Nashville Wraps, a name synonymous with quality and dependable service, stands steadfast in the industry as a true partner to gift basket businesses worldwide.
Based in Hendersonville, Tennessee, this firm is the “go to” group for cellophane, shrink wrap, shred, tote bags, and hundreds of other supplies we select on a daily basis for gift basket design.
It’s a real treat to have them here today to answer questions that let you know who they are (if you’re new to the industry) and confirm their dedication (if you’re familiar with their products and service).
Q: What makes your company one that designers choose for bags, bows, shrink wrap, and other supplies?
NW: We are one of the few packaging companies that has in-house designers that help create our exclusive designer collections. This makes the job for gift basket designers easier because they can get a coordinated look to which they simply add creative gift basket touches.
Our Green Way® eco-friendly packaging offers designers one of the largest selections of recycled, sustainable and/or natural products available.
Q: What’s the most-common question that designers ask when ordering for the first time, and what is your response?
NW: Many new designers want to know what type and how much filler to put in their gift baskets, basket boxes or containers. They also want to know if we recommend basket size cello bags or cello rolls.
Since it depends on the container, we recommend calling our helpful Customer Care Department at 1-800-547-9727.
Q: What’s new this year in your inventory for gift baskets, something you’ve added that wasn’t available in 2009?
NW: We’ve had several customers purchase our new 100% Cotton Hot Dots Totes as a reusable gift basket alternative. Click this link to see the Hot Dots Totes.
Q: What’s the strangest product you’ve been asked to stock, either by a wholesaler or retailer, which you turned down because it was too “out there?”
NW: We’ve been asked to carry some strange things over the years. We’re open to most ideas!
Q: What are some of the unique and helpful areas on your Web site that designers may not know exist?
NW: On our website in the right margin under Specialty Packaging Pages you can find a gift basket supplies link, and there’s more:
