Make your Wedding a black and white one
Striking, sharp and sophisticated.
These are all words used to describe the combined use the colours black and white.
And as always, the return of the black and white themed wedding frenzy is no surprise (every wedding planner will tell you that!). Black is the new White. In fact, black and white is even better!
These days almost every wedding gift box order we receive here at The Packaging Source is for something done in black and white. Whether it is a beautiful damask design with matching boxes, overlays and ribbon, or plain and polka, the hottest colour theme this year is black and white!
Here are some tips on complementing your carefully selected décor with the perfect gift boxes, ribbons, bows and accessories.
The Wedding Invitation
Combining shapes, textures and prints is a great way to send out a wedding invite that will give your guests a taste of what is to come. A very popular trend these days is to create wedding invitations in a box. Yes, actually forms part of the invite. Match your gift box to your invite paper, and now you have the opportunity to add something special to the invite in the box. For a small wedding the invite can take the form of a single fresh rose, packaged in a rose gift box, accompanied by a scroll with your wedding details on. For a more formal wedding have your initials foiled or embossed on the outside lid of the box, or add a personalized ribbon with a wax seal. There are so many ideas to make use of this great way of sending your invitations out, choose one that will suit your own unique style.
Table Décor
Done wrongly a black and white wedding can be stark and boring so make sure you add the right amount of pizzazz and creativity. Everybody can do white table cloths with chair covers and table runners in black and white with red roses. Try something different with polka dots, retro stripes or the ever popular damask and filigree designs. Be retro and outrageous! Use hatboxes or round boxes done in a print for your flower arrangements.
Create beautiful keepsake wedding favour boxes for your guests with personal messages or pictures printed on them in black and white. Have your menu printed on a wide satin ribbon, and drape it across your table, or cut it into pieces and place one on every guest’s plate. Instead of the normal gift box for your wedding favours, why not personalize a mint tin in black and white damask design, and fill it up with mints - give your wedding guests a fresh keepsake from your wedding to use long after your 1st wedding anniversary has come and gone!
There are so many great ways to use a theme as plain as a black and white one, and make it absolutely spectacular, a wedding to remember.

Corporate Gift Ideas - Impression is everyting
Gift packaging and marketing
Great gift packaging site with custom manufacture of gift boxes, company located in Pretoria but deliver to Johannesburg and rest of south africa
Whether you've been charged with finding the items your company will give away during the holiday season or you need to locate just the right gift for a special client,  make no mistake, the job is a big one. Having to source gifts appropriate for a number of different people, all of different faiths or beliefs, the prospect can be even more daunting. Finding the right corporate gift is bigger than making a gesture, it needs to be classy and leave just the right impression on those who receive it.
With the gravity of what giving a corporate gift can mean for your company, it's a good idea to consider your client base before rushing out and buying the first gift baskets that strike your fancy. If there is a great deal of diversity involved, you may want to first set a spending limit per client and then choose individually within that range. At the very least, select a few different standards gifts and send the one that is appropriate for each different client. A Christmas gift box might not be appreciated by your Jewish clients and non-drinkers may frown on a wine selection.
Once the correct approach has been set, it's time to start looking at the corporate gifts.

Sending out a Gourmet Gift Hamper..
Sometimes a simple gift basket just doesn't fit the bill, and you need something even bigger and better to present to that someone special or VIP person you have in mind.
How about instead of sending a gift basket, send a gift hamper.
A gift hamper allows you to send a much wider range of products based around a specific theme than a standard gift basket would hold. For example, instead of sending a gift basket which contains a small number of samples which would be useful for the mother of a newborn baby, a gift hamper might include regular sized bottles, lotions and lots of other items that simply couldn't be included if you sent a gift basket.
Gift Box Hampers are also an excellent gift to send to that VIP person that are difficult to buy for. While you can buy Gift Box Hampers that are aimed specifically at a man or a woman, most are of unisex appeal and can be sent as an anniversary, Christmas, office manager birthday or promotion or even a wedding gift. If you thought hampers were for sending chocolates and wine to someone on their birthday, think again.

The Packaging Source @ Markex
Wow. That is about the biggest word I can muster after attending our very first Markex event. We were blown away by the amount of people attending, the attitude of the marketing, corporate, pr and other visitor towards us, our products and our company. Nobody will ever be able to tell me South Africa is not a friendly country!
Before Markex we mostly got to talk to our clients (all in the marketing, event, corporate or branding industries) when they were already in a time crunch, having a bad day or trying to put together almost impossible elements for a launch or media pack. This always led us to believe we are in the unique situation of having very difficult customers!
But after meeting some of our current customers and so many new prospective customers, it opened our eyes to a whole new world of marketing and events personalities.
