Introducing Our New Dotty Fish Packaging: Fresh, Fun, and Functional!
At Dotty Fish, we’re always looking for ways to improve not just our products but also the experience of receiving and using them. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our brand-new zip-lock doodle packaging for our soft sole shoes, suede slippers, leather sandals, and cotton booties! This fresh new look isn’t just about style—it’s designed with practicality and creativity in mind, offering a more functional and reusable option for our customers. (Please note, our rubber sole shoes will continue to come in either a box or organza bag.)
Why the Change?
We’ve been using organza bags for many years and felt it was time for something that offered more fun and versatility. Our new zip-lock bags, which match our paper mailing bags, offer a few key benefits that we hope will enhance your Dotty Fish experience:
- Better Protection: The flat, resealable design helps keep our Dotty Fish shoes in great shape during shipping and storage, ensuring they arrive at your door in the best possible condition.
- More Useful: The zip-lock bags are perfect for reusing around the house, and we hope you find them as handy as we do!
...they’re designed to be more practical, reusable, and recyclable than our old packaging—adding more value to your everyday life.
While the new bags are made from plastic, they’re designed to be more practical, reusable, and recyclable than our old packaging—adding more value to your everyday life. These bags are also readily recyclable through normal household recycling, making it easier to dispose of them responsibly when they’ve reached the end of their use.
Creative and Practical Uses for Your Dotty Fish Zip-lock Bags
Once you’ve unpacked your little one’s shoes, these zip-lock bags have plenty of life left in them. Here are some fun and functional ways to reuse them:
- Toiletry Bag: Ideal for storing travel-sized toiletries for weekends away or keeping essentials like nappies and wipes organised in your changing bag.
- Snack Pack: Perfect for carrying snacks when you’re out and about. They help keep your handbag or car clutter-free! (Please use wrapped treats only—our bags are not food-grade!)
- Arts & Crafts Holder: Use them to store crayons, stickers, or small craft supplies for rainy day activities.
- Puzzle or Lego Storage: Great for tidying up small toys, like puzzle pieces or Lego blocks, keeping things organised and easy to grab for playtime.
Colour In Our Dotty Fish Doodle!
Our Dotty Fish doodle, printed on the front of each zip-lock bag, adds a playful and creative twist to the packaging. It’s not just part of our branding—it’s designed to be coloured in! Adults and older kids can enjoy a mindful activity by using marker pens (which work best) to bring the doodle to life. For younger children, our matching paper mailing bags can be coloured with pencils or crayons, making it a fun activity for the whole family. This little touch adds an extra layer of engagement, turning our packaging into something you can personalise and enjoy.
Repurposing Our Old Organza Bags
Now that we’ve updated our packaging, we have a surplus of organza bags that we don’t want to simply throw away, and we encourage you not to let yours go to waste either! If you have any extra bags at home, there are plenty of creative ways to repurpose them. We turned our leftover bags into cute DIY mini pumpkins! It’s been a fun, eco-friendly way to give these bags a second life—let us know if you'd like a tutorial!
We’re really excited about this change and can’t wait to hear what you think! Not only does this new packaging reflect our brand’s fun, playful style, but it’s also designed to be as useful and practical as possible for busy parents. Whether you’re repurposing them for travel or adding a mindful colouring moment to your day, we hope this fresh new look brings a little extra joy to your Dotty Fish experience.
Feel free to share your creative ideas for reusing our packaging with us—we’d love to see them!
Thank you for being part of the Dotty Fish family, and we can’t wait to send your next pair of shoes in our brand-new bags!
