Should we change our 500ml 'Ice Cream' tubs?

We have to make a decision by tomorrow as to whether we are re-branding our current 'ice cream' tubs or keeping them thesame for approximatley another year. 
We will be keeping the size and type of tub and lid the same but could change anything to do with the artwork on the tub...

Would you like to see an image of some scoops of the 'ice cream' on the front of the tub?
Would you like to see a different colour theme overall on the tubs?
Would you like to see different text on the front of the tubs?
What information about our 'ice cream' is the most important to you?
What makes an 'ice cream' tub eye catching to you?

Please leave any feedback you have as a comment to help us make a decision!!

Thank you very much :)

NEW LIFE FOR OLD TUBS...

We recently faced a bit of a conundrum… what to do with several thousand unused ‘ice cream’ tubs which were no longer useful for production because they contained outdated information and artwork. Then Tina, our Quality Control Supervisor, had a great idea… why not give them away to local schools to use for arts and crafts activities?

So, off we went in search of interested recipients and were delighted to find no less than 13 schools and one play therapist more than happy to take our ‘useless’ packaging and give it a new lease of life!

We have now donated something in the region of 4000 old, unused ice cream tubs and 6000 lids to a the schools and organisations listed below. This packaging was out of date and destined for the dump but will now be painted, cut-up, glued and glittered instead, which is excellent news for the schools, their children and the environment.

We’ll be keeping in touch with the schools and will hopefully be able to report back soon with news of exactly what our old tubs have been turned in to!

Good luck and happy creating to the children at:

The Claire School, Norwich

Alderman Swindell Infant School, Gt Yarmouth

Corton Primary School

Wroughton Infants, Gorleston

St Margaret’s Infants, Lowestoft

Herman Primary, Gorleston

St Nicholas Nursery, Gt Yarmouth

Hillside Primary, Bradwell

St Marys R.C School, Gorleston

Cliff Park High School, Gorleston

Southtown First School, Gt Yarmouth

Priory First School, Gt Yarmouth

Ormsby Middle School

Nurturing Beauty, Security and Hope

As you may be aware our exquisite Luxury Gift Boxes are handmade and painted by a community of artists in Kashmir, a country torn apart by political unrest and extreme poverty. We are proud of our artists, all members of the company Persian Dowry who we’ve been working with for 7 years, and we remain immensely grateful for all the hard work they put in to creating our beautiful boxes and Easter Eggs. Their achievements are made all the more remarkable when we consider the harsh conditions they live and work in.
Kashmir is situated between Pakistan and India and the situation there doesn’t receive much attention from the British media. But we know that our friends there are living under the constant shadow of severe violence. They also face daily practical challenges of curfews, road blocks and disrupted transport links. When we consider that there have been times, very recently, when basic food and medical supplies have been almost impossible to come by, it is miraculous indeed that our artists manage to keep creating, keep working and consistently fulfil our orders. It is invariably difficult for both our artists and their materials to move around and our most recent shipment was delayed for a number of weeks for fear of the boxes being looted on their way out of Srinagar.
Our trade with the artists of Persian Dowry is essential to the livelihood of more than 80 families and we are committed to maintaining this relationship for many years to come. Our trading arrangements are designed to nurture security, with long term contracts paying above the market rate, and we are delighted that our friends in Srinagar have been honoured with a Best Exporter of the Year Award for the last two years. It is a testament to their commitment, professionalism and courage.
