We are officially halfway to the 2018 holiday season, and now is the time to get your holiday packaging items ordered. Even though we all love summer and the warm weather that’s associated with the season, the holiday months give us the opportunity to reinvent our packaging collection that reflects the colder months ahead.

If you are looking for designs, trends and colors that will fit your brand this 2018 holiday season, there are many styles to choose from. Current and new trends like floral prints, metallic silver, glitter and bold colors like rust, dark browns, gold and deep yellows can be custom printed on the interior or exterior of your bags and boxes.

To put the finishing touches on your designs, add foil hot stamping, matte, gloss or soft touch lamination, embossing or spot UV to the finished product for a unique holiday look. For gift and jewelry boxes, interior printing or velvet flocking can be added to keep the products inside safe and scratch free. The use of metallic printing and hot stamping can add warmth to your paper shopping bags, gift boxes and accessories. All of these trends and embellishments can be combined for a look that can be carried over well into the first few months into the New Year.

The holiday season is a special time for everyone and should be reflected in your packaging collection. Give your customers something eye-catching and seasonal. Holiday packaging is also something that can be kept year round or used again for gift packaging.
