Hello Jim,

I am interested in (consignment partnership) with spa owners or massage therapist companies, I know that's not the same as selling to major retails but do you have any information that can help me on this venture?

 

Thanks,

Sylvia

What a cool group. I work with all sorts of small upstart brands in personal care to provide contract manufacturing and packaging with a focus on green/natural. If anyone needs this kind of turn key help please feel free to reach out to us.

Thanks Diva! I know...I get emails nearly everyday and I had to do something about it...and with nearly 20 years of doing this for inventors and start-ups it was time to make it official! Spread the word for me :)

Jim, This is such a valuable resource for finding vendors. I'm innundated with calls where people are looking for supplier assistance and don't know where to begin especially if they are looking for small quantities.
Happy Packaging!

Packaging is so very important. I did not make a box for my last 2 perfume collections to reduce waste, cost, and be a green company. My first box is classic and very expensive. Boxes look better on shelves.

Regardless of whom your consumer is there are packaging trends that will influence their purchasing decision. One of the packaging trends relating to retailers is the proliferation of new retail outlets thus expanding the competition and making it more difficult to sell.

Here's an excerpt from 2010 Packaging Trends Impacting What Consumers Will Buy
Packaging Trend #8 You Shopped Where?
Consumers are busy and you have to reach them where and when you can. We've already seen the growth of higher end products in convenience stores to catch consumers on the run. So where else can you capture to dollar of that elusive consumer and what packaging will appeal to them?

Despite all you have read about excess packaging of products consumers still want convenience and are willing to pay for it. It has to fit their busy lifestyles too.

The article is very long so please feel free to email me for the full Packaging Trend PDF.

I think your packaging looks very nice and I think the label colors are enhanced by the amber bottles. The silver cans add another color to the mix and I think the overall look works.

Thank You everyone for your positive feed back on my amber jars and bottle. Like I have told a lot of people that have ask my advice on labeling etc. the same thing, what counts is if you love it and it looks great! So yes I took my own advice and I love my packaging!
