 Are you ready to add a little colour to your paper shopping bags? | creativebag.com

Do you use kraft or white paper shopping bags for your business?

Kraft and white paper shoppers are the most commonly used used paper shoppers by retailers and small businesses. And if white or kraft bags work best with your branding then we've got lots of sizes of paper shoppers for you!

But if you want to stand out from the crowd or do something a little different for a special promotion or seasonal event check out our great selection of coloured paper shoppers!

Black kraft paper shoppers are an elegant choice for year round use. And with Halloween just around the corner, these black bags would make a great addition to seasonal visual merchandising presentations.

Every bunny will love these Easter packaging ideas

Easter packaging ideas every bunny will love | creativebag.com

There's something about packaging edible Easters gifts that just makes us happy. Maybe it's because we know that so many little people are going to be really excited to receive these adorable gifts or maybe it's because we get to sample some of the sweet treats that are being packaged. Either way, here's some ideas for Easter gift packaging that we think every "bunny" will love.

Cone shaped bags and boxes are perfect for Easter packaging because they naturally look like "carrots". You can get creative and package cone shaped containers with orange and green sweets to look like carrots or just fill them with lots of spring like colours to give them an Easter theme.

Here's what you'll need: cone bags, treats and/or baked goods of your choice, twist ties, scissors and materials like ribbon, twine, wraphia and tissue paper to create the "carrot top".

Fill the cone bags with treats and add a twist tie to seal for freshness.

If the bag is too long it is very easy to cut it down using scissors as shown above.

In this sample, we added a tissue paper fringe detail to the top of the bag and added another twist tie to keep the tissue paper fringe in place.

To finish we added a ribbon bow to hide the twist tie.

Now lets display those adorable carrots so they can be used as a centre piece for holiday entertaining. We added chocolate brown sizzle to clear glassware and placed the "carrot" favours into the vase to look like they were growing out of the ground. The chalkboard sign was hand lettered for us by Autumn Grey Designs.

Here's a little tip for filling the cone bags: Place the cone bags in a tall glass and use a candy scoop to add candies to the bags. If you'd like to add something like these cute cookies from Mad Batter Bakers you may want/need to add something smaller like candies to the bottom of the bag so that the bottom of the bag fills out.

You can do the same thing using cone shaped boxes. Here we filled the boxes with layers of orange and green candies to look like carrots. Make sure that you fill the boxes right to the top so that the candies do not move around.

We used cone favor boxes, candies, scissors and assorted colours of green wraphia.

Once you have filled the cone boxes with sweets, add wraphia to the top of the box ...

and finish with a bow.

These look sweet displayed in the glassware with sizzle as well and would make a sweet Easter display idea for home entertaining or as a retail display idea.

 If you are a retailer, add a chalkboard sign to these display ideas so customers can easily shop your Easter themed treats. 

Holiday Tip for Retailers: Add white pompoms to inexpensive kraft shoppers and style tissue paper in the bags to look like bunny ears for the weeks leading up to Easter.  Your customers will love that you've done the holiday gift packaging for them.

 Have you used our packaging products in your Easter gift packaging? We'd love to see what you've done. Show us on Instagram using #creativebaginspire and @creativebagco.

Wrapping Paper DIY idea - Jewellery Display Cones

Tuesday, 19 September 2017

DIY jewellery display cones using wrapping paper | Creative Bag

Here's a simple DIY project using wrapping paper that is both beautiful and functional. If you make and sell handcrafted jewellery these display cones will come in handy for craft markets and to style your products for photography.

Here's what you'll need: 
Paper mache cones (available at most art supply stores), wrapping paper, scissors, two-sided tape, a ruler and a pencil.
Note: Wrapping paper patterns shown are from our holiday(tree farm, kraft wood grain) and everyday (gold hearts, white with gold dots) collections.

1. Cut wrapping paper to fit the cone as shown above making sure that there is enough length to fit completely around the cone. Add a piece of two sided tape along the cone as shown above.

2. Place the cone with the two-sided tape down onto the centre back of the wrapping paper. Hold a pencil on the bottom of the cone. Roll the cone while holding the pencil in place to draw the curve of the cone onto the wrapping paper. Trim the paper along the curved line.

3. Roll the paper on one side around the cone. Trim the paper to fit as shown above and use two sided tape to keep the wrapping paper in place. Continue on the other side of the cone to finish.

This is how the back of the cone should look when you are finished. If you want to change the wrapping paper at some point just remove the paper or cover it up and start all over again! Use assorted sizes of paper mache cones to give your display height or, if you have space, incorporate gift boxes into your display to give the cones more dimension.

Here's some more products that are great for displaying products in holiday markets and in styled shoots ... chalkboards, gift boxes, faux antler card holders, mini lights. 


For inspiration, here's how we used the DIY jewellery display cones in a holiday styled shoot recently with some local Etsy Makers:
