Easy Enhancements that Instantly Elevate Packaging

Custom packaging is a world of it’s own! There are endless options to choose from when it comes to selecting size, structure, color, texture, etc. Here are 4 quick and easy enhancements that will add instant style to your packaging program without breaking the bank!


1) OVERALL EMBOSSING! Did you know that you can emboss a shopping bag, a gift box or any paper product with a 100% embossing technique. There are thousands of patterns to choose from – animal print, linen, stripes, the list is goes on and on. Embossing applications make a paper product feel textured, almost as if a fabric was used instead of paper. Here’s an example of our bag for Ministry of Supply which has been enhanced with embossing.

2) Speaking of textures, add a “SOFT TOUCH” LAMINATION to your product. Soft touch lamination mimics the feeling of a very subtle suede. It immediately conveys an attitude of luxury and lasting memorability. You can add soft touch to nearly anything – hangtags, stickers, paper bags, gift boxes. Our boxes for Carbon38 use soft touch lamination to exude a sleek and modern vibe that is indicative of their brand.

3) Everyone knows (and either loves or hates) crinkle wrap! Don’t get us wrong, crinkle wrap is a great way to protect the precious contents of your package and make for a fun (albeit sometimes messy) unboxing experience. But there are so many other STYLISH VOID FILL options available that are equally protective, eco-friendly and stylish – Spiropack and Honeycomb Wrap to name a few! Photos @seamanpaper.com

4) We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: WE LOVE BELLY BANDS! Seasonal or thematic, belly bands are a terrific way to customize a gift box. They allow you flexibility and thoughtful branding with the advantage of continual band changes while keeping the primary piece – your gift box – static! This box from our client Ella Paradis is the perfect example: they utilize two seasonal belly bands on their classic white box to instantly transform the gift into holiday perfection.

Great tips — I love how simple upgrades like embossing and soft-touch lamination can totally change the feel of packaging! It’s a reminder that small details make a big impact, whether in branding or even in Roof Coating, where precision and finishing touches matter. Thanks for sharing these creative ideas!

Just like custom packaging can elevate a brand’s image, a well-installed roof elevates the safety and comfort of your home. Whether it’s embossing, soft touch, or sturdy roofing, the right choice makes all the difference in lasting impression and protection. Both require attention to detail and quality to truly shine!

This guide is packed with smart, budget-friendly packaging upgrades! The emphasis on texture, personalization, and creative touches like belly bands really makes a difference. Including custom cookie packaging using embossing or soft-touch lamination would instantly elevate dessert presentation making even a simple treat feel luxurious and gift-worthy. Love these ideas!
