The day of love is approaching, and for brands of any size, it’s a chance to increase their sales with gift-ready and special packaging designs. The colour red, hearts, and chocolates are among the top things that might come to your mind when we mention Valentine’s day. But if we look back a few centuries, this day was connected to more sad and heartbroken facts, such as the story of Saint Valentine from Rome….interesting!

Valentine’s day is still ranked as the fourth largest spending holiday. So, brands and marketers should, with good reason, pay some extra attention to their products and packaging designs before this day arrives. If you’re looking for something a little different this year, we are so excited to introduce our gemstone closures.

We offer a wide range of box colours but if you’re sticking to the traditional then these options will definitely catch your eye:
