At RacetopPrint, we believe that packaging can be a gateway to emotion, memory, and brand storytelling. That belief aligned perfectly when we met Serenique Scents—a home fragrance brand born from a deep personal journey toward stillness and self-care. Just as every candle, oil, or spray is crafted with purpose, we knew their packaging needed to echo that same intention.
1. Serenity in Every Fold: How Packaging Extends the Brand
Serenique Scents isn't just a home fragrance brand—it's a curated wellness experience, created by founder Michi Slaughter. After a career spent in the high-stakes world of public safety, Michi turned to fragrance as a form of emotional restoration. Her journey began with candle making as self-care and grew into a full line of soy candles, room sprays, and body oils — all rooted in serenity, individuality, and mindful living.
At RacetopPrint, we recognized a kindred spirit. Our commitment to creating high-quality, custom product packaging that speaks to a brand's essence aligns perfectly with Serenique Scents' dedication to intentional design. This partnership began not just with an order but with a shared belief: that thoughtful presentation can transform a simple product into a lasting emotional connection.
2. From Vision to Reality: The Birth of Custom-Branded Paper Bags
Michi envisioned every Serenique Scents order as a gift—"wrapped in love, sealed with care, and carried in something truly special." To bring that to life, RacetopPrint designed custom 4-side printed paper bags that felt elegant, serene, and distinctively hers.
Rather than leading the design process, our role focused on accurate production. Using artwork provided by Serenique Scents, we ensured maximum color fidelity through expert calibration and precision print execution. The result was a bag that preserved the brand’s softness and sophistication while meeting high standards for durability and sustainability.
From foil stamping to clean edge alignment and reinforced handles, every detail was thoughtfully executed to reflect Serenique Scents' values. This isn’t just packaging—it’s the first touchpoint of a luxury scent experience.
3. Elevating Emotional Experience Through Custom Packaging
For a brand built on wellness and stillness, packaging must be more than functional. RacetopPrint’s work with Serenique Scents proves that packaging for small businesses can serve as a powerful extension of brand identity.
"Now, each order I send out feels like a gift," Michi shared in a recent post. That feeling resonates with customers. The custom bags with logo adds a layer of exclusivity, making each item feel special before it's even unwrapped.
As highlighted in a Nielsen study, 64% of customers try a new product because the packaging catches their eye, and 41% repurchase because they prefer its design. For fragrance and lifestyle brands like Serenique Scents, packaging is a visual and tactile embodiment of the calming atmosphere they promise. It sets the tone before a customer even opens the product, offering a first impression that speaks volumes about the brand’s values. When done well, it reinforces emotional connection, builds trust, and turns everyday purchases into immersive experiences. In a market saturated with similar offerings, thoughtful custom product packaging becomes a silent ambassador—it invites, reassures, and lingers in memory.
4. A Shared Philosophy: Detail, Quality, and Brand Integrity
Both Serenique Scents and RacetopPrint believe in the power of detail. While Michi blends scent and serenity to help her customers slow down, RacetopPrint focuses on high-efficiency processes. With low MOQs, rapid sampling, and a dedication to capturing brand nuance, RacetopPrint is committed to helping sustainable brands grow authentically.
This shared attention to detail ensures every piece of packaging contributes meaningfully to the overall brand experience. From custom tote bags to candle labels, it’s about creating moments that linger—moments that reflect both beauty and purpose. Even hang tags became storytelling tools, reflecting intentionality and mindfulness.
As noted by the Harvard Business Review, olfactory branding builds immediate emotional connections that differentiate brands in crowded markets. Custom packaging is the first step toward unlocking that connection. By integrating tactile and visual elements in packaging, brands like Serenique Scents can more deeply anchor themselves in their customers’ memories.
5. Looking Ahead: Growing the Brand Together
This collaboration was only the beginning. RacetopPrint will continue to collaborate with Serenique Scents, from gift packaging ideas to sustainable upgrades. We’re excited to co-create the next chapter. As VistaPrint puts it, seasonal packaging is a simple but effective upgrade that keeps products feeling fresh and purchase-worthy.
