Paden22 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Hey guys, I am going to start selling 6.5" and 8.5" swimbaits and am looking at what the best, most cost effective option is for packaging. I also want some sort of lure display card or something that shows the brand and name of the bait etc. What is the best way to go about this and are there certain websites that are the best? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barr5150 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 I just ordered a bunch of plastic hanging boxes from clearbags.com. They are very similar to what some of the "big guys" use and they're cheap. Not sure if they offer them large enough for you application though. Another option if your only building a few styles but a bunch of them would be blister packaging or slide blisters. There's allot of companies online doing it but the minimum order is usually very high. Unfortunately I'm not there yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodkaman Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Mr.T - you could make a BIG deal of it, after all, we have a planet to save and it need not always mean bad news for lure builders. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) I can't stand paying 50 cents knowing someone is just gonna trash the package.therest has to be somewhere cheaper You are looking at your pricing structure wrong..... You aren't paying anything they are paying for the packaging and at a rate higher than actual cost of purchasing. No one is going to flinch at the cost it adds to a true custom made lure and if they do frankly you are better off without that type of customer.

Mr.t Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Your right. But the lower the cost I can get for the customer the better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barr5150 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 These are the boxes from clearbags. They were only $0.20 each. I didn't think it was bad at all. Very nice quality. Print the packing cards yourself, preferably at work so you don't have to pay for ink Also, look into a company called "Avery" for stickers and labels. Very affordable and you can do it all yourself without having to pay a print shop big dough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodkaman Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Barr5150 - thanks for posting, good information. What a super price, no way home made can compete with that. Dave Edited January 14, 2016 by Vodkaman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass100 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 That is the packaging I use but I get my labels from onlinelabels.com as they are much cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Mac Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 It would be cool if you could find compost-able packaging! Maybe something like the cellulose based packaging? Another marketing ploy too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
