With thoughtful packaging, you can turn a routine delivery into something special. Enhancing your customer’s experience, but encouraging loyalty and positive word-of-mouth well into the new year.
At Springpack, we know that packaging plays a vital role in presentation and perception. Here are some creative, practical, and sustainable Christmas packaging ideas to help your brand stand out this Christmas.
Add a Seasonal Touch with Tissue Paper
Tissue paper is one of the simplest ways to introduce a festive feel to your packaging. Choose classic Christmas colours such as red, green, and white to create an instant sense of celebration. You could alternate colours for contrast, or add a metallic option such as gold or silver for a premium finish.
At Springpack, we can custom make any colour of tissue paper, allowing you to personalise your packaging to match your brand.
Adding in your logo or adding festive motifs such as snowflakes, stars, or snowmen can really work to make your packaging memorable and position you as a brand with personality.
Festive Printed Boxes
The outer box is the first thing your customer sees, so it makes sense to make it stand out. A seasonally printed box instantly creates excitement and sets the tone for what’s inside. As your packaging is often the first tangible experience of your brand that your customer has, especially if you are an online business. Making this first experience reflect your brand’s personality can go a long way to building a great customer relationship.
Consider designs that feature Christmas trees, snowflakes, reindeer, or stars. Alternatively, you could have boxes printed to resemble wrapped gifts with ribbons and bows for an extra festive touch!
If your brand prefers a more minimalist style, a subtle snowflake pattern or a tasteful “Merry Christmas” message can be just as effective, too.
Springpack’s custom printed boxes can be tailored to any theme, ensuring you maintain brand consistency while celebrating the season. All of our boxes are fully recyclable, helping you balance creativity with environmental responsibility.
A festive printed box could even be reused for a Christmas Gift to be sent out, reducing the need for wrapping paper.
Add Festive Flair with Custom Printed Tape
Printed tape may seem like a small detail, but it can make a big difference to your overall presentation. Using branded or festive printed tape is a cost-effective way to inject Christmas spirit into your packaging without redesigning your boxes.
You could choose designs featuring snowflakes, or greetings such as “Merry Christmas”.
A simple change to red or green tape can give your parcels a seasonal upgrade. Springpack offers custom printed tape options, including eco-friendly paper tape available as gummed, self adhesive, or reinforced.
Include a Personal Touch with a Christmas Card or Thank You Note
The festive season is a time for gratitude, making it the ideal moment to thank your customers for their support. Including a Christmas card or branded thank you note inside your parcels is a small gesture that leaves a lasting impression.
A short message wishing your customers a Merry Christmas and thanking them for their loyalty adds warmth and sincerity. For returning customers, consider adding a small incentive such as a discount code for the new year.
Keep It Sustainable
Sustainability remains a key consideration for both businesses and consumers, even at Christmas. Eco-friendly packaging does not mean sacrificing festive appeal. By choosing a material that can be easily reused or recycled, you can demonstrate environmental responsibility while still creating beautifully presented parcels.
Springpack offers an extensive range of eco packaging solutions, including recyclable cardboard boxes, paper-based tapes, compostable mailers, and biodegradable void fill.

Bringing It All Together
estive packaging is not only about spreading cheer. It is also an opportunity to reinforce your brand identity. A consistent design across your packaging materials helps your customers recognise your brand instantly.
Whether you use custom Christmas Packaging, printed tape, or branded tissue paper, keeping your colours and messaging cohesive builds trust and familiarity. Eye-catching packaging also increases shareability. Customers are far more likely to photograph and share beautifully wrapped parcels on social media, giving your brand valuable organic exposure during the busiest shopping period of the year.
Creating festive packaging does not need to be complicated or costly. By combining a few key elements such as seasonal tissue paper, printed boxes, custom tape, and a personal thank you card, you can create an enjoyable unboxing experience that delights your customers and strengthens your brand.
Whether your business favours traditional Christmas colours or a modern minimalist style, the most important thing is to make your packaging feel festive, personal, and true to your brand values.
