Got a sweet tooth? Opening a package full of tasty homemade marshmallows is already a great way to start the day, but the accompanying Postcards explaining how to create the perfect toasting experience makes it all the better! Stuck down with a custom Sticker and finished off with a handwritten thank you message on a Business Card makes this order from The Mallow Makers one heck of a sweet (and squishy) e-commerce experience!

We just couldn’t ignore this bright and colourful Postcard that White Cat Vintage has been slipping in with their vintage homewares. The easy way to add a little more branding to your orders, Postcards like this are perfect for everything from explaining more about your brand to adding in an exclusive deal for your customers.

For e-commerce print that will definitely get everyone buzzing, these bee-utiful Stickers by Abby Cook Illustration are the perfect example. No matter how big or small the packages you send, they definitely don’t have to be plain! Something as simple as adding a unique Sticker to seal your Envelopes or your product wrapping infuses your orders with personality. The dual combination of a Round and Rectangle Sticker here would definitely have us excited to unwrap! (Plus we always love a good pun).

The creative wrapping that goes into every one of Hannah Wilde’s orders is definitely getting us excited for Christmas! Using a Sticker to seal your wrapping looks much neater than sellotape and is another simple way to add a little more branding to your orders. We also always appreciate when people take the time to add a Thank You Card to an order. Whether it’s on a Business Card, a Postcard or a full-on Greeting Card, it’s an easy way to show your customers just how much you appreciate their business and really shows the human side of your brand as well.
