Vanilla Boutique, Fermoy
Kate Browne, of Vanilla Boutique, talks about how she views our high-quality branded bags as essential advertising, because when customers reuse a bag, it extends the brand's reach to other locations. Kates trust in the our long-term industry experience, helps them visualize and create high-quality finished products. As a family-owned boutique, she values working with another family business, and the importance of personal "face-to-face" connections and mutual support.
“I trust them because they're in the business longer so they can visualize the finished product.”
“To see the bag walking around is the whole point of it, it's advertising. If people love the bag, they use it again. If I see somebody using the bag a second time, that's just magic.”
"Caroline came into us and just showed us what was possible and we were always told it wasn't because we wanted the beautiful gold gilt and we were delighted.

family business and they're a family working together. We understand it and we're all just working hard to do our best. It's nice to support and to know the face face-to-face."

“I implore you to use Alliance Packaging for all your packaging needs. You will not regret this decision I promise you.”
“I had an idea... a dream that my artwork would be delivered to my customers in this beautiful and unique packaging. Upon contacting a few places and being turned away or in one case almost ridiculed, I happened across the amazing Caroline and Alliance Packaging. I explained to Caroline my idea and she was so enthusiastic about my design that she renewed my own self confidence and made me want to fight for my dream.
Caroline was insightful, understanding and extremely helpful along with being incredibly easy to talk to over the phone. She helped me visualize all different possible outcomes and not once did I ever feel pushed in a certain direction by her. The decisions to be made were always mine but Caroline made sure I was educated with every option before I committed to the one design. The moment came when I had my bespoke packaging in my hands and to say Alliance Packaging got it right is not enough. What they did is the stuff of dreams. They took every single detail of my design and made it a reality. The quality, the richness and absolute beauty of my packaging is second to none.
I implore you to use Alliance Packaging for all your packaging needs. You will not regret this decision I promise you. I already look forward to working with Caroline and Co. of Alliance Packaging again. From the bottom of my heart Caroline and all at Alliance Packaging, you have made my dream a reality and I thank you wholeheartedly.”

“... Alliance Packaging places as much care & attention on the small orders as the big ones… the small businesses as well as the big...”
My sister & I are starting a new business & Laurence assisted me in 2021 in relation to an order of boxes. I hadn’t a clue where to start & I’d been in contact with a few other companies before Alliance. We gave the business to Alliance based obviously on the quality of your work which I received samples of, but also because of Laurence. Covid has delayed everything slightly, the business is wedding related & with restrictions last year, they were mostly postponed. We’re now moving forward again & I’m dealing with Laurence in relation to a small piece of business that certainly won’t make you up for the year! Seems to me that Alliance Packaging places as much care & attention on the small orders as the big ones… the small businesses as well as the big.
