style=\"font-weight: 400;\">custom printed boxes are awesome<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But they\u2019re not the only branded packaging option you have<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Don\u2019t get stuck on one idea. You can impress your customers with a fully branded box that\u2019s not printed too. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Check out some of these ideas to get you started:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a custom rubber stamp to put your logo on the box. Stamps come in all types of sizes, so for bigger impact invest in an extra large stamp to cover the front of your box. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stickers are another great, low-cost way to promote your brand. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can spice up a plain brown box with branded or colorful tape to seal it up. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who says it has to be a box? If your products aren\u2019t fragile try flexible, printed kraft or poly mailers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, the box is only one element of your memorable packaging. \u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can fully customize and beautify your internal packaging for maximum protection and branding. Add colorful tissue paper or crinkle cut kraft paper to cushion your products. Added extras like small gifts, or a simple thank you note also increase the wow factor. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Source Cost-Friendly Materials<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"905\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1068\" src=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Source-Cost-Friendly-Materials-packaging-budget.jpg\" alt=\"Source Cost-Friendly Materials packaging budget\" srcset=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Source-Cost-Friendly-Materials-packaging-budget.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Source-Cost-Friendly-Materials-packaging-budget-966x583.jpg 966w, https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Source-Cost-Friendly-Materials-packaging-budget-1024x618.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Source-Cost-Friendly-Materials-packaging-budget-768x463.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with everything in life, not all products are created equal or have the same price, so devote some time to doing research to save money.
