Create A Christmas Tin With All The Right Trimmings

Welcome to Part 2 of our festive planning series. It’s time to dive deeper into your choices when it comes to Christmas packaging. Previously, we’ve explored custom Christmas packaging possibilities. But what about standard stock tins?

What decisions do you need to consider here?

Colour 

First, consider the colour of your packaging. Certain shades and designs are perfect for Christmas. For instance, silver, red and gold candle tins will all look incredible and match the festive theme perfectly. Dress these up with ribbons bows, or let them stand alone for a modern, minimalistic aesthetic appeal. 

Labelling 

The easiest way to decorate stock tins is with labelling. Create labels with a festive flair using different Christmas designs and imagery. Remember, labels provide an opportunity to tell your customers a story. This is a quick path towards higher engagement levels. The devil is in the details. You might want to test and try a few different labels before settling on the right choice for your festive campaign.

Bells & Whistles

As mentioned, there are lots of different accessories you can explore to add a little extra flair and texture to your metal tin packaging. Ribbons work beautifully for the festive season. Or, you might want to consider more outlandish choices like sticky. You just need to maintain your brand identity and avoid an aesthetic which makes the product look cheap or of a low quality.

Other accessory choices include: 

• Festive string 

• Twine

• Fake mistletoe

• Magnetic lid toppers

• Limited edition holiday labels
  And more

Marketing 

Once you settle on your packaging design and dress it up to fit the festive season, you can start using it in your marketing. Take some shots for your website banner, consider a video highlighting products in their festive packaging and group shots. Use this for social media, YouTube videos, Google Ads, and much more. This will help ensure that your marketing materials stand out more while getting people in the mood for Christmas shopping. 

Add To The Unboxing Experience 

Finally, you might want to consider looking for ways to elevate or even extend the unboxing experience. For instance, you could add an extra lawyer to your packaging. Instead of simply selling candle tins, consider placing the tins inside a beautiful, decorative cardboard box. This adds wonder and beauty to the product and creates packaging that is a gift in itself. This is exactly the type of standout element customers are looking for when shopping for Christmas items. 

We hope this helps you understand some of the key points to consider when decorating stock packaging for the festive season. Remember, it all starts with your choice of container. You need to consider:

• Quality

• Price 

• Practicality
