Boxes, Bows and Packaging

For me, presentation is everything. The cookies inside the box can be good but they are not great unless they are presented well. I spend lots of time (and extra loose change) on ribbons, boxes, tissues, bags,

anything that adorns a box and gives it a life of it's own.

I have received many personal emails regarding my resources. I have tons. However, I have a select few that I frequent and adore. With the holidays around the corner, this would be as good a time as any to share my resources:

www.nashvillewraps.com

this is my favorite place to buy boxes. I personally

like:

http://is.gd/5ezkG - all colors

http://is.gd/5ezoo - all sizes

I also love their ribbons (the grosgrain)

http://is.gd/5ezsC

these are more expensive, but the colors are really great. especially in the Spring.

http://www.papermart.com

I like their cellophane, their coffee bags (http://is.gd/5ezGJ)

these are great for caramel corn, small cookie gifts

candy, etc. I don't like the ones with the windows

They have really expanded their ribbon inventory.

I had fun recently buying some of their new

ribbons. Also, their prices on large shipping boxes

are really good.

Crimped Paper Shred is a good alternative to

Styrofoam popcorn for filling creates, tins, boxes

( http://is.gd/5ezOA ).
