Labeling and packaging checklist for retailers - essentials guide for opening a shop part 3

From advertising sales to clear sizing and pricing, tags, labels and tickets can have so many uses within your store.

Once you’ve chosen the tags that you want to include, the next step is how you are going to attach them! There are many trusted brands for tagging guns and different style options for tags, from clear to brightly coloured.

A price gun is important for any retail business, offering a quick and efficient way to label your products

Make sure your customer can see the size item they want at a glance with size cubes. Think about what colour block and lettering best suits your brand (or contact us for bespoke options!).

Don’t just think about the elements that will make your store look aesthetically pleasing, think about how to protect your products too with retail and store security tools!

Stock rotation discs are an easy way to indicate what products need to move from your inventory onto the shop floor, making organisation simple and keep your displays fresh easy.

A time-less classic that has the added benefit of being eco-friendly, paper carrier bags and paper gift bags are a great alternative to plastic carrier bags  

Take a look at the logoprint section below to see how this can be personalised.

Adding a touch of luxury can be as simple as using tissue paper in your product wrapping.  Recyclable and often made from recycled materials, it's an eco-friendly void fill or wrapping option that's a little more delicate and pretty than alternatives.

Make every purchase feel like a present to your customer with the addition of gift wrapping ribbon, from classic satin ribbon to more rustic rafia or jute rope ribbon.

Use fabric drawstring bags for an elegant addition to your in-store or online packaging. These vary from satin, to velvet, to 'organza' gauzy bags in vibrant colours.

For every possible product, there is the right postal box or carboad box size that will ensure it gets transported safely.  

Softer and less fragile products don't require a box, so mailing bags are the perfect alternative.

If you have products that require bubble wrap to protect them, consider whether you would benefit from buying in larger quantities or on a roll, to save money and ensure you are stocked for the future.

Packing products for delivery can be laborious, so it’s simple tools like quality packing tape and dispensers that can make the process smoother and faster.
