Kits
A shot of "surprise & delight" with a chaser of ingenuity.
For this personalized PR mailer, we customized a fully printed shipping box with multiple flaps to embrace the “flip!” theme of the show, including: a printed logo on the inside lid flipped up to reveal a fun message, paper flaps in the box revealed gifting, additional show details and social media info. One of the flaps included the recipient’s name on a design that resembled the show’s contestant podium. Once flipped, the box held a branded tumbler, flavored drink fizzes, & two-sided coaster.
To introduce new favorite drinks to restaurant leaders, we designed this fully-printed shipping box with a custom drink reveal wheel. The cleverly crafted wheel spins to change Panda’s delicious sip with the drink’s name paired at the top. Panda leaders received a “Can of Swag” (filled with a patch, custom keychain, shoelaces, sticker sheet, and acrylic pins of the 4 new drink flavors). The "timely" panda swag continued with a branded watch with custom watch face and printed window cling.
We were excited to work with Make-a-Wish to create a “sounds of summer” themed gift to promote their upcoming fundraiser with online content creators. We customized the box with a custom band on the outside and an inside lid with messaging. The gifted items were presented with fun phrases to showcase the ASMR theme. Items included: a star sparkler, microphone cover, custom-stamped cookies, rain instrument, and pop rocks candy. Accessories were presented in Make-a-Wish blue in a "can of swag".
For a Trend Management gift, we created a “family crest” all about Dad (including icons to represent their favorite things – especially Pops Polos!). The crest adorned the outside of the shipping box with a striped band. The interior held a personalized Father’s day message, along with an adorable photo of the dad and their family. The polos were paired with an Instax camera and film to encourage snapping some pix of the fam as they celebrated in their matching polos!
There are some brands that are just plain fun. @smalls-sliders is one of them; cheeky, colorful, and playful - a great combination! Our friends at Smalls asked us to collaborate on the mailer headed to influencers and social media winners to celebrate the launch of their new Smorange Dreamsicle shake. The dreamy box held a bunch of branded goodies - a tumbler, sleep mask, hair ties, dream dust and stickers. Aaaaand now we’re craving a shake… thanks, Smalls ;-)
Cheers to you! The American College of Financial Services sent a celebratory gift to commemorate their annual Clambake & Solider-citizen Award. Contents included: an enamel challenge coin, salted caramel popcorn with a custom sticker, cocktail kit with a printed band, and a branded wine tumbler. The fully printed shipping box accommodated a lot of messaging on inside lid that included the history of the challenge coin gifted in the box.
Take care! Self Care! Sending your people a collection of items that make them feel cared for is a great way to communicate your appreciation. We curated this mailer for Dell|Microsoft with items that all carried messages of self care. A hand-poured soy candle, cozy socks, facial mask, printed tea tumbler, branded tea tin ("mental clari-tea"), lotion and a custom canvas pouch to hold everything. The shipping box was customized with a printed liner on the inside lid with special message.
Zero-G Experience sent this swag box to the thrill-seekers who booked a ticket on one of their gravity-defying flights. An embroidered baseball hat, branded metal water bottle, branded aviator glasses, and die-cut sticker pack were gifted to recipients to welcome them into the Zero-G family. This high-flying swag was sent in a shipping box with a printed inside lid and outside sticker.
When we collaborated with Target on this "Into the wintery woods" themed gift for the patients & families at St. Judes, we wanted it to be a fun, eye-catching vessel, easy to carry, & that could later be used as luggage or storage in the hospital. We illustrated a custom, fully-printed duffel bag in 2 color-ways, both designed to look like the carrier is holding a stack of logs. We added more flair with a custom metal luggage tag & branded mini sharpie, a hang-tag, & a light-up lantern keychain.
This custom activity box was part of the kit that we created with Target for the patients & families at St Jude. The bento-style box included: embroidered patches, custom postcards, branded pencils, a sharpener & store coupon. We designed the activity booklet with forest-themed games and puzzles, using Bullseye and the St. Jude Elephant as the main characters. The accordion format for the booklet allowed us to have inclusive language with activities in English on one side & Spanish on the other.
We designed an on-site experience with Target to deliver duffel bag kits to the families at St Jude. We created a path for the patients and families to follow to receive their gifts. Recipients were given this custom carrier at the beginning to collect their goodies along the way, including: hot cocoa packets, bullseye cookies, a gift card, and their custom canteen mug. The carrier design included a seek-and-find game to give the design multi-purpose usage.
The Coca-Cola Company sent these gifts to online-gamers who were competing in a tournament with proceeds going to the USO. They were personalized for each gamer with their name hand-painted on the branded cap and their logo printed on a bandana. The personalization continued on the inside lid liner and with printed names on Coke bottles. The box also included a branded confetti popper, “U,S,O” sparklers, branded soda bottle opener, and “Can O’ Swag”
This box presented visual data on a "dashboard" (printed cardstock panels) that was designed to reveal the items below in 3 sections (branded granola bars, a tea tin with custom label, comfy socks, mindfulness cards and a Purpose journal). Organizing the gifting like an informational dashboard and theming each section was created to resonate with recipients in-the-know.
Get your fan swag here! We created this soccer fan swag box for Bimbo Bakery. Contents included a custom printed door tag, branded travel mug, power bank, mini foam finger and branded coffee packet - all with fun soccer phrases. This gift is a winner, but who’s keeping score?
Sometimes it's just a carefully curated collection of cozy goods that does the trick. This mailer for Salesforce was all about sending warmth. A super-soft plaid blanket with their colorful logo embroidered and a Nest candle paired with colored matchsticks held in a glass cloche - all held in a white glossy box with magnetic lid and branded label. Our favorite detail: we illustrated their character icon to hold the same blanket that's in the box.
Fully printed shipping boxes for Florida State to send some Seminole swag to players who are now in the NFL. The box design is inspired by FSU’s iconic brand elements and phrases and include a note from Coach Norvell. A sound chip played the beloved war chant when the box was opened. Many of the players that received the gift “insta-ed” their box openings from their locker rooms - and even pranked team members who had played on rival teams with the sound chip. We see you, Graham Gano
We created “how to” engraved wooden boards built around each recipients initial, to make entertaining easy. When lifted from a custom platform, the board revealed a special message. Custom “CREATE” toothpicks added another “GGL” touch to the gift. Below the platform, we shared some of our favorite charcuterie additions. A box of recipe cards with Heather’s custom paintings on the front of each card made this set extra personal.
These mailers were created for Trend Management to send to their momfluencers. A fully printed shipping box opened for a big reveal – a window custom built into the lid showcased a sweatshirt embroidered with each of their children's names. Custom window clings with motivational messages were attached to the window. Sponsored products held in advent-style box wraps with fun messaging prompts. The inside of each wrap has sponsor information and storytelling.
For the launch of their new book, Cheap Old Houses, authors and HGTV stars, Elizabeth & Ethan Finkelstein, wanted to send a mailer that was filled with small gifts in addition to the signed hard-cover book. A playful puffy sticker sheet, a hotel-key keychain with fun phrasing and a personally-written postcard were held in the fully-printed shipping box was covered in photographic elements, a perfect compliment to the book cover.
