DESCRIPTION
Beautiful packaging should do more than look good.
The Mercateal Care Instructions Card Templates were created to help you give customers the practical information they need to care for their purchase while adding another thoughtful branded touchpoint to the unboxing experience.
Instead of sending a product home with generic instructions—or no instructions at all—you can include a professionally designed card that explains how to protect, clean, store, or maintain the item.
The collection includes 7 different Care Instructions templates, each designed for a specific product category, plus 1 coordinating Thank You Card.
Every template is editable in Canva, allowing you to customize the wording, colors, fonts, graphics, discount code, contact information, review request, and other details to match your own business.
Use them inside:
- Shipping boxes
- Gift packages
- Product bags
- Boutique orders
- Handmade product packaging
- Market purchases
- Customer gift boxes
- Subscription boxes
- Product inserts
- Thank-you packages
A small card can become an important part of the customer experience—helping your products last longer while showing customers that care continues even after the sale.
