How to Make New Year Candy Boxes?

New Year Eve is so close that I can feel its cold breath on my cheeks and I bet that you too feel that. We hope that the New Year will be better for us and while it is almost there, there is still time to capitalize on this Holiday and make some money.
If you are also into assorted candies’ business, you know that there is still some time to come up with better products and packaging and bag solid cash.
The customized candy boxes that you get from the packaging companies are always expensive, and still, at times, they fail to deliver up to the promise. Why not change the game on this New Year Eve?
The name of the game is saving money on packaging and still coming up with a more customized, optimized and tailored to the event packaging.

In this blog post, I am going to show you how to make assorted custom bandy boxes at home/shop and surprise your customers with the best packaging for the biggest event of the New Year.
Let us have a look at how to do so.

1.      Wrapping Papers

The wrapping papers for this auspicious occasion should show the spirit, the culture, and the environment. They can be bought from wrapping paper vendors, or if you have a proper theme in your mind, you can get customized wrapping papers.
The themes that you should look forward to, whether you go for readily available wrapping papers or the customized ones, should have the following attributes:
  • Time
  •  Environment, Weather etc.
  •  Culture
  • Tradition etc.
In order to explain these driving factors, here is how your wrapping papers should be:
  • Time – New Year – Get something like 2018 fireworks or anything that shows New Year or 2018
  • Environment – Show the environment/weather that is on the New Year’s Eve, which is mostly, snow, snowflakes, snowman, people doing the skiing, big parties etc.
  • Culture – Show the New Year Night parties, colors, fireworks and all relevant symbolism

The wrapping papers must have the gloss finish in order to show the festivity and celebrations of New Year, but you can try matte finish as well, as long as it goes with the plan and has some dark colors and glitter etc.
It is good to buy or order the wrapping paper in bulk or buy them from wholesale vendors because it will be very cheap and time-saving. You will get all the papers at once and it will save the time and hassle, also it will save money big time because you will not be buying them at retail price.
Remember:
You are doing a business and the point is to impress the potential customers and make more money at the beginning of the New Year. You cannot do so, without first saving money on your material.

2.      Boxes

Since you are not going to the custom candy boxes and you want to make your own boxes, you will not shed greens on the packaging. You will instead get the open lid boxes for the size of the assorted candies that you are going to pack inside them.
These boxes have to buy at very cheap rates; I mean, you must buy them at wholesale rates because all you are going to need is cardboard boxes with zero finish, customization or anything on them.
The size of boxes dictates the number of assorted candies that will occupy each box. You have to make this decision very carefully. The size of a box intended for 9 candies is not the same as a box for 6 candies.

Get the numbers and sizes accurately and you will be doing it well. The best way to do it is to get old candy boxes from your customers and customize them or get them from the recycling plant etc.

3.      How to make New Year Candy Boxes

Here is the step by step process of preparing the raw-shaped boxes as the best New Year Boxes. Follow the procedure and you will end up with the best packaging that you cannot get from anyone else.

Material

Here are the things that you need.
  • Wrapping paper – it is better to get wrapping papers based on two different themes. It will give you freedom and your customers would have the choice to get this pack or that box. The themes can be snow and snowman or 2018 fireworks or something like that. This will give you the capacity to impress a bigger number of potential customers.
  • Glue or double-sided tape.
  • Scale
  • Scissors
  • Ribbon

Process

Here is the process that you must go through in order to make those boxes.
  • Cut the wrapping sheet as per the size of the boxes, leaving the 1-inch extra margin on all four sides.
  • Now get the scissors and make a cut on the edges so as to let the wrapping paper’s four sides openly wrap around the inside edge.
  • Glue the wrapping paper’s sides and wrap around the inside edge; you have to do so patiently and slowly, otherwise, you will leave a crease and creases look bad. If you are afraid that you would not do it as good as it requires, learn it from gift wrapping experts.
  •  Now the box is a new box with a beautiful New Year wrapper around it. Tie a ribbon, paste your company’s sticker on it and apply other embellishments if you want.


 That’s it. Your first candy wrapping box is ready. Make more and have a happy selling.
