Valentine’s is a day of gift-giving, whether it’s chocolate, flowers, cards or something more. And while those items are wonderful to receive on their own, part of their worth relies on presentation. Chocolates and candy are great, but chocolates and candy wrapped inside a multi-layered box designed to tease and surprise the recipient are even better. When prepping your Valentine’s packaging—whether you’re the online seller or the gift-giver themselves—every packaging material you use should be chosen with a specific look or intent in mind. Here’s 6 Valentine’s packaging supplies to help you create the ultimate shipping and unboxing experience during this romantic event.
Kraft corrugated boxes are a proven classic, but they don’t scream Valentine’s Day, do they? But that’s okay, because custom boxes in the right colours certainly do. Whether you’re using the reliable RSC (Regular Slotted Carton), the uniquely-shaped COW (Cut-Out Wrap) or the unboxing-centric FLM (Front Lock Mailer), the bright and vibrant colours of custom boxes will make your Valentine’s packaging stand way out in the crowd of other e-commerce paramours.

Maybe your products or gifts don’t require the space of a corrugated box. That can be a good thing, because glamour mailers are one of the flashiest, most attractive ways to send something. A gleaming, metallic envelope stuffed with Valentine’s gifts will make everyone stop and stare in envy. Make sure you know whether your product needs the protection of glamour bubble mailers, or if it’ll travel just as well in a glamour flat mailer.

Once your container’s outside packaging looks fantastic and inviting, it’s time to do the same for the inside. Tissue paper—in white, colour, or otherwise—turns your product into a gift within a gift. First they open the box, then they open the wrapped paper. It’s a smart, beautiful and effective way to layer your Valentine’s packaging and create an extra surprise.

Sometimes, the best part about opening packaging is rooting around for the surprises inside. Sure, tissue paper absolutely makes a gift look extra special and inviting, but imagine burying your hands into Valentine’s-coloured crinkle paper. The audible sounds, the textured feel, and the coloured look all make it yet another experience that makes unboxing all the more memorable. Talk about good-looking void fill, huh?

Part of the unboxing experience—and part of committing to any packaging strategy—is that a shipment’s packaging should be related to each other in look or theme. When it comes to unboxing experiences on Valentine’s Day, what could be more related in both look and theme, than heart-shaped Bubble Wrap®? It’s surprising, it’s compelling, and in dispenser boxes, it’s incredibly easy to use.

Unexpected, right? And since part of Valentine’s packaging is the surprise factor, we think mailing tubes fit the bill. If you’re delivering candy or flowers to a contemporary person who likes interesting and new ideas, imagine opening a mailing tube full of Valentine’s candy. And if it’s flowers you’re sending, imagine a dozen roses clustered together inside individual mailing tubes.

Now that your gifts are ready to be unboxed, don’t forget the finishing touches like cards, labels or even some more candy (you can never have too much Valentine’s candy, right?). You should be confident you’ve created a beautiful, eye-catching and romantic shipment with your Valentine’s packaging choices. Good luck, have fun, and don’t eat too much of that candy all at once, you hear?
