Die cut, high gloss paper bags in a variety of colours. These are a really nice way of changing something that is originally quite simple. Through the use of pattern and a simple die cut, these paper bags have been transformed. The use of cut out is something I want to look at. The purpose of this could be as a handle or to show the contents of the bag.

Party favour bags. Biodegradable, recyclable, semi-opaque, and food-safe.

Simple text or pattern has transformed these simple party favour bags into something extremely fun and appropriate to a younger audience. The product becomes a lot more playful and becomes something that perhaps the buyer would want to keep.

Candy cups.

Different ways of presenting the type of sweets that you would receive at the circus. As the confectionary needs to be easily accessible during the show, this is possibly something I could look into using. However, this is not something really that the consumer could carry home or put in their bags to eat later.

Treat boxes with clear visible windows.

These visible windows seem like a great idea. I want to have a go at creating something a bit different, and will look at mixing this idea in with the party favour bags.

'Old fashioned thin glazed semitransparent glassine bags. Grease and moisture resistant, sweet and simple, these lovely bags are perfect for presenting and wrapping sweet little treats.

Glassine bags were first invented in the 1920s so this makes these a perfect "vintage" bag for packaging, wedding favours etc. They feel and look lovely. Wrap with ribbon or Bakers twine for a great presented gift.'
