Most retail stores require $2m minimum. We ran into a hotel chain requesting $5m so we'll be going through a dist. for that instead since they have that type of coverage.
If you've been on the fence about these hot sauce boxes for retail, shipping and hot sauce gift sets... we're going to be running a sale on them. Make sure you follow us on instagram to get the discount code in a day or two.
Block of ingredients text has the same problem by the way. Are you the one that is going to be standing in the store reading your label and buying your own sauce? Awesome! Print your text with massive mistakes and don't care about easy reading for the real customers. Sometimes it doesn't come...
From a typesetting standpoint the description in the upper left hand corner has way to many wide rivers running through it. This is typesetting 101, your designer should've caught those. I'd suggest aligning it to the left with a ragged right, it'll close all the gaps.
Looking real good.
On another topic.
We've been tossing this blog idea around. Would everyone be interested if we started blogging on the Hot Sauce Box website on how to better market, brand, sell etc. your hot sauces? Let us know. If the interest isn't really there we won't spend the...
As "THE HOT PEPPER" said... go with your gut. Design by community or committee is never a good idea. I was in the deign/branding/marketing industry for 20+ years prior to being a farmer and hot sauce maker. The projects that went awry were the ones with to many people involved. We even had a...
With these Hot Sauce Boxes there is no need for extra foam, bubble wrap etc. It was created to reduce materials, especially plastics and be more compostable and environmentally friendly. There is very little wiggle room once they're packed. We've shipped our sauces around the World with no breakage.
I'm involved as a partner with them and help with design and R&D. Previous to making hot sauce I was in the design industry for 20+ years.
I'll get this info in and get it back to both of you. I can tell you for custom printing on the box itself you'd want to go with no less than 1500.
Lucky...
We customized it with our branding and a label. We use it to ship with and as a gift box and sell a ton of them as gift boxes. This year Tommy Bahamas even picked us up and purchased our custom branded version of this box for their stores nationally. Yes they can do custom versions of it...
Right on, I wish I could say the same about time. No offense taken. Hearing feedback and different perspectives are always great.
No intention for a 6 or 8 bottle package. This was designed for the sweet spot which is for 2 or 3 bottles. If you need to send 6 bottles, 2 boxes and two...
If you don't mind, how many double bubble wrapped bottles can you mail in a single package? And is the cost of shipping below $5.70? Out of 75 orders we'd have zero breakage. How much time does it take you to pack a single order with this method?
Thanks for the feedback Lucky Dog, I understand you might think it's a wash. But the time involved packing bubble wrapped and taped bottles will take about 4x or more longer. I can load, pack and put the shipping label on at a rate of about 1 per minute. The other side of the equation is the...
Shipping isn't from Hawaii, it's from MI. The shipping costs are on the front page of the website here http://hotsaucebox.com and with a minimum order shipping is free.
Not sure when a 10 or 12oz version will be made. There are other packaging systems in the works.
