One of our favorite experiences with Digiwrap custom printed tissue paper is hearing about how all of you creative people out there decide to use the product. We love all of the crafts and interesting things people decoupage, we’ve seen PR companies make tissue lanterns, and it’s been used in unique and custom wedding invitations. Recently, we had a customer send us one of the most remarkable uses of our tissue paper yet:

We asked the maker about it, and he said he makes "stick and tissue" retro rubber powered model airplanes—“FreeFlight.” He was interested in trying out Digiwrap tissue paper because of the ability to create a custom design. And we are glad he did—what a beauty!

We have created several step-by-step instructions for other interesting uses of custom tissue paper, including pinantas, cupcake toppers, wedding favor boxes, envelop liners, and more. Check out our simple tutorials for ideas!

When people purchase a custom gift bag, it’s often treasured by the recipient.  Where most gift bags are used and tossed, a personalized gift bag becomes a keepsake.  It’s part of the gift. (Sometimes the best, most personal part!)

We are innovating products every day, and our next bag is coming out soon. For a sneak peak, we are presenting another out-of-the-bag idea just in time for Mother’s Day. Elevate flowers to a new level by personalizing the package using this 5” custom gift bag. The flowers, which came in a 4” pot and are available in most grocery store floral departments, have a plastic liner that fits perfectly into the gift bag. This gives mom, or anyone special in your life, the perfect reason to hang onto and display the bag for all to see.

Interested in ordering your own custom bag for your flower gift? It is not yet available online, but as a special insider you can order one upon request. Email the sales team at sales@digi-wrap.com and ask about the “Flower Gift Bag.” We will help you create incredibly personalized gifts for your loved ones.

As a part of the gift wrap industry, we understand celebration. And as a custom gift wrap company, we understand that some things are worth such a high level of celebration that wrapping you can buy at any old store just won’t do. Gift wrap customer Nikki turned to Digiwrap when she was about to attend the ultimate family party—a celebration of life for her Great Uncle Keag, who had passed away recently, and an 80th birthday party for his wife, Great Aunt Helen.

Nikki says her Great Aunt Helen is a total character. Throughout the party, she cracked everyone up, as usual. To Nikki, she said, “You know, I am recently single if you have any friends you can introduce me to." In fact, the picture Nikki picked for the personalized tissue paper is this one—which Nikki says is a common theme in her photos of Great Aunt Helen:

Great Uncle Keag was a character as well. During his celebration of life, most of the crowd was surprised to find out that he was a stunt driver Dan Keenors Hurricane Hell Drivers In the late 60s and early 70s. At the ceremony, his sister-in-law told the crowd, ”He along with the other stunt drivers thrilled fair audiences around America by doing their precision driving, driving through fire, and standing on top of cars while they were being driven through fire. They would jump their cars over 5 or six other cars, roll their cars to come out unscathed. They were billed as America's first crash dummies." Of course this fun family would come from that kind of stock.

At the celebration of life, Great Uncle Keag was remembered well with some funny stories and some tears.

Then the family moved to the church gathering room for Great Aunt Helen’s 80th birthday celebration. They say with gifts that “it’s the thought that counts,” and if that’s true, nothing says you thought about it more than wrapping with a personal photo, name, or quote. Take a look at the gift wrap below—it doesn’t matter what is inside these gifts. Throughout the party, when anyone passed the table, they stopped and admired.

When Great Aunt Helen opened her gifts, she was so gentle with the tissue paper and bag—she wanted to save every piece of it. Then she looked closer and realized that the tissue paper had the picture of her flipping people off. She said, "Oh no, you are going to show this picture of me? This is so bad, we are in church!" Nikki laughed and said, "Aunt Helen, I have heard you swear at least twelve times today in this church." After they laughed together, Nikki added, “Besides this is my favorite flip-off picture of you and there are a lot to choose from."

Great Aunt Helen thought the custom gift wrap was so special that she plans to frame the extra pieces. Happy Birthday, Great Aunt Helen! We are glad you had such a great celebration of life for Great Uncle Keag and partied well for your 80th trip around the sun!

Earlier this year, we were honored to be asked to speak at two of the countries top conventions for print and design: DScoop, held in Phoenix, and How Design Live in Chicago. Scoop is an experiential and fast-paced conference for those in the digital printing and graphics industry. How Design Live is one of the largest annual gatherings of creative professionals in the world. At both events, we got to speak about our innovative products, our marketing and creative process, and our recent exciting adventure on ABC’s Shark Tank.

During the DScoop presentation, we showed our ABC Shark Tank clip as well as a personalized message from our favorite Shark, Kevin O’Leary. In his clip, O’Leary said Digiwrap “exemplifies the innovation happening in the printing industry.” Thank you for your kind words, Kevin!

Here are a few photos from our presentation:

We also were fortunate at that event to win an Inkspiration Award for our fully custom gift bag!

At How Design Live, we joined Sabine Lenz, the founder of PaperSpecs.com to talk about hot print designs and trends. At our booth, we welcomed visitors and even vendors to design their own personalized bag on the spot in just minutes. We were able to print and produce our visitors’ creations for pick up during the event! As you can see, visitors took their bags in many different directions and had a lot of fun doing so!

Digiwrap recently attended (and presented at!) DScoop, an experiential and fast-paced conference for those in the digital printing and graphics industry. While there, we decided to enter into their “Inkspiration” contest, where members submitted their most innovative and creative work to be reviewed by a judging panel of industry experts.

We were excited to submit, but when reviewing the categories, we had a hard time finding one to match up with our product and unique printing processes. We decided to submit a fully custom gift bag in a high resolution photography category. When we say the bag was fully custom, we mean it—everything was printed, including the bag, tissue paper, and ribbon handle.

The judges agreed that the fully custom gift bag didn’t fit a category, but they were excited to award us with something because they thought the product was superb. Later we learned that one of the judges was so enthusiastic about the quality of the product and printing, she said, “They just have to win, so they will win!” They ended up creating a “Judge’s Choice” category to recognize the product!

We are so honored to have won this award from experts in the industry!

We were asked by one of the judges to speak with her on stage at the “How Show” in Chicago on May 3 and 4. Stay tuned for more info on that event!

Occasionally orders for custom tissue paper come through that are so interesting and eye-catching that we have to know the intended use. This was the case with some map-printed tissue paper a few months ago. The design was interesting, and they made a special request to ship the tissue paper totally flat without rolling. After printing and shipping, we followed up with the customer because we were dying to know what they were planning to do with it. The answer did not disappoint!

The order came from Melisa Rodio and her mother Noreen Rochford. The two women own Live Love Party Designs. They put together a unique, totally beautiful wedding invitation for a couple who were planning a destination wedding in Puerto Rico. The tissue paper was used in place of a pocket fold to wrap the invitation prior to slipping it in the envelope.

The bride wanted something lightweight, as she would be sending quite a few invitations via international mail—so tissue paper was just the thing! Live Love Party Designs created a vintage style map. They wrapped the invitation in a trifold, tied a cord around it, and from the cord hung a little wooden airplane cutout with the bride and groom’s names engraved on it.

Totally gorgeous results!

This year we had the exciting experience of auditioning to be on Shark Tank. So many people who know are very curious about how we got on the show. Here’s our story of our successful open casting call!

For various reasons which you can read here, we didn’t make the final decision to go to the Open Casting Call until the night prior. We hatched a plan over the phone and our crazy journey began. We wanted to showcase our unique custom printed tissue paper as much as possible, so we actually printed our application on our tissue paper. When we handed it in on the tissue paper, the woman accepting the applications was baffled. It was fun to tell her that this was our product.

We were so excited to show the features we love most about Digiwrap—our tissue paper is custom printed in high quality, with bright and accurate colors, and the process is incredibly fast. Also, you can print just one sheet if you want.

So here is what we did to highlight those features:

Once we received our wristband, we took a picture in front of the building wearing the wristband.

Then we rushed to the office and designed a tissue paper using that photo.

We then printed the tissue paper and brought it with to deliver our one-minute pitch just a few hours later. Regular paper version and tissue paper version, handed it to them and they asked why it was on tissue paper. Give the one-minute pitch.

In the end, they must have been impressed because that’s where our chaotic journey into the Shark Tank began! Tune in to ABC on Friday, December 9 at 8pm Central Time to see the results!

Let’s face it—when it comes to giving gifts at the holidays, you are not a fan of hours and hours of wrapping. And while you love the crisp wrapping paper edges that a perfect-sized box can deliver, you often end up with way more wonky-shaped items that refuse to be beautifully wrapped with normal wrapping paper. But gift bags? Too impersonal? Not anymore! You can order custom gift bags for a special way to wrap presents for a special someone.

Consider a custom gift bag to show off your family photo or to celebrate a baby who was born this year. Or imagine the squeals of joy from your kids if each one has a personalized bag under the tree from Santa on Christmas morning!

Check out a few Christmas and holiday gift bag options printed by Digiwrap. The design options are endless, with options to customize and personalize galore. And the quality is extremely highly rated. Order yours on Zazzle today!
