How to create your own gourmet hamper: things to know

Hampers are essential sales items for retailers. They encourage purchases and enable cross-selling of a multitude of local product combinations. This is an opportunity for professionals to gain increased visibility during gift-giving periods such as Easter, Christmas, Mother's Day, and Father's Day. It's an art to master for all professionals who want to highlight their partner producers and offer their customers the best packaging for gourmet gifts.

 

How to package your hamper?

 

The  kraft bag does not succeed in enhancing the articles from your partner producers. To enhance them with a neat presentation and elegant visibility of bottle and local product associations, professionals must select the best packaging: the  hamper basket. This will be a sales detail that will significantly improve your customers' reviews and shopping experience.  

Choose your base material (wood, kraft cardboard, bamboo, or wicker) and your shape (rectangle, oval, round, or square) from the wide selection of packaging available in stock. Your packaging will depend on the model selected.

 

 

 

 

Choosing the right basket

 

The  cardboard basket  does not come in a single format. It is available in different sizes and shapes, from round or oval to rectangular, to perfectly match your gourmet gift box. The advantage of having different models is the possibility of creating hampers specifically for your clientele and their budget.

Cav’Service offers a wide choice of baskets, from kraft cardboard to wicker, including metal, bamboo, and wood. Most of our models are ready to use for undeniable time savings at checkout. Others, like some of our kraft cardboard baskets, are semi-automatic or assembled by yourself at the time of sale.

For color choices, it's à la carte! Professionals can choose a basket with patterns created by Cav’Service or they can opt for a personalized basket with their patterns and in their company colors.

Protecting your hamper well

 

The  packing shreds  will be ideal for protecting your products and also for adding character to your gourmet gift box. With a wooden or cardboard basket, they greatly improve the presentation of gift combinations. They add a more festive look to your basket while ensuring solidity during transport.

Made of synthetic or paper, packing shreds are essential for creating hampers. We have a wide range of colors in stock to meet all your requests. Also, fall for the transparent version of the packing shred for a glittery basket with luminous patterns!

 

 

 

Finishing your basket carefully

 

Consider every detail of your shopping experience and add the final touch to your basket using opaque or transparent wrapping paper. Our paper rolls, whether kraft or polypropylene, are of high quality and adapt to all basket sizes.

We have printed patterns and illustrations for all tastes, and we also offer professionals the possibility to personalize their own kraft wrapping paper. A brilliant idea to develop your visual identity and extend your communication.

Discover the exclusive Cav’Service novelty with the transparent paper pouch designed to facilitate the packaging of your hamper. Available in two sizes, our packaging pouch adapts to every basket. You simply slide your basket inside and add ribbon and other decorative accessories as you wish. Your customer maintains visibility of the gift combinations, and you save valuable time during the purchase.  

 

 

What to put in a hamper?

 

The advantage of the hamper is that it can accommodate all types of products from your partner producers. Oval or rectangular in shape, the basket is made for creating gifts with combinations of bottles and local products. Thanks to our different sizes and dimensions, you can offer a truly qualitative service when making hampers or gourmet gift boxes. And what if you slipped a  personalized corkscrew  with your store's logo into your customers' hamper?  

 

 

Small-sized baskets

 

Change from kraft bags with the various wicker, cardboard, or bamboo baskets. Perfect for low-priced hampers, they allow you to select your best products. The oval or rectangular banneton format can accommodate a bottle of your choice accompanied by another local product (sausage, pâté...).  

An eco-friendly solution to encourage even small budgets to buy!

 

Large and medium-sized baskets

 

When it comes to larger baskets, the choices are endless! From the perfect gourmet basket for gifts to the thematic basket (local products, special Christmas basket, or special aperitif basket) ideal for highlighting your partner producers, it's you, or your client, who decides on the product combinations!
