Christmas is a holiday that comes with all the excitement, celebration and most importantly to the brands, a dramatic increase in product demands every year. Be it a retailer, a bakery, a gift shop or an online shop, it is at Christmas that packaging contributes big in terms of increasing sales. However, festive designs, high quality finishes and boxes which one feels like a gift-wrapped item at the point of sale are natural attractions to the customers. And this is precisely why placing orders on personalized Christmas boxes in advance will not be a suggestion, but a business choice.

Seasonal packaging needs are already being processed in September and towards the end of November, the majority of the suppliers experience longer manufacturing periods, run out of inventory and over-stamped printing lines. This hurry is undervalued by many brands and it has to resort to sacrifices in quality or using generic boxes. There is no time to lose because you want to make more conversions, outsell your rivals and offer your goods a high-quality unboxing experience.

Why Do Christmas Boxes Boost Conversions?

The reason why custom Christmas boxes are more than seasonal decoration is because they have already been a successful conversion strategy. Festive packaging is more desired by customers as they can easily give them as gifts. Moreover, an attractive box does not require any wrapping paper, ribbons or any extra efforts and of course makes the product seem more valuable. Your product might be packed in a plain box, but your product in a Christmas-themed box is a selling experience.

Imagine the sense of time constraint that holiday packaging has. It causes impulse purchase, appeals to emotions and leads your product to be purchased as opposed to that of the rival. A box that appears Christmas-ready is not a container but it becomes a part of the gift. It is the emotional attachment that leads to dramatic conversions in the season. The better the design, the more high-end your brand will look and the more price customers will be ready to contribute. The result? More sales during festive periods and customer loyalty.

Why Must You Order Early?

The biggest flaw that brands commit is the idea that the custom packaging can be created immediately. The fact is that packaging manufacturers have the busiest time of the year at the time of Christmas. However, scheduling moves end closer, customisation orders become overcrowded and order timeframes become incredibly low.

Early ordering means that you are guaranteed production space, your boxes arrive on time and you do not have to face disappointing delays. Most UK suppliers cease taking Christmas orders by some point of time as they are unable to make the guarantee of delivery before the holidays. By being on time you will not have to be stressed at the last minute and you will not be in hurry with the designs nor overcharging because it is peak season.

Successful festive selling is based on planning. When your stock is delivered too late, you are not able to sell it in the best shopping season of the year. December is superfast and super-available: the customers need to shop immediately and the brands must be ready to get packed. Do not wait till the seasonal hype sets in. Your competitors won’t.

What to Include in Your Custom Christmas Box?

When you are now ready to make your order, make certain that your Christmas boxes have the elements that count most in regards to festive branding and customer attractiveness. Use colours that immediately give you the season such as rich reds, greens, gold foils, silvers and winter whites. These sounds will make your products touch the sky and be noticed among others.

Add next patterns or icons that will emphasize Christmas e.g. snowflakes, stars, reindeers, holly leaves or fancy typography. Minimalist brands tend to be more inclined to clean designs with shimmering embossing or spot UV accents whereas bold brands are inclined toward bright prints and frivolous graphical themes.

There is the element of putting your logo on the front line to ensure that customers relate to your brand as a sign of happiness during the holiday. You may also add your personal touches such as Merry Christmas, Holiday Edition or Special Festive Pack. These facts will make your packaging look exclusive and limited, and make it more desirable.

You might also include some festival tissue paper in the box, card inserts or print liners to enhance the experience of unboxing. Even the simple touches such as eco-friendly kraft boards using gold stamping would help make your boxes sound luxurious and gift-like. Your products be it cosmetics, candles, chocolates, clothing, jewellery or bakery articles will be bought more by Christmas packaging and the customers will not forget you as soon as the season is over.

How to Order Custom Christmas Boxes Easily?

The ordering procedure is pretty easy. Begin by choosing your box style whether you need gift boxes, tuck-end boxes, rigid boxes or drawer boxes. 

After you have chosen the style, now you can pick your material. Kraft and recycled cardboard are useful for eco-conscious brands. In the case of luxury brands, the best upscale box is a rigid box with a magnetic-closure lid.

Now comes the design stage. Give your artwork or request assistance to our design team at PackagingBull to create a festive theme that would portray your brand. Our experts provide free design assistance or templates to hasten the process.

Once you have finalised your design, make your order before the production deadlines elapse. The majority of suppliers demand the acceptance of physical or electronic evidence and therefore, this saves time. After approval, it goes to printing then it is cut and finished and shipped.

Those brands that place orders early receive faster delivery, better prices and assured delivery. Waiters lose their potential Christmas sales – and frequently must settle with old generic inventory.
