Unique Confectionery Packaging To Impress Your Clients
Promotional Confectionery used to be limited to the basic packaging of clear cell bags or small paper bags and boxes. In recent years the packaging has become a lot more creative and as a consequence, there are many styles now that are also relevant to particular businesses. We thought it would be good to highlight some of the more innovative packaging ideas, along with what type of business could use these in their next promotion.
Carry On Cases: These are terrific little packaging ideas. They look just like carry-on luggage people would take onto an aeroplane. They have a little carry handle, little wheels and a clear front to showcase the confectionery inside. They are perfect for anyone in the travel industry, whether it be an airline or a travel agent. There is a wide range of confectionery you can pick from to put inside including jelly beans, mints and chewy fruits.
Syringes: They look just like the real thing (but without the needle!). The plunger can be removed so the confectionery can be released. A yummy choice of much favourite confectionery including chocolate beans, M&M’s, jelly beans and chewy fruits to name a few. The obvious companies these would relate to are hospitals and doctors to add a bit of fun.
Light Bulbs: These are perfect for anyone wanting to promote that “light bulb moment”. They can also be used by electricians or the building industry as both are very relevant. They look like a light bulb, but they aren’t going to give you 240 volts. Instead, they come with tasty fillings such as skittles, mints, chewy fruits and choc beans to name a few. Be a bright spark and use these for your next promotion.
Test Tubes: Another unique packaging idea is test tubes. They fit a small amount of confectionery and you can get them with a screw top and pull off lids. Again, the choice of confectionery fillings is vast, ranging from jelly beans, mini chocolates, musks, skittles and more.
Paint Tins: The obvious ones for this are painters, but they would also suit people who want to add a “splash of colour”. They are made of tin with pull-off lids and come in a range of sizes. You can get 500ml, 1 litre and huge 6-litre cans that also have handles to carry them. You can get acid drops, toffees, mints, lollipops and even popcorn. You could give a larger tin to a client and you have an excuse to come back every six months to fill the tin back up for them.
Champagne Bottles: These are perfect for anyone celebrating an occasion. Birthdays, anniversaries or special occasion days. They are also ideal for companies wanting to tell clients to “celebrate” because of a new product they have launched. You can get a wraparound label printed, giving you plenty of advertising space and they have all the regular options of yummy candy fillings.
There are so many unique packaging options nowadays, there is no excuse to be boring. Make an impact and choose a special shape of packaging relevant to your business.
