Including branded pack-ins, such as Affinity Licensed Product® (ALP) hologram stickers or hang tags, is the official way to show customers they are purchasing authentic licensed products. These pack-ins are required when selling Affinity Licensed Products and help reinforce the professionalism of your brand while demonstrating your commitment to operating with integrity within the licensed program. Here’s how to set them up:
Follow the steps below to set up branded pack-ins for your Affinity-licensed products.
Step 1: Source your Affinity Licensed Product® (ALP) pack-ins
ALP hologram stickers and hang tags are available only after you become officially licensed through Affinity, and they must be purchased exclusively through the Affinity Gateway (affinity-gateway.com). Learn more about how to become officially licensed through Affinity.
Accepted ALP pack-in options:
- ALP adhesive-backed hologram stickers (roll of 2,000)
- ALP hologram hang tags (box of 2,000)
Either option may be used with your licensed products.
Step 2: Submit for approval
Send your pack-in design for approval before shipping it to us. Read why pack-ins need to be approved.
Step 3: Ship your Affinity Licensed Product® pack-ins
Once approved, submit a shipment request and mail or drop off your ALP hologram stickers or hang tags to the fulfillment center.
Step 4: We store and use them
We’ll let you know when your ALP hologram stickers or hang tags arrive and are ready to be added to orders. A step-by-step guide on setting up branding presets is available here to ensure we know which orders require your pack-ins.
Affinity Licensed Product® pack-ins guidelines and restrictions
ALP hologram sticker or hang tag pack-ins are available for orders fulfilled in facilities that offer branding item storage and fulfillment services.
