Creating a Professional Looking Package

This was my first attempt at making my packaging look more professional.

So all of my creations go out in packaging that looks like this.

I try to create something pretty & professional but with little cost. People LOVE the way their jewelry comes to them and they can even reuse what I sent them - then you get props for being Green and Eco Friendly.

I picked up the bags - black and white - and little cream boxes at Walmart in the section for wedding favors on sale $7 for 50 boxes, $3 for 50 bags. Talk about saving a bundle! You can find savings anywhere though; eBay's awesome for this.

I already had the little $11 stamp (comes with two cases of letters; more than enough) and just fashioned the words to fit closely together. Hint: when you're done with one label, use a little Dawn dishwashing soap and the ink (no matter how old) will come right off!! This saves you the cost of replacing the little letters which of course if they no longer make your stamp - they don't make mine - then you'll end up buying a whole new one.

When you're putting information on labels make sure the most pertinent information was on the labels. Your company name should stand out.

The labels I also picked up for a steal - $15 at Pearls for 1000. The little labels are very smooth and well cut around the edges with little strings to attach them to the bags.

Always be on the lookout for deals and KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS FOR EVERYTHING!
