Colour is an incredibly emotional thing; it can inform mood and often is related back to a variety of events, objects or even people.  Colour is also intensely subjective, and is interpreted differently across the globe.  For example, the colour red in Chinese culture is symbolic of celebration and luck; monetary gifts are placed in red envelopes as they symbolise good luck and help to ward off evil spirits.  Conversely, in much of the Western world, the colour can be associated with debt and financial loss.

In terms of retail, research suggests that between 60% and 80% of a purchase decision is based first and foremost on colour and aesthetic quality.  With branding, experts claim that a customer should feel a genuine correlation between the colours of a product or logo and the overall identity of the brand.

At Carrier Bag Shop, we offer a fantastic range of packaging and in an assortment of colours too; perfect for coordinating to your company’s branding or products.  For a look at our full range, as well as links to our bespoke printing services, visit www.carrierbagshop.co.uk.

Here’s a quick message from our CEO, Sujan Shah, thanking our customers for all their support since 2006, and giving you a little heads up on our strategy in 2012.

We are always on the lookout for examples of great packaging, and this bag, produced for Lancashire’s libraries, is a cool and witty take on the notion of a bag for life.  Based on a design by young designer Thom Isom, it reinvents the bag for life as a ‘bag for lit’; the bags are strong enough to hold several books, CDs and DVDs.

The bags are the result of the Lancashire County Council’s recycling project which has been successful in turning library waste into stylish fashion items.  The bags themselves are made from items such as old date labels, newspapers, magazines, old posters and minutes of meetings.

At Carrier Bag Shop, we offer bespoke print packaging solutions to suit your needs.  Why not give our friendly print team a call on 020 3002 9960; a dedicated account manager will guide you through every step of the print process, offering expert advice to ensure your packaging is of the highest quality.

Packaging design is important as by and large it is the medium through which a business conveys its brand identity and product information to its customers.  Packaging acts in many ways as a mobile advertising space; as a shopper carries it down the high street, the branding on the packaging becomes lodged into the collective subconscious of all passersby who have seen it.

For a customer, good packaging, often in combination with a strong brand, can become something of status symbol.  It shows off something about their lifestyle, or perhaps even the lifestyle that they aspire to.

Packaging is essentially an active sales tool which can mark a brand apart from its competitors; a medium for companies to interact with their customers.  The best packaging influences consumers in the subtlest of ways.  Above all, packaging should assure customers that the product they are purchasing is the best product on the market.

At Carrier Bag Shop, we offer a fantastic bespoke print packaging service.  Why not give our print team a call on 020 3002 9960; a dedicated account manager will guide you through every step of the printing process, offering expert advice to ensure your packaging is of the highest quality.
