How To Win Big With Wood Veneer Round Gift Boxes!

Presentation packaging is an important part of many companies marketing strategy. It helps sell products and is a vital part of the products' identity and brand value.

However, the type and quality of packaging is crucial, as it's the first thing that a potential customer sees, as first impressions count. It's been found that on average, a customers' attention span is only 3 seconds, so the presentation packaging has to be as attractive as possible.

It follows that the packaging needs to be as high a quality as possible. The more value a customer sees, the more they're likely to pay and potentially the more they'll buy!

Wood Veneer Single Product Round Gift Boxes

Many companies however, face a dilemma. If they have a high quality, high cost product, then it makes sense to use let's say wood gift boxes, as wood is a natural, organic material that resonates well with the traditional image of whisky but may be beyond . 

When people think about small gift boxes, they generally see rectangular, custom wooden boxes, that are often designed for high quality, high cost products, such as for example single malt whisky!

Most high quality, low cost products however, use simple, plain, relatively cheap packaging, like paper, cardboard and plastic. These cheap materials will do very little for the product itself, except perhaps to tell you what it is and the reason of course is cost!

Wood Veneer Round Gift Boxes As Gift Sets


One possibility is to use wood veneer round boxes for products. These types of custom wooden boxes have a number of important advantages, as follows...

1: They're inexpensive and small quantities of these specialty gift boxes can be ordered, so you can test the market, without breaking the bank! 
2:  They're visually appealing, so attract more customers!
3: They can be supplied in a range of vibrant natural wood and colour stains, which means your products will stand out from your competitors'!
4: They can be over-printed with a logo and/or text or supplied with self-adhesive printed labels, for a more personalized, branded finish!
5: These types of custom made boxes have that 'unique' quality of natural wood that many people find irresistible, so customers will often pay more!     

Veneered round wooden boxes are ideal for high quality, low cost products, either as single product gift boxes, or as multiple product gift sets. They stimulate the senses, add value and ultimately boost your sales. Isn't that what we all want?

 Single Malt Whisky Box With Parchment For: Isle Of Arran Distillery

Whisky or whiskey, is a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash. 
Various grains (which may be malted) are used for different varieties, including barley, corn (maize), rye, and wheat. 

Whisky is typically aged in wooden casks, that are generally made of charred white oak. 

At one time, all whisky was spelled without the extra 'e', as "whiskey". Around 1870, the reputation of Scottish whisky was very poor, as Scottish distilleries flooded the market with cheaper spirits produced using the Coffey still. 

The Irish and American distilleries therefore, adopted the spelling "whiskey", with the extra "e", to distinguish their higher quality product. 

Locke's Single Malt Irish Whiskey For: The Cooley Distillery


Today, the spelling whisky (plural whiskies) is generally used for whiskies distilled in Scotland, Wales, Canada, Australia and Japan, while whiskey is used for the spirits distilled in Ireland and America.

A blended whiskey (or whisky) is the product of blending different types of whiskeys and sometimes also neutral grain spirits, coloring, and flavorings. It is generally the product of mixing one or more higher-quality straight, or single malt whiskies, with lighter spirits and water.

It takes three years to complete the process of production of whisky and it has to stay inside an oak cask for three full years to be called whisky. 

To be called Scotch, the spirits have to remain in an oak cask for three years, on Scottish ground. Single malt whiskies take 8 to 10 years of ageing. 

Older whiskeys are more expensive and considered better tasting. Whisky does not mature in bottles like wine does; it only matures in the casks. 

Most whiskies are chill-filtered before bottling, to remove the residue produced during distillation. This prevents the whisky getting hazy and cloudy. 

Single malt and single grain Scotch whiskies are the main types and blends, which are made from these two basic types. 

If you're curious about whisky / whiskey, then give it a try. There is nothing quite like it. Whisky has a unique taste and has remained original throughout the centuries.
