The holiday season is not just a time for giving—it’s a time for selling. For brands, this means creating packaging that captivates customers at first glance, tells a compelling story, and ultimately drives purchases. At Printex Transparent Packaging (PTP), we specialize in making your holiday packaging dreams a reality, offering a full suite of services, from prototyping to design services, packaging printing manufacturing, and co-packing. Let’s explore how some of our products—clear boxes, window boxes, and paperboard packaging— all of which can be turned into holiday gift boxes, bring festive flair to your holiday offerings, and help boost your seasonal sales.

Why Holiday Packaging Matters

The holiday season is one of the busiest shopping periods of the year, with consumer spending reaching billions annually. Packaging plays a significant role in purchasing decisions, with studies showing that 70% of consumers say packaging design influences their buying choices. Eye-catching, functional, and holiday-themed packaging can make your product stand out in crowded retail spaces, fostering an emotional connection and driving impulse purchases.

PTP’s Holiday Packaging Solutions

Clear Boxes: Elegance Meets Transparency

Perfect for showcasing beautifully crafted products, our clear boxes add a modern, premium touch to holiday packaging. Whether it’s seasonal treats, ornaments, or gift sets, clear boxes highlight the product inside while protecting it. Combine these with festive inserts or holiday-themed labels for an elevated unboxing experience.

Window Boxes: Show and Sell

Window boxes are ideal for teasing the contents of your product without fully revealing the surprise. They provide structure and branding opportunities while allowing a glimpse of the magic inside. Think holiday chocolates, candles, or small toys—packaged to entice and delight.

Paperboard Packaging: Festive Versatility

Our paperboard packaging is a holiday favorite for its versatility and affordability. A standout example is advent calendars with paperboard folding boxes. Designed to hold small surprises, these low-cost solutions are perfect for brands looking to add an interactive element to their seasonal offerings. From beauty products to confectioneries, advent calendars are a creative way to engage consumers and build excitement for your brand throughout the season.

Holiday Advent Box Packaging

Did you know that a well-designed holiday advent box can boost your sales and deepen brand loyalty? With 12-24 days of engagement, it’s a storytelling tool that keeps your brand top of mind. Plus, the time-sensitive nature of advent calendars creates urgency, driving immediate sales. How do you plan to use festive packaging to captivate your audience this season? Your advent calendar can tie back into the “storytelling” of your brand.

Your One-Stop Holiday Packaging Partner

At PTP, we simplify the entire packaging process. With design services, we ensure your packaging is not only functional but also visually stunning and on-brand. Our prototyping services allow you to test and refine your concepts before going to production. Once approved, our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities bring your designs to life with precision and quality. Finally, we offer co-packing services, taking the stress out of assembly and distribution so you can focus on your business.

Tips for Creative Holiday Packaging

Looking for inspiration for your holiday packaging this year? Here are a few ideas to spark your creativity:

  • Festive Colors and Patterns: Incorporate traditional holiday hues like red, green, gold, or silver, or opt for modern pastel palettes for a fresh take.
  • Interactive Features: Advent calendars, scratch-and-sniff, peel-and-reveal elements, or holiday trivia printed on packaging can enhance the customer experience.
  • Eco-Friendly Options: Sustainable packaging remains a key priority for consumers. Paperboard packaging, especially, offers an environmentally conscious option that doesn’t sacrifice style.
  • Personalization: Add a custom touch with name tags, handwritten notes, or QR codes linking to special holiday messages or promotions.

Holiday Packaging Deadlines

Traditional lead times and planning schedules are no longer the benchmarks. Since the Pandemic and other world events, shipments have been delayed by weeks and months, putting at risk of hitting key dates to sell into seasonal markets, Christmas Retail Packaging planning should be happening now! Economists expect shipping problems to linger well into 2022. Shipping costs are 6x more than the pre-pandemic norm! Backlogs and elevated shipping costs are likely to persist past next Christmas. We at Printex Transparent Packaging recommend three key helpful hints:
  • Plan early
  • Buy early
  • Buy domestic

Sustainable Packaging Material Matters

Yes, sustainability matters to customers as well as to manufacturers. You want your customers to still see your product and be dazzled by your fantastic packaging that draws them to your product. Especially during holiday retail Christmas! Yet, your company wants to comply with increased sustainability goals and still compete for attention on the shelf! Today, consumers want to invest in a brand mission. Eco-conscious holiday packaging is an excellent branding tool that allows you to meet all your packaging goals.
