I have been poking around in the forums a bit recently, while at the same time wondering why my Rainbow Heart Crayons had not sold after a week of listing them (the basic shape has been my most sold item). After a shopping trip and several impulse purchases, I found the perfect way to add to these listings without charging a penny more!
I found these wonderful pink and red mailboxes and some cute tissue paper to package with the crayons and voila! I had four sales of Rainbow Crayons today!
This got me thinking... with a little more effort, a lot of sellers items could really take off. Many shops package their items with precision and care, adding that "finishing touch." I was then on my way to discover shops that offered me a little more...
My main inspiration for this article comes from Etsian, Raisinlike, who gives other sellers the opportunity to send her promo items and business cards and coupons to include in a Promo Pack she ships with some of her larger orders. What a cool idea is this?! It is going to be my goal soon to make my business cards and send her samples of my Rainbow Crayons to include!
I then decided to post in the "Crafting and Business" forum asking to see shops who package things in a special way. Here are some of the unique and eye-catching things that I found...
Coonies has special handmade boxes with fun cards.
SarahsSky posted this thread about "New Packaging Photos" and was great to read! She posted a stained glass pendant that had a picture of the box it came with. The silver name plate on the box was a great touch!
Shayaaron promotes their shop through Raisinlike's promo pack with these rings and Moo's.

Stonesandstarling packages her jewelry in these very cute boxes.
Gigglinggoldfish packages her pendants in cute containers, then in a brown box with a label and ribbon. Very well put together in my opinion. The containers for the pendants match the pendants too!
SmellsandBells wraps her soaps individually with cute paper, clearly labeled information, and a unique ribbon tie.
Sweetgracieforme carries a variety of bath and body products in her shop. This is a sample of her packaging!
MyBotique has new packaging for her products! Sobenarts created the logo and pixelbypixel created the stickers.
Check out these suppliers and Etsy Shops as well!
The Mayberry Sparrow (custom stamps) ETSY
Trails of Paper (Wonderful selection of envelopes, tags, and papers) ETSY
These are all very inspiring to me and I will be posting more as I find them in my hunt. Please add links to your items in the "comments" section if you have a picture or listing to share that might be a great example! I would love to hear feedback as well on what you think about these items I have listed and if you think nice things that "complete" the order are a good thing or a bad thing.
***Thanks to ANORIGINALJEWELRY for her forum thread today. Many of these tips and links were found because of the response.
