Wrapping and Packaging Tips

Amanda Formaro of Thrifty Fun suggests all sorts of fun ways to package your home-baked goodies. Use mason jars to stack cookies, or wrap shortbreads in colorful wraps. Baskets provide a great presentation for multiple baked goods in one package. Read more of these great suggestions here.

Once you've picked your presentation, pick out a box that will fit your goodies. If too large, make sure you pack soft packing material around your product so that it does not move around (this is important!) Tell your post office serviceman that you are shipping a baked good to see if they have any other helpful advice.
