Members mmirob Posted June 7, 2011 Members Report Posted June 7, 2011 I wanted to get some ideas from you guys on what you do/use to package or deliver your finished goods. I mostly make holsters and belts and and when someone picks up the holster I usually just hand them the finished product. I feel as if perception is everything and if someone takes delivery of a $200 holster it should be wrapped, covered, bagged....something! Even a $10 watch in walmart has a box! There has to be a reasonably priced packaging that is rustic enough to sport a holster or belt. Let the ideas flow, what do you use? Quote
KAYAK45 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 What kind of holsters and belts? Concealment, western LEO? You already use undercover concealed packaging. They cannot see it! Right? Seriously I think your correct. I'd like to see what others do also. Quote Once believed in GOD and the DOllAR...... Hello God!
Members Glendon Posted June 8, 2011 Members Report Posted June 8, 2011 I don't know anything about retail packaging personally. but the question got me curious so I did a little googling around. Something like these merchandise bags would probably do the trick. You can get a case of 1000 for anywhere from $15 to $40 depending on size and material. You could print up some stickers with a basic logo pretty cheap to slap on the bags and I'd say you can call it done. Quote

KAYAK45 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 Now, lets work on this idea awhile. I've seen the Campbell ads showing them sew a coin on leather. Nice ad. You've got a very nice makers mark. I don't know about you, but I seem to make scraps (abbreviation for small crap) get it? OK, work with me here. Small,even cheap???, cardboard box with your makers mark on s..craps of leather??? sew it on. Work on it. Might just go somewhere. Quote Once believed in GOD and the DOllAR...... Hello God!

There has to be a reasonably priced packaging that is rustic enough to sport a holster or belt. Let the ideas flow, what do you use? What's the size on those holsters?...how big of a box do you need? I can e-mail you some pics of few nice boxes..not the cheapest boxes around, but worth every penny in my oppinion.There is a store about 10min away from me that sells pretty much only packaging stuff ..from paper bags to cake boxes ...aluminium boxes....cardboard boxes with transparent lids ...and so much more.I will probably be able to give you the name of the store, phone #, web-site(if they have one) by the end of next week along with few pics of boxes that might work for your holsters Quote

Even the leather (sCraps) idea too. I have an embosser so I could gold emboss on a box. Size: 2 inches high. 6in X 8in should accommodate most holsters. Quote
Members ABC3 Posted June 23, 2011 Members Report Posted June 23, 2011 We don't do concealment holsters anymore, just don't have the time but each belt that leaves the shop is housed in a plastic sleeve. We buy them in large rolls and cut as needed. Quote NRA Member Certified Firearms Instructor www.agcustomgunleather.com

Members ABC3 Posted June 23, 2011 Members Report Posted June 23, 2011 No I don't have a pic, this morning but it's a clear flat roll of light weight plastic and when you cut the disired length off it open up into a tube. We joke around the shop and call them condoms. Does that help ? Not sure what you mean by a plastic sleeve. Do you have a Pic? Thanks!
