Oompa Loompa Favor Box.
No, I am not repeating my designs. I have made a version of this Oompa Loompa favor box item before….see HERE. But that version was not able to be changed by the user, I would have to make the changes.
It’s not that I have issue with adding in custom text or personalizing the items to a customers specifications. It more that things move faster these days. People, including myself really don’t wan’t to wait to get things done. Especially if there are ways to just get things done faster and in the comfort and convenience of their own home.
People are busy and there are not enough hours in the day.
I’m sure like me, you also have a never ending “to do” list, I just try to do my part to help myself and others be able to check items off of there lists faster.
I have been slowly trying to create more self editing instant downloads (huge emphasis on the slowly part) and updating some of the items in my shop so that the customer can get what they want, when they want, without waiting 24-48 hours for me to do it for them.
There are some things the user needs to know…
Before attempting to download, edit and print the items at home. I get that not everyone understands how to do this, so I tried my very best to give as much information and resources available, so that they can personalize the item the way that they choose. A detailed info graphic is included with each download that outlines the necessary steps.
The files are in a PDF format, this means that you would need a reader to be able to open, see, edit and print the favor box. If you don’t have a reader Adobe offers one for free, which you can download for absolutely free HERE.
There are some differences
from the original “as is” version of this favor box. Firstly, the font has changed to something that fits the area a bit better, allowing for more text to be added by the user if needed.
There are two lines available for text, which for the most part can fit typical phrases and other occasions that favors are used for.
The original version of this had the image of the Oompa Loompa’s face on the back and front. But with this editable version, the back of the Oompa Loompa is just the back of its head.
The size is still pretty much the same as the original , the only thing that really changed was the front font and that it can be instantly downloaded, edited by the user and printed at home.
Since I tend to get a lot of repeat questions. I will try to answer a few of them here…
What kind of paper should I print this on? Well although this seems pretty obvious to me, it may not be that obvious to others. The thicker the paper or heavier the weight, the more sturdy the boxes will be when they are done. But don’t print it on such thick paper that it becomes difficult to fold it neatly when assembling it. Also every printer has certain specifications on the paper it is able to print on, so be sure to check before you purchase the paper.
Can you resize this? At this point it is designed to be printed on Letter sized paper that measures 8-1/2 x 11. AT this point I haven’t fully worked out the details of other paper sizes such as A4 and such, but do hope to work out the kinks with sizing in the near future.
What if I can’t print at home? Then once you have made the necessary changes to the file, you can save it and upload to a local copy shop to be printed; like Staples, Office Max and Kinkos just to name a few.
Just be sure to bring the permission to reprint the image with you. This is included with the download. If you still have roadblocks, please contact me and I’ll be happy to help
I am excited to start this new part of my shop. And I feel that the options will continue to give more creative options for the customer, to help them bring their Willy Wonka Parties and all the other occasions to full fruition in a cost effective way.
I hope you find this new version, even better than the first! Feel free to let me know how it works out for you!
