So, I talk a lot about gifts and unique gift ideas on this blog. Every once in awhile I decide to write about some other aspect of gift-giving. In this case, the art of beautiful wrapping!! But not gift-wrapping, per se. Instead – making the package you are sending more appealing.
Through a class I was teaching, I met someone involved in TapeSwell, and after learning about the products and seeing the output of people using the decorative packing tapes, I immediately wanted to do a blog post about TapeSwell.
The use of decorative packing/shipping tape is probably only limited by your creativity (and time!!).
TapeSwell’s products are ideal for the individual “Martha Stewart-Type” person, small business owners, artisans, handmade gift makers, party planners, and people who generally care about gift presentation.
Products
Below are images of a few of the product categories:
At the time of this post, most individual tape rolls are $7.00, most Combo Packs are $20.00, and Envelope Wraps run around $13.00.
TapeSwell has a large number of colors, patterns, and styles/themes. If you like what you see, this is a great way to support a small business and get that extra “oooh, aaah” factor when you give your gift.
