Wrapped in Wonder: The Nutcracker Project
Known for spreading festive cheer all year long, The Nutcracker needed packaging that lived up to the magic. ESC created a full range of branded materials, designed to handle the demands of busy retail while keeping that enchanting look and feel.
From gift boxes to carrier bags, every piece was designed with purpose — functional enough for high footfall and visually cohesive for strong brand recall. Our team manages everything behind the scenes, so The Nutcracker never runs out during peak shopping periods.
The result? A packaging suite that delights customers from the moment they step into the shop to the moment they walk out with a beautifully wrapped purchase.
