1. If you choose to buy ready made bags and boxes, look into custom printing. It can be relatively inexpensive to have your logo and web address on your packaging from printers such as www.pottersuk.com And looks very professional.

  2. If you make your packaging, use paper and card with patterns with on that match the feel of your products, the colour of your logo, etc.

  3. Make sure your packaging has your contact details on, just in case your customer doesn't pick up- or misplaces- your business card.

  4. If you offer a gitwrapping service, make it extra special! Get crafty with homemade papers or even fabric, ribbons and embellishments. Make opening the gift just as special as the item itself!

  5. Use your business cards as gift tags. You can print your own or use professionally printed ones such as Moo Cards from www.moo.com. Simply hole punch and tie a ribbon through.
