Christmas is coming fast, and with it a lot of gift shopping. Every year many retailers and manufacturers lower their prices and offer discounts to encourage customers to buy from them. But sometimes, this isn’t enough.

The retail industry is highly competitive, especially during the holiday season, and so it is necessary to stand out from other sellers/products. A simple, yet very effective way of doing this, is by focusing on the packaging and how the product is presented to the buyer. The packaging, while not the most important thing, is what is going to influence the buyer’s first impression. First impressions are very important, as products need to catch the customers’ eye, or they can quickly move on.

High Impact Polystyrene (HIPs) provides a simple solution for this. HIPs is used by packaging suppliers to create attractive point-of-sale containers for things such as cosmetics and toys. HIPs also provides gift manufacturers with a solution for not only attractive but also practical gift packaging.

HIPs is involved even before products hit the shelves. They need to be transported safely, and so with vacuum formed sale trays made with HIPs, products can be kept safely, with no risk of damage.

Once these products do reach the stores, point-of-sale displays produced with vacuum formed HIPs rolls can provide sellers with a charming alternative for displaying their products.

HIPs is also perfect if you are looking for environmentally friendly options. It can be produced from 100% recycled material for some products, as well as being able to be recycled. Its lightweight properties mean that transport costs are low, and because it is such a strong material you don’t need to use as much compared to other less strong plastics. The fact that it is so strong is also an advantage when it comes to transportation, as it easily protects good, reducing damage risks.
