2012 Hot Color!

A surprising new hue has been named "color of the year" for 2012.  It has been appearing in all industries and may already be familiar to you.  Are you ready?  Introducing "Boyz-N-Berry", a deep, rich purple with slight red undertones, essentially it has become the mainstream purple.  Classic and elegant, this hot color also emotes a young spark.  It shows a changing mindset in todays social atmosphere, exuding the unconventional, spiritual, meditative, yet impulsive ideals.  It is serene, calm, yet in-control.  It is so 2012!


Boyz-N-Berry is also a hue for creativity and irreverence and shows its popularity and versatility in all markets, from hospitality to home, from the youth market to luxury goods.   No longer isolated as a feminine color, real men wear purple, just ask Obama!


Boyz-N-Berry in design projects

• Purple is the natural complement to yellow which is the underlying color of the new lighter wood tones.  It also makes a wonderful accent color for spaces that have yellow shades which are prevalent in many laminates and vinyls.
• A warm taupe coupled with purple will invoke a feeling of trust and serenity.  (Yellow and purple is said to be the most healing combination).
• Creams and whites added to purple can create a sense of fresh openness.  Whites constitute a large part of the color story representing the consumer "need" for cleansing and renewal.
• Grey paired with purple and cream completes the understated elegance.   Pop it with brighter hues for a youthful appeal.

Updating your color  doesn't need to be a bank breaking adventure.  It can be as simple as altering your signage color, point of purchase brochures and packaging.  Packaging is the simplest way to change a color story.  You can change tissue paper and bag colors quite easily.  Add a decorative ribbon, label or gift wrap.  Adding the right color can soothe and inspire your clientele into a more positive retail experience that will enhance both their shopping experience and your bottom line!

Dots Rule the Runway...Why not your Packaging?

 

Pair different size dots, or mix a striking color with bold large dots

The classic look of dots is making an impact on the world of fashion.  What better way to get over the gloominess of our current economic blues than to add a high impact and "fun" dot theme to your packaging?

 

Cheer things up with a sheet of Dotty Tissue Paper. Change a mood instantly!

Dots are actually rather versatile!  Go for large dots if it's a memorable look you're craving.  Or, subtle tiny dots for less drama.  It's also open to experimentation, try dots on dots, or blend a bold solid color with your dots.

 

Dots are versatile and classic! Gift Wrap designs such as these can be used for the Holidays, or all year long!

Dots this Fall are here to stay, make use of them with a smile!

Add Value with Exceptional ...yet Affordable Ribbon

I've always found that one of the most effective ways to add glamour and pizazz to my gift wrapping is to add an exceptional ribbon.  When it comes to bow-making, personally, I gravitate towards the simple solution.  That would mean the "shoe-lace" bow.   We all know how to tie one of those!

Adding a satin or organza ribbon this way gives your packaging that extra wham and glam.  There's nothing like the joyful expectation created by opening a gift by beginning to pull off elegant ribbon from a bag or a box.  It certainly adds value to the wrapping, as well, it makes whatever it is in the package become extra special (with ribbon like that, it's got to be good!).

Next time you're challenged to spice up your in-store gift-wrapping, remember the simple solutions in life and add a bit o' ribbon! 

Check out our newest offerings in the ribbon department, affordable (yet exceptional!) satin, organza and grosgrain ribbons.  Don't forget, all our ribbons are also available custom imprinted.  What better way to get your name out in a classic, and elegant way?
