Fast Branding Options this Christmas
28 September 2026
Christmas gifting comes with plenty of deadlines. From finalising your hamper contents to getting orders out the door, the festive season can leave little room for lengthy packaging development. If you’re looking to add your branding to your Christmas gifting this year, there’s another option - add your branding to our stocked products.
Our branding services are designed to give you the look and feel of custom packaging, without the longer lead times and higher minimum order quantities often associated with fully bespoke products. And with Christmas fast approaching, this can be a practical way to get branded gifting ready in time for the festive season.
Why choose branded stock for Christmas?
Fully bespoke packaging can be an excellent choice when you have enough time to develop something truly unique. But for seasonal campaigns, smaller runs, or last-minute requirements, it isn’t always the most practical route.
Our stocked product range is already available in the UK. This means we can apply your branding to selected products without manufacturing the packaging from scratch.
That means:
- Lower MOQs - suitable for smaller Christmas campaigns and gifting runs
- Shorter lead times - ideal when your festive deadlines are approaching
- More flexibility - use stocked packaging and customise the finishing touches
- Professional presentation - add your logo, artwork, or branding to create a cohesive gifting experience
- Less development time - there’s no need to design and manufacture an entirely new product
From corporate gifting and client hampers to Christmas promotions and retail collections, branded stock can be a straightforward way to make your packaging your own.
Five ways to add your branding
There are several ways to customise our stocked products, depending on the look you want to achieve.
Branded fabric liners
For a more immersive branded experience, add your artwork to a cotton hamper liner. Full-colour fabric printing can transform a standard wicker hamper into a recognisable part of your brand experience.
Branded liners work particularly well for Christmas hampers, corporate gifting, and premium food and drink collections.
Christmas deadline: 30th October
Belly bands
Belly bands offer a simple way to add branding around gift boxes, hampers, and other packaging. They can introduce your logo, seasonal messaging, or campaign artwork without changing the underlying packaging.
They’re particularly useful if you want to create a Christmas-specific look while keeping the packaging itself versatile.
Christmas deadline: 13th November
Stickers
Sometimes a small, branded detail can make a big difference. Branded stickers offer a flexible way to add your logo or seasonal artwork to packaging, tissue paper, boxes, bags, and more.
They’re a useful choice for smaller campaigns or when you want to introduce a festive branding element without committing to a fully customised product.
Christmas deadline: 13th November
Hamper lid stencilling
Put your brand directly onto the hamper with lid stencilling. Your logo or design can be applied to the wicker lid, creating a bold and instantly recognisable finish.
With minimum quantities from just 20 units and typical lead times of 1-2 weeks, stencilling is particularly well suited to smaller gifting runs and projects working to tight deadlines.
Christmas deadline: 13th November
Laser engraving
For wooden boxes, boards, and other suitable products, laser engraving creates a permanent branded finish.
It works particularly well for corporate gifts, premium food and drink gifting, PR packages, and Christmas gifts where the packaging is intended to become part of the gift itself.
Christmas deadline: 13th November
Branded ribbon
Complete your festive presentation with branded ribbon. Printed satin or grosgrain ribbon can bring your brand colours and identity through to the final finishing detail.
It’s a particularly effective way to create consistency across different packaging formats, even when you’re using several different products within your Christmas range.
Christmas deadline: 13th November
Make your Christmas packaging your own
You don’t always need a completely bespoke product to create packaging that feels unique to your brand. By combining our UK-stocked gift packaging with the right branding treatment, you can create a professional, recognisable, and distinctively branded Christmas gifting experience - with lower minimums and shorter lead times than a fully bespoke project.
Whether you’re preparing corporate Christmas gifts, launching a seasonal hamper range or creating branded gifts for customers and clients, our team can help you find the right combination of product and branding.
