Your Holiday Packaging Advantage

Your Holiday Packaging Advantage with Julie Rotuno

Holiday displays? Check. Seasonal merchandise? Check. A growing list of things to do before the busiest shopping season of the year? Very much check.

But what about your packaging?

The holidays offer independent retailers an opportunity to make the shopping experience feel extra special, and that doesn't necessarily mean starting from scratch. A seasonal ribbon, a change of tissue paper, or a thoughtful gift-wrapping option can give everyday purchases a festive touch without overhauling your entire setup.

In a follow-up conversation with Cathy Donovan Wagner on the Richer Retailer podcast, Mid-Atlantic Packaging CEO Julie Rotuno shares how retailers can approach holiday packaging with creativity and practicality in mind. From seasonal updates to gift-ready purchases, the conversation explores ways to make the holidays memorable for customers while keeping your business's needs in view.
