You may need packaging that carries your store name without printing the whole box. A packaging band sticker, or Wrap Style, lets you customise part of the pack with a sticker that wraps around it, combining brand display with help in closing the pack, depending on the design and how it is applied. The idea works when you measure the path the band follows and lay out the elements according to the faces the customer will see.
Measure the full path
Use a paper strip around the box in the proposed position, and mark the start point, the end point and the overlap needed. Do not rely on the width of one face to calculate the length of the sticker; the band may pass over the lid and around the sides. Photograph the mock-up from the front and back to show the fold positions when preparing the file or discussing the size. For more on sizes, read the sticker size guide for packaging, boxes and bags.
Spread the design across the visible areas
Put the logo on the main face, and place the short phrase or contact details where they can be read without constantly turning the box. Avoid putting an important word on the edge of a fold. You can set aside a small area for the season or collection name while keeping the basic identity, so you can use the idea with different products.
Test opening and packing
Ask how the customer will open the box, and whether the band has to be removed or partly cut. Then test packing several boxes to check that it is easy to apply and that positions are consistent. If the packaging has openings or a rough surface, you may need to change the path of the sticker or the material. Real testing helps you settle on a design that serves the product instead of adding a complicated step to packing.
The band can work with a small card inside the box, especially if you have instructions or a longer message. For a custom design, send the dimensions of the pack, photos, the proposed length, the quantity and the file. Take a look at the packaging band sticker at ENJOY STORE in the stickers category to customise your boxes to their size. A well-planned band gives the packaging clear room for identity and keeps the display simple.
