Plan for Father's Day

Father's Day is the biggest grooming gift season. Order kit boxes and filler well ahead.

Fill the kit box

Use shredded kraft paper so products sit up and can't move.

Use tins for solids

Aluminium tins are a simple, reusable choice for balms, waxes and solid colognes.

Label to scale

Custom labels on stock tins and boxes keep costs low while your range grows.
