Locks of Love: Custom Poly Mailing Bags for a Worthy Cause

Plus Packaging collaborated with Hillshire Graphics on a meaningful project for Locks of Love, in partnership with Pantene and ShopRite, for their “CARE BEYOND HAIR” event. This initiative took place in over 40 stores across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, encouraging donors to contribute their hair for a worthy cause.

The “CARE BEYOND HAIR” event aimed to collect hair donations to create wigs for individuals in need. During the event, professional hair stylists cut over 10 inches of hair from donors, and the braided ponytails were then placed in poly mailer bags to be sent to Locks of Love. The event was a major undertaking, requiring careful coordination and high-quality materials to ensure the success of the initiative.

Hillshire Graphics, tasked with managing the logistics of this event, required specialized custom poly mailing bags that could meet several stringent requirements:

• Durability: The mailers needed to be strong enough to securely transport the donated hair.
• Tamper-Evident: Ensuring the integrity of the donations during transit was crucial.
• Water-Resistant: The bags had to protect the contents from any potential water damage.
• High-Quality Printing: Multi-color printing was necessary to align with the branding of the event and its partners.
• Tight Deadline: With the event rapidly approaching, Hillshire Graphics needed these custom poly mailing bags delivered on a very tight schedule.

Plus Packaging rose to the challenge, providing Hillshire Graphics with custom poly mailing bags that not only met but exceeded their expectations.

• Material Selection: The chosen materials were carefully selected to ensure the mailers were durable, tamper-evident, and water-resistant, providing the necessary protection for the valuable hair donations.
• Custom Printing: The bags were printed with high-quality, multi-color designs that reflected the branding of the “CARE BEYOND HAIR” event and its sponsors, maintaining a consistent and professional appearance across all materials.
• Efficient Production and Delivery: Despite the tight deadline, Plus Packaging’s team worked efficiently to deliver the mailers on time, ensuring that Hillshire Graphics had everything they needed to support the event.

The process from design to delivery was a testament to Plus Packaging’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction:

• Initial Consultation: Plus Packaging’s team conducted thorough consultations with Hillshire Graphics to fully understand the event’s needs and the specific requirements for the custom poly mailing bags.
• Design and Production: After agreeing on the design, Plus Packaging quickly moved into production, creating mockups for approval before finalizing the order.
• On-Time Delivery: The final products were delivered on schedule, allowing the event to proceed without any logistical setbacks.
