Design and Colour

Both design and colour play an important role in hampers.

Design:

With hampers available for every occasion throughout the year from Christmas to Birthday surprises and everything in between. There is always an occasion a hamper can be used. With the global focus on sustainability print design hampers are a useful addition to your inventory stock.

Colour:

Red as we know signifies love and romance so a popular choice for Valentines Day. Brown is often seen as a solid reliable colour and is often associated with resilience and dependability. White is all about resilience, dependability, security and safety or perhaps they are wanting the more rustic French farmhouse style. Black is a stable colour used predominantly in corporates or for that classic black look for sophistication and style.

Hampers can be for both the corporate gifting market and can be very formal through to the informal “homemade/rustic” look which can appeal to a different end user market especially with the rise of care packages, don’t just think COVID but University students going away from home for the first time!

What size?

There are so many different hamper sizes to choose from the general rule of thumb is that a rectangular large hamper size (339L x 259W x 120H mm) easily fits two wine bottles and some chocolates or extra treats. Likewise an X-large hamper (450L x 310W x 156H mm) will comfortably fit 3 wine bottles or perhaps a beach towel/robe.  These type of hampers can be finished off by a clear lid, black lid or cellophane.

A flare tray is useful for those occasions where you just need that extra space such as a teddy for a baby shower hamper. Finish off with some cellophane and a pull bow for that finish touch.

How do I know what size to use?
