Custom Retail Packaging To Maximise Sales This Christmas

Bring the Festive Spirit to Life with Custom Retail Packaging and POS Displays

As the festive season approaches, retailers across the UK are busy transforming their stores into winter wonderlands, and your retail packaging plays a bigger role in that transformation than you might think. Christmas is the most competitive shopping period of the year. Standing out on crowded shelves and inspiring impulse purchases depends heavily on how your products are presented, packaged, and promoted.

That’s where Complete Packaging comes in, the UK’s trusted specialist in retail packaging design and point of sale displays.

Why Christmas Retail Packaging Matters More Than Ever

With so many brands fighting for the same festive attention, packaging becomes your silent salesperson. It’s the first touchpoint customers have with your product and one of the strongest influences on whether it ends up in their shopping basket.

At Christmas, shoppers are drawn to packaging that feels special, giftable, and aligned with the season’s spirit. Whether it’s a custom retail box with festive foiling or a beautifully crafted POS display stand that captures the sparkle of the holidays, thoughtful design can elevate your product from shelf to gift in seconds.

Creating Retail Packaging That Connects Emotionally

Our retail packaging solutions are crafted to tell your brand story while engaging customers at an emotional level.

Through our retail packaging design service, we combine creativity with commercial insight, ensuring every element, from material choice and structure to finish and print, contributes to a memorable customer experience. Whether you’re launching a limited-edition Christmas range or updating your year-round packaging for the festive season, our team brings your ideas to life with precision and flair.

We use advanced CAD packaging design technology to visualise concepts before production, ensuring every detail looks and performs perfectly on the shelf.

Driving Sales with Powerful Point of Sale Displays

During peak retail periods, point of sale displays are the unsung heroes of in-store marketing. They not only increase product visibility but also encourage spontaneous purchases when customers are already in a buying mindset.

Our POS display stands are designed to tell your brand story, highlight promotions, and create a visually captivating retail experience. From counter-top units and free-standing display stands to bespoke cardboard displays for Christmas campaigns, we design each solution to blend creativity with functionality.

Because we handle both retail packaging and POS display design, Complete Packaging ensures your entire in-store presentation works seamlessly together. The result? Cohesive, branded, and eye-catching campaigns that boost sales and strengthen brand recall long after the decorations come down.
