🎄 Turn Your Tin Packaging Into A Holiday Showstopper

Welcome to Part 2 of our holiday packaging series. This time, we’re diving into how to make the most of stock tins for Christmas. In Part 1, we explored custom packaging options—but what if you’re working with ready-made tins?
Let’s explore how to make them shine.
🎨 Choose the Right Colour Palette
Start by selecting colours that evoke the holiday spirit. Classic festive tones like silver, red, and gold are always a hit. These colours can stand alone for a sleek, modern look or be enhanced with bows, ribbons, or seasonal accents for a more traditional feel.
🏷️ Add Personality with Labels
Labels are one of the easiest and most effective ways to give your tins a festive twist. Use seasonal graphics, patterns, or messaging to create a holiday vibe. Labels also offer a chance to tell your brand story—something that can boost emotional connection and engagement. Don’t be afraid to test a few designs before committing to your final look.
🎀 Accessorise for Impact
Accessories can take your packaging from basic to brilliant. Think beyond the label—add texture and charm with festive ribbons, twine, or even mini ornaments. Just be sure your additions align with your brand’s tone and don’t compromise the perceived quality of your product.
Here are a few festive add-ons to consider:
- Holiday-themed string or cord
- Faux mistletoe or pine sprigs
- Magnetic lid toppers
- Limited-edition holiday stickers
- Branded gift tags or seals
📸 Use It in Your Marketing
Once your tins are dressed for the season, put them to work in your marketing. Capture high-quality photos and videos to use across your website, social media, and digital ads. A well-styled product shot can boost visibility and get customers excited about holiday shopping.
🎁 Enhance the Unboxing Experience
Want to go a step further? Think about how your packaging feels when opened. Consider placing your tin inside a decorative cardboard box or adding a festive insert. These small touches turn your packaging into part of the gift—and that’s exactly what holiday shoppers are looking for.
✅ Key Considerations
- Before you start decorating, keep these essentials in mind:
- Quality – Your packaging should reflect the value of your product
- Cost – Stay within budget while maximising visual impact
- Functionality – Ensure your packaging is practical and scalable
