Kite has fully embraced the festive spirit as we head into the final weeks before Christmas. We recognize the urgency of ensuring those last-minute special gifts arrive safely and look their best when presented. Whether you’re a small business owner or simply gifting something meaningful, it’s important to balance security with presentation—especially when it comes to delicate handmade items.
Handmade gifts hold significant sentimental value, which makes their packaging just as important as the item itself. If you're sending out coasters, mugs, or any other fragile crafts, you’ll want to ensure they not only arrive intact but also make an impression. That's where we come in!
Today, we’ll dive into a common concern among artisans and small businesses alike—how to package delicate handmade goods while keeping them looking elegant enough for gift-giving. Let me share a recent consultation I had with a fellow craft enthusiast who was struggling with this exact issue...
Dear Doctor,
I hope you can assist me. Recently, I’ve begun selling handmade coasters online, and I’m searching for a packaging solution that keeps them safe during transport while still appearing attractive—since many buyers order these as presents. These coasters are truly special, and I’d love for them to stand out as such when received. At the same time, I’m worried about breakage during shipping. Could you recommend something that combines protection with elegance?
Thank you so much,
Rebecca
Hello Rebecca,
Thank you for reaching out! Your concern is one many creators face, and I’m happy to guide you toward a solution that works for both safety and style.
First off, let’s talk about the presentation. For handmade goods like yours, the packaging should reflect the care and craftsmanship that went into creating the product. White postal boxes are always a great starting point—they’re neutral, professional-looking, and versatile. Consider opting for 110 x 100 x 70 mm boxes with a snug fit; these are lightweight yet sturdy enough to protect your coasters. You might also add some color by lining the box interiors with tissue paper. Not only does this add flair, but it also cushions your items during transit.
Speaking of color, why not go the extra mile? Our acid-free tissue paper comes in a variety of vibrant shades—from classic white to bold reds and greens for the holidays. Personalizing each order with complementary colors can elevate your brand and show customers how much thought goes into every detail.
Moving onto protection, no discussion about fragile items would be complete without mentioning fragile labels. These stickers alert couriers to handle packages gently, reducing the risk of mishandling. They’re easy to apply and affordable too!
Lastly, don’t forget about the little extras that can take your packaging from good to great. A thank-you note or branded sticker adds a personal touch that recipients will surely appreciate.
Hope this helps set you on the right track!
Best regards, The Packaging Doctor
