Managing stress is all part of the job, and when life gets a little hectic, Crystal turns to embroidery to relax her mind. She hopes that her customers, too, find solace in stitching through their hand embroidery kits and pass on the skill for generations to come.

As part of Sunday Mornings’ holiday initiatives, Crystal packages their customer purchases with a free custom postcard for her thank-you notes. 

“These postcards are packaging essentials because we want to include freebies in every order. We hope our customers enjoy expanding their postcard collection.”

Lavender Caps

Working in healthcare can be emotionally taxing, especially in the new normal. But Lavender Caps founder Lisa Feddor aims to add a dash of fun and whimsy to their industry. As a registered dental hygienist, she started crafting scrub caps when new PPE recommendations were established.

With the help of PrintRunner, Lisa printed logo stickers to update her holiday packaging. 

“Having a large supply of my Lavender Caps logo stickers from PrintRunner on hand helps to customize my packaging and make it look professional.” 

Lavender Caps add a pop of color to your healthcare uniform, show individuality, and make a thoughtful gift for the frontliners in your life.

Gilded Willow Collective is a treasure trove of unique and decorative pieces crafted by artisans with sustainable methods and minimal waste in mind. As a way of giving back, a portion of the proceeds from each item sold is donated to a nonprofit helping children in poverty and who need emotional support.

Running this kind of business needs audience awareness, so Britanny turned to PrintRunner for essential print products. In the beginning stages of her company, she used classic business cards and flyers to talk to people and leave in coffee shops. For holiday promotions, custom stickers are the go-to promotional tool.

“Stickers are just so versatile! They can make a great final touch on our packaging, an accessory on a water bottle and car, or as a little sentimental piece.” 

As Christmas markets are becoming more popular, she also recommends tabletop banners as an effective way to display seasonal products.
