Festive Mylar Packaging For the Holidays

Create New Shapes

Mylar packaging is a versatile material that offers a wide range of creative possibilities for designing custom bags that radiate holiday cheer. Its flexibility allows it to be molded into any shape or form you can imagine, making it an ideal canvas for expressing the season’s festive spirit.

Regarding holiday-themed mylar packaging, the only limit is your creativity. The possibilities are endless, from traditional symbols like stockings and reindeer to more unique choices like Santa hats, decorative trees, snowflakes, and iconic holiday characters. By designing custom mylar bags with holiday themes, your business will be able to evoke a sense of nostalgia and warmth in your customers—ultimately increasing sales.

Incorporate Holiday Colors

One of the easiest ways to change your packaging for the holiday season is to incorporate the traditional red and green colors. Using red and green in your holiday packaging design is a time-honored tradition that immediately conveys a sense of warmth, cheer, and celebration. 

The study of color theory has analyzed exactly how consumers’ moods and emotions are impacted by the colors they see in advertisements and packaging. A staggering 60% of customers accept or reject new products based on their color. Moreover, 85% of people say that color is the main factor influencing their purchase of a particular product. This data alone highlights the influence that color, particularly traditional holiday shades like red and green, has in shaping consumer preferences.

Add Patterns & Textures

Patterns and textures are another great way to create eye-catching packaging and add visual interest to your products. You can experiment with different patterns, including candy canes, snowmen, festive stripes or polka dots, crosshatching, and more. Mylar bag designs can be taken further with metallic and holographic accents and textures, such as embellishments and embossed rollback stickers.

Use Unique Messaging

We’ve all seen the holly jolly verbiage showcased across various industry products—” Merry & Bright,” “Season’s Greetings,” “Happy Holidays,” and the like. But taking your mylar packaging a step further could be the difference between you and the competition. Try to tell a heartwarming holiday story through your branding:

• Playful humor: Inject holiday-themed humor and light-hearted messaging into your slogans or on your instructional rollback stickers. Clever wordplay and puns related to the holidays will surely gain the attention of new and current customers.
• Share your company story: If the holiday season holds special significance to your company, tell it to your customers somewhere on the mylar packaging. This will create a sense of trust and reliability in your brand.
• Use quotes from holiday classics: Resonating with your audience is key, and you can easily create a moment of merriment by using specific quotes from beloved holiday movies, books, or songs to entice consumers.

Creative Ideas For Various Industries

Branding that works for some industries won’t always work for others. For this reason, we’ve come up with some new and exciting ways you can incorporate the joy of the holiday season into your limited-edition mylar packaging this year. 

Cannabis

Consumers are starting to get creative with stocking stuffer ideas and post-Thanksgiving dinner treats—yes, we’re talking about cannabis products. Why not elevate the surprise of a new flavor or product line with holiday-themed packaging? While your logo and colorful branding attract customers, limited-edition seasonal imagery captivates consumers. Display a red-eyed Santa Claus or a line of reindeer in the snow, laughing in front of your edibles.

Pet Food

Our furry friends deserve a treat waiting for them under the tree, and there’s no better way for pet food manufacturers to make it extra special than with customized holiday packaging. Your packaging efforts and marketing tactics go hand-in-hand, so why not host a holiday contest? Consumers can submit photos of their pet dressed up in their best seasonal attire, and the winning animal can become the “face” of your limited-edition pet food/treat packaging.

Brand My Bags uses state-of-the-art technology to print high-quality photos and images onto your customized mylar packaging. Send in the photo of the winning pet, and we’d be happy to create a design that shows off the festive furry friend and your brand and product.

Bakeries

You’ve worked hard on your homemade treats, and the details of each sugar swirl and colorful fondant deserve to be showcased. Show off your seasonal goods with transparent mylar windows in your packages. Consumers can easily see the sweet treat they’re purchasing without compromising freshness and taste. With durable protection against moisture, oxygen, and UV light, bakeries nationwide can offer customers pastries as fresh as they were first made.

If you want to take things up a notch and allow your customers to try baking, you could also share a holiday recipe on the back of your packaging using rollback stickers.

Snack Manufacturers

The holidays are a time for sharing, and your snacks are on the menu. Brand My Bags can quickly and easily create limited runs of extra-sized mylar bags for the holidays. Give your customers more of what they love with jumbo packaging meant for sharing. Bonus points for creative or festive holiday slogans printed right on the front of your seasonal goodies.

Some slogan ideas include:

• The Most Delicious Time of the Year
• Santa’s Not the Only One Eating Cookies This Year
• The Holiday Season Just Got a Whole Lot Yummier
• Oh, Christmas Treats; Oh, Christmas Treats

Coffee & Tea Manufacturers:

Just as pumpkin spice sweeps the nation in the fall, peppermint, and gingerbread flavors take hold of consumers once the holidays arrive. These seasonal flavors deserve to shine brightly on the shelves with mylar packaging that stands out. Design a stand-up or lay-flat pouch that uses clever slogans, unique patterns, and unexpected shapes to attract customers’ attention to your coffees and teas.

The sensory experience is vital during the holiday season, so don’t forget to consider how your packaging can engage multiple senses. Incorporating elements like raised textures, embossing, or scented inks that mimic the aromas of peppermint and gingerbread can enhance the overall purchasing experience.
