London 2012 saw the pinnacle of sporting endeavour come to the UK, but the competition was not restricted to the Olympic venues last summer. In the packaging world, companies sought to gain every possible advantage at an incredibly busy time of year and using custom printed mailing bags was one of the most popular methods.

Customised mailbags featuring logos and sales messages help companies to distinguish themselves in a similar way to using carrier bags. In a competitive marketplace, a smart, clear branding message on a package or parcel can help a company stand out from the crowd.

Bespoke packaging shows that a company means business. It increases brand visibility and provides an extra form of marketing that doesn't cost the earth.
