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?

Japanese Bowls - Stylish & Elegant Eating!

Ceramic bowls and dishes are used at every meal in Japan and lend a degree of elegance and charm to the eating experience. The Japanese also believe that a beautiful bowl, or dish adds flavour to food and makes eating more of a pleasure.

Japanese rice bowls, 'Miso' soup bowls, noodle bowls, serving bowls and tea bowls make great gifts because all Japanese use them, so they're readily available and inexpensive. They often come in  in wood gift boxes as nested sets, so just shop around and choose the ones that you like.

Japanese Ceramic Bowls

Japanese bowls are made from a variety of materials, like ceramics, wood and even plastic. However,  porcelain bowls are the most popular and these are always at the centre of Japanese meals. 

The Japanese like to eat rice as a staple and they'll often do so separately from the main course but if you like Italian food, just put some pesto, vegetables, or pasta into your bowl and no-one will take any notice.  

Japanese Tea Ceremony

The Japanese 'Chawan' bowl is used to drink green tea called 'Matcha' in the Japanese tea ceremony. This probably originated centuries ago when the first tea bowls and tea were imported from China. However, Japanese tea bowls soon developed their own distinctive style and character. 

Japanese bowls are versatile, elegant and suitable for every day use, so impress your friends and family by giving them meals with that authentic Japanese touch!

How To Brand Your Wood Presentation Boxes With That 'Wow' Factor!

Metallic foil blocking, screen printing and laser engraving are all excellent ways of printing directly onto wood presentation boxes, to provide a high quality, branded finish! However, if you want your wood presentation boxes to have that 'wow' factor, consider using engraved or etched metal plates, fixed directly to your wood gift boxes, or promotional boxes.

Engraving and etching are methods of cutting lines into hard surfaces like metal, for the purpose of decoration and/ or branding. The key difference is that engraving uses a sharp tool, often diamond tipped, to 'score' the metal whilst etching is a chemical process that uses acid to 'burn' lines into the metal.

It's also possible to apply colour print directly onto metal plates. These methods have largely superceded traditional hand engraving techniques!

Nowadays, the engraving and etching process, particularly in the commercial world is largely computer controlled for precision purposes. It has increasingly been used for branding onto metal plates, as a highly effective and economic method of printing.

For instance, a solid brass, aluminium, or polished metal plate, etched with an exquisitely designed, coloured logo and text is high-quality branding indeed that customers notice when considering a purchase! Even a simple etched metal plate with few embellishments can look and feel really special!

The visual impact of polished metal plates can also be enhanced by introducing special design features such as chamfered or scalloped corners.

Furthermore, metal has other important characteristics such as being a hard, non-combustible and impact-resistant material It also has excellent resistance to heat and chemicals!

However, metal may corrode in certain conditions and the engraving darken over time, so to avoid this special coatings are often used!

Solid brass, plated brass and steel plates are protected with a clear lacquer finish and aluminium can be supplied anodised. These thin coatings can then be used for fine detail engraving and etching.

If you want your wood presentation packaging to stand out from the crowd with that 'wow' factor, that encourages customers to buy your products, then engraving or etching onto polished metal plates, as an alternative to traditional printing methods', is definitely worth considering!

Turn Your Wood Presentation Boxes Into Objects Of Desire & Real Affection!

Now that Christmas is over, what do you do with all those wonderful, wood presentation boxes that were used to package your presents?

Most presentation packaging materials such as cardboard and plastic are designed to be discarded once the product inside has been consumed or used.

However, wooden boxes are more robust and long-lasting, so there's no need to throw them away. There's something really satisfying about prolonging the life of wood boxes by finding new and creative uses for them.

It's a bit like an old work horse who's retired and is now enjoying a more sedentary life on a farm, providing rides for the local kids, instead of being sent to the knackers yard!

Wooden Storage Box Decorated With Promotional Theatre Images

Wooden gift boxes are often thought of as simple storage containers but with a little creative thinking they can be turned into objects of desire and real affection!

Wood gift boxes are used as containers for many everyday products, such as whisky and premium spirits, wine and champagne, cheese and condiments and tools etc. They come in all shapes, sizes and designs. Some have hinged lids, lift-off lids and sliding lids or are supplied as cases and crates without lids.

So, how can we give our wooden boxes a new lease of life? Well, that's up to you but you can turn them into such things as flower boxes, wall décor shelves, storage containers for old vinyl records, kitchen utensils, vintage china, tools and children's art materials. 

They can also be used to create flower arrangements for dinner table centre pieces, seed beds for the garden and storage containers for your fruit and veg!

Once you've decided how to use your wooden boxes don't worry about the condition. Sometimes that battered look is an advantage, so all you need to do is clean them up a bit. 

Children's Pencil Boxes Plain Decorated With Side Images

On the other hand if you want some colour you can paint them with a plain matt emulsion to provide that rustic, retro look and perhaps stick some interesting images on the sides! 

One simple and inexpensive way to decorate your boxes is to create attractive collages using materials from around the house. These could be bits of old newspaper, wallpaper pieces from your last decorating job, hand crafted paper, brown wrapping paper, coloured tissue paper, pieces of coloured silk and flock fabric, pictures from glossy magazines and old sheet music!

Your wooden boxes can truly become objects of desire and real affection, with a long lease of life, if you find a new purpose for them. All you need to do is to put your thinking cap on and get those creative juices flowing!

Wood Jewellery Delights - A New Story To Tell!

Polmac (UK) Ltd specializes in supplying customized, wood presentation boxes and packaging using craft techniques and semi-automated methods of production. 

Our wooden boxes derive from a craft heritage and we are always looking at new ways wood can be used. This allows us to learn new production and finishing methods and keep abreast of developments, which means we can continuously improve the quality of our wood boxes for your benefit. 

The use of specialized, wood decorative techniques in wood gift boxes and jewellery came to our attention recently as an innovative new way wood can be used. 

Wood Bangle Bracelet

From the earliest times our ancestors used wood for creating shelters, making fire, tools, utensils and weapons. They also used wood for decoration. At some point they learned to shape wood and realized that they could carve, pierce and decorate small wooden objects to create primitive jewellery.

When we think of jewellery today we think of precious and semi-precious stones, as well as gold and silver. We rarely think about using wood in jewellery. However, designers today are rediscovering wood as a material that can be used successfully in jewellery, even at the high-end of the jewellery market.

This reincarnation of wood allows us to appreciate the natural warmth and beauty of wood once more and the many uses it has.

Wood & Glass Mosaic Pendant

Many countries, particularly in the new world have fine wood carving traditions and these skills are being preserved for future generations. Traditional wood carvers are co-operating with jewellery designers to produce bold new designs using techniques that have been developed over thousands of years.

People are attracted by unconventional materials such as wood, in superior quality jewellery including bangles, bracelets, earrings and cuffs.

The special quality of wood adds an extra dimension to our visual experience. Polished rosewood and ebony for example contrast beautifully when used with faceted white diamonds!

A technique comprising pressed thin sheets of native coloured woods in rich, natural hues called 'marquetry' was recently discovered in Brazil and is now used in the manufacture of contemporary jewellery.

Many woods like the blue azul cavalho can be combined in marquetry with other materials such as mother-of-pearl and glass, to provide distinctive and beautifully textured designs.

Wood is a truly unique and versatile material and it seems today it definitely has a new story to tell!

Corporate Gifts - An Important Marketing Strategy!

Giving gifts to clients is a serious business. It can establish and / or reinforce important relationships, if part of a well considered marketing strategy. It can therefore be an inexpensive and effective way of promoting a business in the long and short term.

Business gifts are offered mainly to major and prospective clients, usually as a thank you for their business. This affirms the relationship with the client and enhances the personal connection between both parties.

Polmac (UK) Ltd Round Hamper Boxes

Gifts to clients are given usually without any explicit preconditions but there's always a bottom-line benefit to the company that provides the gift. This is because psychologically, people will always want to reciprocate, if presented with a gift. That's why for many companies, it's an essential part of their marketing strategy.

To get the most out of a gift giving program, a little finesse goes a long way. For example, it's important that the gift is good quality and well presented. Good quality wrapping paper, coloured ribbons and a hand written note tells the client you've made an effort and this will be appreciated.

Timing is also important. The giving of gifts is best done on special occasions such as anniversaries and at Christmas when gift giving is considered traditional.

Customized gifts keep the company's name in the minds of clients, so it's a good idea to have the company logo printed somewhere on the gift.

Items such as calendars, coffee mugs and pens are used every day, so this provides free advertising for the company, on an on-going basis. However, it's important to avoid blatant self-promotion as this may defeat the object.

Polmac (UK) Ltd are specialist suppliers of customized, wood gift boxes, hampers and hamper boxes. These can be supplied as traditional rectilinear, or round hamper boxes with printed logos. They're beautifully made, versatile and terrific value, which means they will be highly prized by clients, so will help generate repeat business.
