Hamper Layering Blueprint

A step-by-step layout for premium Gouda gifting hampers.

1. Base Structure — Foundation Layer

• Use kraft shred or wood wool to build a cushioned 2–3 cm base.
• Ensures stability and prevents sinking during transport.

2. Cheese Layer — Core Product

• Place Gouda wheels/wedges as the hero items in the center.
• Heaviest cheese pieces go at the bottom.
• Use padding to prevent shifting.

3. Gourmet Sides Layer — Secondary Items

• Arrange crackers, nuts, dried fruits, honey, chutney around cheese.
• Place heavier jars near the cheese, fragile items away from corners.

4. Decorative Layer — Luxury Visual Finish

• Add rosemary sprigs, gold accents, or seasonal elements.
• Keep fresh botanicals only for same-day delivery.

5. Branding & Documentation

• Place pairing card, storage guide, and brand card on the top layer.

6. Final Close & Secure

• Add tissue layer before closing.
• Secure with ribbon or seal sticker.
• Perform a gentle shake test — nothing should move.
