“This is my everyday packaging for my portrait studio. My photography is very bold and clean so I’ve made my packaging to match my brand. I keep to a simple, but bright color scheme that matches my logo, website, business cards, etc. The boxes are from HB Photo, the flash drive is from Pexagon Tech, the bags are from HB Photo and Uline, and the ribbons are from a local craft store.”
-Michelle, Silvine Photography
Entry #16 is by On Three Photography – it’s a treat to look at and to open!

“Boxes and bags are from HB Photo Packaging. Love them! And the elastic bows are life-savers! I work from the same premise as the ‘little black dress’ these boxes can be dressed up – or are classic left plain! Stickers are from Zazzle – I always order x-large and small and I use them EVERYWHERE. Envelopes are from Staples – great for cds – they look just like a shutter! I include gum balls with each order as a thank you. (I’m a bubble gum addict!) You can find any color at Party City or Amazon.
I am always on the look out for ‘company colors’ and pick up and containers/wrapping paper where I find it – found several of the green tubes and use them for gift certificates and auction donations. (They are attention grabbers for sure!)
Our company provides portrait sessions that are ‘creative, relaxed (and FUN!)’ and I think our packaging really reflects this!”
