Packaging Advice

[aquarium plant food UK]

We make and sell a dry aquarium plant food, normally we sell in dosing bottles that the customer fills with water to make the mix. I also sell a refill packet, which is basically a ziplock bag and label.

While the customers I have have no problem with it, we are trying to get in to some shops and online sites to sell it on, as well as our own. We sell 4 sizes 250ml(50g in weight), 500ml(100g), 1000ml(200g), 2000ml(400g) packet sizes

What would another cheapish option be for packaging? I don't want to increase the price hugely as one of the benefits is the price. In a small box? Inside a Blister Pack? Basically we want to promote it as more profesional than it looks at the moment, so people will try it when they see it. Looks great in the dosing bottles we have, but refils not so.

Any idea's that might help.

I'd go with boxes.Less chance of RM from damaging them! Also a good useable surface to print on.Finally easier for shops to stack.Good luck with it.

What about a foil zip lock pouches that you sometimes find the posh dried fruit it?

A quick search has brought up this:

I'm sure there are plenty of other sites. Might be worth checking ebay too..
