Each of those details is another chance to make the brand feel more consistent, useful, and intentional.<\/p>\n<p>For print resellers and distributors, that means more places to bring ideas, solve needs, and uncover opportunities inside accounts you already serve.

Customers can create labels in nearly any shape without the cost of custom dies or tooling, with quantities starting at 100. That makes them a practical option for short-run product packaging, new launches, seasonal varieties, specialty products, and smaller brands that want more flexibility.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to wait for a customer to ask for a custom-shaped label. A better question might be: Does the label need to follow the shape of the logo, product, or package?<\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 27px;\" width=\"1402\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"653\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><strong>WHEN THE LABEL JOB GETS SPECIFIC: <\/strong><\/span><em>Custom shape?

They work especially well for apparel, gifts, retail merchandise, handmade goods, and other items where the tag becomes part of the presentation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.navitor.com\/products\/promotional-products\/favor-bags\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Favor Bags<\/a> offer another simple way to carry branding into the handoff. Printed in full color and available in quantities as low as 50, they can package party favors, event giveaways, small retail purchases, product samples, gifts, or treats. For a launch, event, boutique, or hospitality program, the bag itself becomes part of what the customer receives.<\/p>\n<p>Neither product has to be elaborate to make the experience feel considered. Sometimes the value is simply making sure the brand doesn\u2019t disappear at the point of purchase or handoff.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14308 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navitor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sustainability.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"585\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Give the package a life beyond the delivery<\/h3>\n<p>Some packaging earns extra value when the customer keeps using it. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navitor.com\/products\/epoly\/polyweave\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Epoly\u00ae PolyWeave\u00ae Zip Bags<\/a> bring durability to the conversation with strong PolyWeave\u00ae material and zipper closures. Options include a medium\/document-size zip bag and a TSA quart-size zip bag.<\/p>\n<p>That opens up applications beyond a one-time package: document kits, onboarding materials, travel accessories, event kits, samples, product sets, instruction materials, and other items that benefit from organization and protection.<\/p>\n<p>For you, the selling idea is simple: if the customer is already putting several items together, could the container itself become part of the branded solution?<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15057 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navitor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PackagingTapeBlogImage.jpg\" alt=\"custom printed water-activated packaging tape with logos\" width=\"1200\" height=\"560\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Carry the brand through the trip to the customer<\/h3>\n<p>For ecommerce sellers and businesses that ship directly to customers, the delivery package creates another set of touchpoints.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.navitor.com\/products\/packagingsolutions\/shipping-envelopes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Custom Shipping Envelopes<\/a> combine protection with visible branding.

Standard printed pieces can do double duty as package inserts, giving customers another way to communicate after the sale.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the message and available space, consider:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.navitor.com\/products\/business-cards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Business Cards<\/a> for a compact thank-you card, referral prompt, support contact, or QR code.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.navitor.com\/products\/postcards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Postcards<\/a> for a thank-you message, reorder reminder, related-product offer, loyalty message, or next-purchase incentive.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.navitor.com\/products\/flyers\/full-color\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flyers<\/a> when customers need more room for instructions, product care, setup information, a how-to, a product story, or complementary recommendations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An insert can answer a question, make the product easier to use, encourage a second purchase, or simply say thank you.

It\u2019s seeing more of the customer&#8217;s business.<\/p>\n<p>Many of these products also lend themselves to repeat business. Labels get used. Tape leaves with shipments. Inserts go into every order. Bags and tags move with products and events. As customers grow, launch new items, or change campaigns, those needs change with them.<\/p>\n<p>And one need can reveal the next. A customer asking for a product label may need a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navitor.com\/products\/labels\/freeform-labels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">custom shape<\/a>. A boutique ordering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navitor.com\/products\/hangtags\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hang Tags<\/a> may need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navitor.com\/products\/promotional-products\/favor-bags\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Favor Bags<\/a>.

A durable zip case that keeps serving a purpose. A shipping envelope or a box with branded tape on the way to the customer. A thoughtful insert waiting inside.<\/p>\n<p>Every one of those touchpoints is a reason to ask another question, uncover another need, and bring another useful idea to the account.<\/p>\n<p>So the next time a customer talks about a product, launch, shipment, event, or kit, look beyond what holds it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ask what travels with it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Ready to find more branded touchpoints inside your customer accounts?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.navitor.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Explore Navitor Products<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Help customers strengthen the experience around the product \u2013 from the label and bag to the insert and shipment.
