I'm always looking for neat ways to package our stationery. Taking off-the-shelf packaging that's intended for another industry or purpose especially appeals to me. I can spend hours reading through the uline catalogue because they have so many simple things that can be re-purposed in a clever way. Here's our new chinese-takeout-box package for our (new) tie-on gift tags. Each little takeout box has inside 6 square letterpress-printed gift tags and 6 lengths of grosgrain ribbon so you can write the "to" and "from" and attach it to the present. The box makes a set of tags an unusual gift in itself, and keeps the tags clean and safe until you need to use them (versus little cello-wrap packages that most gift tags come in). And you can re-use the takeout box afterwards. Right now we have birthday tags (hot pink or mossy green) or tags for wine (aubergine on cream paper).
