Just wondering what you guys use. Bags? Boxes? Envelopes? Where do you get them?
I found a local printing company that has a nice product but they require a min. of 500ct. That's too many for me.
Thanks for sharing!
Full Version: What kind of packaging do you use?
i'm looking too, but over here. i'm trying to be creative but i am coming up wtih a big blank. needless to say, there arent many choices over here - at least i havent found anything. boxes?
Can I just say, I've never used any of these people but thought I'd share the links...

Yes, I just placed an order with them yesterday. I have only gotten their proof boxes, but I was pleased with the quality.
I started using pochette envelopes for 8x10 & under prints from paper presentation after a recommendation or two here on OSP. I LOVE them. I'll even post a few snaps if you promise not to make fun of my pitiful pics (they're SNAPS!). 
9x12 pochette with belly belt (also from paper presentation) + logo sticker from WHCC (did not remove the back of the sticker--just attached to belly belt so belt could slip on & off)
5x7 pochette with belly belt + WHCC sticker
11x14 box from wooden nickel
TAP wallet box from wooden nickel
Bazzill Mono Mini Album (freebie gift)
Diaper Bag Tag for babes (freebie--make them in house)
5x5 proof album from ProDPI
11x14's go into a sealed plastic bag from clear bags & larger prints are just wrapped in aqua tissue paper & tied with tulle (they remain in their clear bags from the lab for protection).
I deliver in a black gift bag from nashville wraps filled with aqua tissue and a logo sticker on the outside of the bag.

Amorphia, i think this is what you are referring to.

I also like these.

I use black boxes in the appropriate size from NPD Box (npdbox.com, I think). I put my logo sticker on them and tie with satin ribbon.

They are simliar to luggage tags or ID's--the hard plastic--except mine are officially "diaper bag tags" & only go out to moms of small kiddos. I bought a binder from www.probinding.com. I have a template in PS where I can make 2 tags: image on one side & business card on back. Moms love these & they are great advertising b/c diaper bags go EVERYwhere. And they were a cheap investment averaging out at only about 15 cents each.
Someone told me that Millers prints stuff like these in house, in case anyone uses them.

Megan - that packaging is awesome! Very exciting - a portrait order should be like yours, like Christmas morning! TFS!
Megan- thanks for info
LOVE the tags, think I will make some as gifts. I have some friends that travel like crazy and would be perfect gift for someone that has everything.
