How I Make And Package My Products From Start To Finish ✶ Bookmarks, Backing Cards, Prints And More!

☆☆☆
Today I wanted to share with you how I make and package my products for my small business at home! Including how I make my bookmarks, My backing cards, prints and even my packaging material! I remember when I first started my small business it was always the little thing's like "how can I make backing cards?" and "what print setting should I be using" That got me the most! So I hope this video can help some folks who are starting their small businesses and help clear up some of the smaller questions you may have!

Do you prefer to make your products at home or go to a manufacturer? I personally like the control of making things at home but I love the time-saving and high quality of going to a professional manufacturer. which is why I do a mixture of both! 😂

Caught part of your first live today, well done!! Great video I love the backings and your working method. I make most of everything at home.. well not the blanks but I order them and print on them via print sublimation. I will have to take some of your packaging advice as I don't really include much except stickers of the design in some of my orders.

@@bellacosy Thank you! The livestream was really fun! I'm hoping to do one on KZbin soon as well! And I'm glad my tips helped!

[@zebrasbean2385]

This is so helpful!!! Loads of show owners don’t share things like this because they are scared of competitors but actually your supporting other small businesses like yours !!

[@AbiNova]

Aw thanks! I'm really glad I could help!

This video is the best I've seen in such a long time. I love your channel so much, thank you for everything you share with us 💖

Hope to see your review on Vograce. I am planning to use them some time here soon but did not have time for the craft show I have coming up. I love making my own items with the exception of memo pads...it is so time consuming.

[@AbiNova]

Yes I will be doing a short/ reel unboxing / review and I have also filmed my thoughts which will be included in my next studio vlog! I never even thought of making memo pads at home! I would love to branch into doing memo pads!

I came across your channel this morning, and this lovely little video; a joy to watch! Do you print your bookmarks on normal A4 printer paper before you laminate them? Also what size bookmarks do you make? Lastly, how easy is it to use a corner punch, do you need to be careful that they're all even or is it an easy thing to get right each time?

[@AbiNova]

Thank you so much! I do print them on A4 and I scale them down in photoshop to 6" by 2". And yes! It's super easy to use a corner cutter! The paper just slots in and they all cut to the same size!

[@asayeed2853]

Wonderful, thank you so much!

What app? For design

[@AbiNova]

I use a mix of clip studio paint and photoshop to make my designs

[@Elysianwisdom33]

I am juggling ALL OF THIS RIGHT NOW 😂😩 This is how it looks; Illustrate… purchase printer/Cricut… Printed and cut stickers after tons of research ie buying skillshare and subscriptions to KZbin creators like you! Then realise quickly I now need to teach myself from scratch photoshop after realising that my Procreate files aren’t popping as bright on my stickers with my Epson inkjet printer… Then you mention cmyk… I think I have rgb selected 🫠🎉 There’s always soooo much to learn… we have the same printer ❤ I now need a guliotine to cut to size my cards …. More to do! Waiting patiently to add to my equipment *meh

[@AbiNova]

There's always so much that goes into making products! I'm really glad you found this video helpful though! I'm slowly trying to build my army of equipment for my small business too 😂
