Packaging

For some time, I have wanted to make some sort of packaging for when I get a photo order in and I send it out.  For now, what I do is put the photo order in a plastic sleeve with some hard cardboard packing and slide it into a white mailing envelope that is around a 9x11 size.  I usually write with a sharpie on the envelope and I know that the images are safe and will not bend in the packaging.  This has frustrated me though because I feel that my photography is good but the presentation falls flat.  I want my clients to be excited to get the proofs/prints/product from me and feel like it is a special present that they are about to receive.  This year I have made efforts to change the direction my business is going in to get it into a higher gear.  I hired my very dear good friend to help me in the office and straighten out my papers and filing system.  She has been amazing at her job, fun to work with, and has had some great input for my business. My office is streamline, my desk is de-cluttered and my mind is free to create and put energy in other aspects of my business to make it successful in my eyes.  She recently found me a company that makes boxes for shipping.  I have ordered a bunch and have made some labels to put on the front of them as well. The box will be finished off with some white ribbon tied in a neat little bow and the inside will be lined with white tissue paper.  I am hoping the effect will be great on my clients.  Here are the products...I would love your input.  Feel free to comment.
