I've seen some companies do some great things with their packaging such as some sneaker tee companies packaging their tee's in small sized shoe boxes. Has anyone experimented with unique ways of packaging? Are there places where one could do this on a small scale to experiment with the response to this type of detail? Any thoughts would be great. thanks!

From what I've read here, custom packaging can't be done on a small scale (unless you are printing the packaging yourself).
Companies that do the cool custom package printing have pretty high minimums.

Have you thought about getting what ever type of box/bag whatever, and having custom labels made for the packaging? If you have designs already, you could take them to a sign shop and ask for a few labels. Most places dont have minimums and they shouldnt cost you big $$ to have a few done....slap them on your packaging and see how it goes.
I have tried a few different ways of packaging my stuff so far. I bag all of the clothes in a plastic poly bag to keep them fresh and add my own drop tags made from business cards. I attach them with a tag gun (great deals on ebay 6$ for a gun 6 needles and 1000’s of tags). But than to have a lil fun I have been putting shirts into a slip of old newspaper. I recently ordered a custom stamp with a design and my brand name on it that Im going to use on my shipping envelopes (which are made from recycled products which fits my the theme of my brand). So far people are feeling the extra lil something and have told me they like it. There really are so many ways to “test” a custom method without getting a billion boxes mad for big $$.
If I know in advance from the buyer and if the order is for a single t-shirt -- I ship the order out in a can
I have more fun canning shirts than making the shirt . . LOL*~

What kind of can would you ship it in? Got any pics?
I was using small plastic sleeves but don't want to use plastic for environmental reasons. So i have switched to tissue paper (various designs and colours to complement the tee), fold it, wrap it (add in my business cards, a care sheet and a promo magnet or two) and tie with a ribbon. I have a custom stamp and addy stamp on order so I will stamp and sticker the tissue shut and then stamp my envelope with the matching stamp in future.
FWIW
