gift baskets sell at all pricesWhen attending trade shows, do you search for product packaging that can be altered with your own label or one promoting your clients?

Manufacturers make sure that the ingredients sticker is attached to the packaging, as required by law, but the front of the package is label free so that you can attach your a label to create customized gift baskets.

Corporate clients appreciate this option to brand their businesses throughout the year and specifically during the holidays. It’s an idea many designers capitalize on each season, and wholesalers are providing this option more and more.

I used to make my own labels using my laser printer, but it’s too much work when you’re creating hundreds of baskets at one time. Now I have label manufacturers create the labels for me. The finished product looks professional and is easily added onto cans, jars, bags, and other containers.

Is it time for you to consider a private label program? The easiest way to start is by attaching custom labels to products in bags, such as nut and snack mixes. Exhibitors at gift and food trade shows frequently display products that are perfect for custom labeling, so put this option on your list to check as you browse each aisle.
