This simple technique will contribute to increased sales. Tins offer a nostalgic look or image of how maple syrup was sold in yesteryear, especially if the tins have attractive designs or unique shapes such as log cabins. Glass and plastic are also available in various shapes although tin is better at conveying a mood and image. As a marketing tool, tins appeal to tourists, individuals who are collectors, older buyers and those who would purchase a unique gift. Plastic containers have been the most popular maple syrup container type for the past several decades.
Plastic containers are inexpensive, recyclable and offer excellent syrup-keeping qualities.
They are also available in a variety of sizes, colors and styles. Boxes Boxes are the most common packaging used for maple candies. Boxes can be custom designed in nearly any shape or size desired. As with other containers, boxes can be an excellent merchandising tool if they are made attractive to the customer. Labels Labeling is part of packaging and consists of printed information describing the product offered.
