BE A GIFT DESIGNER
WHAT'S YOUR DESIGN STYLE?
Article & Designs by Debbie Quintana, founder of The Gift Basket Association
Don't just grab whatever you have in your job to create a gift. Plan your design, be a designer. When I first started designing gift baskets nearly 25 years ago, I ordered supplies from distributors, shopped retail and kinda just put them together without much . regard for quality, color, margin, coordination or pricing. Fast forward to today and I am all about all of those things. More important, I am a gift basket DESIGNER. Being a designer means you care about the style of your gifts. Sometimes that means all of your gifts are that same style or you have different styles amongst your line of gift baskets. Either way, style is important which is why when we designed packaging for Qterie, we were very careful. Here are the styles we attempted to create for your design style. Make no mistake about it, we understand the needs of designers and have created a standard line of "choose your color". Easy.
Natural, Neutral & Kraft From kraft and white wrapped summer sausage to balsa wood hoops with spreadable cheese, we've designed packaging and selected products that meet the needs of the designer who appreciates a natural rustic design. Minimalistic, Simple & Monotone Black, white and grey are the favorites of minimalistic, sleek designers. Simple, modern fonts, black boxes, glossy white bags are among the packaging we've selected to fit these designers. Fun, Funky & Suggestive Our whimsical series is colorful and has pairing suggestionss on the label. Great for the designer who likes to incorporate bright colors and fun into their designs. We hope we've enabled you to design the way you want.

What is the difference between real cheese and processed cheese?
For gift basket designers, pasteurized process cheese is the next best thing to natural cheese. It eliminates the need for refrigeration. Our white zinfandel and cabernet sauvignon cheeses contain real wines.
"Pasteurized processed cheese is a food product made by mixing and heating natural cheeses with other unfermented dairy ingredients, emulsifiers, food colourings, salt or whey. Processed cheese exists in many textures, flavors and colors. Processed cheese accounts for a large section of cheese sales since they have a longer shelf life than most other cheeses and are less expensive. Compared to natural cheese, processed cheeses retain their texture and do not separate when melted plus preserve the original taste."
In short, for gift basket designers, pasteurized process cheese is the next best thing to natural cheese. It eliminates the need for refrigeration. And, our white zinfandel and cabernet sauvignon cheeses contain real wine. It might be important to note that we buy our cheese from one of the leading manufacturers in Wisconsin. It's transported via refrigerated truck and kept at the perfect temperature in our warehouse until it's time to be added to a gift basket or shipped out. The average shelf life is 12 months on our cheeses. Say cheese!
