the ideal gift box for all slightly larger presents, such as electronic goods, toys or household items. The great thing about them is that the sturdy cases made of corrugated cardboard can hold a lot of weight – even a heavy reflex camera, a cast-iron pan or a games console are no problem. Conveniently, the brown or white cardboard cases are delivered to you lying flat – so you can store them in a particularly space-saving way. And during the Christmas shopping season, your employees can fold up the portable gift boxes in no time at all.
Of course, this is just a tiny selection of the many printable gift boxes available. Whether it’s a hair care set, wine bottles or cuddly toys – there are suitable gift boxes for every conceivable item. Take a look at the overview page in the FLYERALARM shop:
