Buying guide

Tips from packaging experts.

Practical advice for the Christmas season.

Order early

Packaging demand peaks from October. Ordering early gives you the best choice of stock.

Allow time for custom printing

Custom printed ribbon, boxes and bags need artwork approval and production time. Start well before December.

Forecast from last year

Use last year's Christmas sales to estimate how many bags, boxes and rolls you'll need, then add a buffer.

Keep it simple at the counter

Christmas bags with tissue are much faster than full wrapping in the final week.
