How to Secure Gift Basket Items

Posted on October 31, 2008

A snug fit ensures that gift basket products stay anchored and uprightPatti asks:

“What do you use to secure the items in the gift basket?”

Designers attempt to match the number of products with the basket’s size.

This matching assures that the products fit snugly into each design so everything is secure and does not shift during delivery.

When necessary, tape-based products are placed on and between products for added stability. This includes:

  • Tape from a dispenser
  • Dots of glue
  • Hot glue emitted from a glue gun

    • There was a time when we added lots of tape to a gift basket design. Now we eliminate as much tape as possible in exchange for the snug fit I mentioned above.
