Many businesses choose to stamp their packaging for brand recognition after they have bought in their boxes, paper bags and envelopes. Packaging stamps are a popular product of ours, they transform a simple, uninteresting box into a branded package ready to be posted to the customer. It’s the final stage in a business’s process before posting orders and they want a stamp that stands out and makes their brand look professional. That’s where we come in!
Choose between using a stamp pad (which requires you to ink the stamp yourself) like the stamp in the image below. Or you can choose a self-inking packaging stamp which many favour for its efficiency and speed. Keep reading for the benefits of personalised packaging stamps, view some of our customer’s designs and for our product recommendations.
What are the Key Benefits?
- Quite simply – it looks good. Having a stamp with writing and/or an image is much more visually appealing than just a plain box.
- Brand recognition - One thing you would want your business to have is brand recognition. What this means is anyone who sees your products from a distance knows it is you. Packaging is a powerful tool for a brand to connect with its target audience and convey its identity.
- Cost-savings and no minimum order quantity –Most printed packaging suppliers have a high MOQ which is not affordable or possible for new businesses.
- Small business feel - Customers notice the little details especially when they can see someone has taken the time to stamp it and it is not just printed on. Ordering from a small business usually offers a more personal experience with items such as handwritten thank you cards which go a long way in retaining customers.
- Better customer experience - Customers will be more satisfied with their order and more likely to share their experience online or via word of mouth, increasing your reach and driving more sales.
- Cheaper and more eco-friendly than buying in your packaging pre-printed - All of our packaging is paper based and is fully recyclable.
