Box Stickers
Of course, if you are a retailer, packaging labels are a necessity. But any business owner understands how important image is to a business. Custom mailing and shipping labels offer a low-cost marketing opportunity that can’t be beat. Instant brand recognition!
Including company information, logo and a short slogan gives you that nano-second of advertising deliciousness that is extremely cost-effective. Not to mention, the obvious importance of having the recipient understand where your package came from. Whether you are shipping to customers, vendors, or for inquiries, having custom packaging labels make a difference.
For retail, custom packaging will always be a simple branding success. The whole “unboxing” fad that has been going on the past few years is all about noticing and appreciating custom packaging.
Custom packaging labels are a huge part of that. Having beautiful, full color labels adds to the unboxing experience. Don’t forget, people love to film the unboxing experience. That means it results in free advertising for the shipper. Having a logo and smart design can really make a company stand out in this situation.
