Custom Label Service

Custom labels... they're not just for weddings anymore.

This summer we were chosen to create 2500 event favors for the Canadian Tourism Commission. Our Maple Sugar flavor was a natural fit for them, of course. They provided us with their logo design for the lollipop bag labels, and the final product looked great -- not that I'm biased or anything!

The turnaround time for custom projects such as this is approximately 5 weeks. This allows for time to update the designs to your specifications, and to get the labels printed and hand-applied to each individual bag before your candy is made to order. Otherwise, we'd be unwrapping and re-wrapping candy once the bags were ready - which would be not very efficient!

You needn't supply us with artwork if you prefer simply to update the text on our existing label designs. That's what the John Fluevog shoe company did, when they chose us to create favors for the opening of their company "Flueseum" in Calgary, AB. They selected Blueberry Muffin flavor, which they re-christened "Flueberry Muffin" for their party:

Halloween is Coming!

Boo! This cute little ghost is hanging on tightly to her Maple Sugar lollipop because Halloween is just around the corner, on Wednesday October 31st. Do you have your costume yet?

If you’re including lollipops at your party or for trick-or-treaters, the U.S. order deadline is Tuesday October 23rd.

• After the 23rd, you can take your chances, or choose expedited shipping when you place an order in our Etsy shop.
• Last-minute Seattle-based shoppers can also choose local pickup for Oct 28 or 29.

The international order deadline is nearly upon us: Monday October 8. And of course, earlier is always better for international shopping, because packages can take an unpredictable amount of time to clear your country’s customs/import procedures.

Thank you, and Happy Halloween! Seattle readers, stay tuned for news about our adult trick-or-treat event…

Etsy Gift Cards

Have you heard? Etsy recently announced some pretty cool news. This fall, they'll begin selling Gift Cards that customers can use in any shop that uses Etsy's credit card processing system -- which we do.

If there's an Etsy addict in your life --ahem, maybe that's you-- consider getting her an Etsy Gift Card so she can go on a shopping spree through her favorites. If it were me, I might nab this travel mug:

or maybe indulge my out-of-control handmade bath & body obsessions some more:

The point is, a gift card lets you "treat yo self"!
