more packaging discussion
after a great deal of back and forth, and having samples sent to me, and so on....
i decided on THIS plastic bag. Its made in the USA (most printed plastic bags are not), made from recycled plastics, and easily recyclable, printed with non toxic inks, and etc.. it also looks nicer in person than in the photo.
with burgundy and gold tissue it would look very Christmas/Yule etc...
with the right blues and pastels etc it could do spring. a bit bolder for summer.. some golds and oranges and reds for fall....it should do me for year round use with just a change of tissue paper.
so its about as versatile as the silvery swirl one i was looking at (the one i used at the old store) BUT. made in the USA not China..... and has recycled content. and as a plus, its about half the price!
so we will call that a win.
white boxes, with stickers on them as needed.... i am trying to choose sizes that can fit into my jewelry trays! that way i can just put the pendants out IN the boxes and take the whole box out for sale. we shall see if it works.
still fiddling with the ribbon selection, but i want to make it as easy as possible for my customers to know what bin to put it in for recycling/composting. i am trying to keep all the ribbon in one category (paper or plastic) but i may need to mix them.
