A Taste of Kilwins
To develop a basket in your store it is important to remember that everything in your basket must have an ingredient label attached to it. As you compile your kit you will want to consider all costs related to the basket including the vessel, any packing material, ribbon, shrink wrap and labor. This basket recipe or kit outlines only products contained in the vessel, not packaging materials. As you determine the retail cost of each basket consider first the product cost and add in the vessel cost, packaging material and labor cost to determine the true cost of goods. If you are interested in developing store specific baskets and your store operates with a Kilwins POS, you will be able to use the Custom Basket feature. This feature allows you to enter items and costs into your POS, which will result in the POS identifying an item number specific to your store's custom basket. A picture of this basket has been provided as a visual guide for configuring this recipe.
Guidelines for Basket Assembly
1. Gather all ingredients and remove price labels. Be sure all products are fresh and properly labeled.
2. Place filler of your choice into the vessel, up to top the rim, leaving very little room for downward play. This will allow you to set items on the top of the filler and visually present the product fully.
3. If necessary use glue dots and/or gift wrap card board supports for items to stand up in order to create a visual presentation that allow the product to show.
4. Once product is secure, wrap in either shrink wrap film or use a shrink wrap bag appropriate for the size of the "basket". Pull up the sides and gather the excess at the top securing with florist wire or ribbon.
5. If the presentation of your basket is of a quality consistent with Kilwins you may display your basket without completing the shrink wrap final step. To complete shrink wrapping of the basket apply heat with a hot air gun first around the bottom of the vessel. Continue to work your way around the sides and up any vessel structure like a handle or rim. Use the hot air gun on the lowest setting. Move quickly over the wrap and avoid contact with wrap that sits directly over chocolates. To avoid holes in the wrap do not linger in any one spot for more than a few seconds.
6. It is suggested that you attach to this basket an easy to read listing of the baskets contents and price. Keep in mind if you have used your POS to create your basket or load the basket in as a new item, include the item number on this tag for employee use at the point of purchase.

Basket Preparation
For this basket you will use a basket that is 11.5" L, 8" W and 7.5" H. We do not recommend marking up the cost of the basket, as the products inside are pre-packaged and therefore already carry a margin.
Basket Construction
1. Gather all ingredients and remove price tags. Be sure products are fresh and properly labeled.
2. Crumple paper in the bottom of the basket until it almost reaches the top. Add the fill (crinkle shred) on top of the paper. There should be no more than 1/2" of play when you press down on the fill, so pack it tightly and neatly.
3. IF BASKET IS TO BE SHIPPED you will want to simply arrange the product so it is pleasing to the eye. Place basket with product in to a shrink bag, tie with a decorative ribbon, make a bow and add the wooden nutcracker. Use a heat gun to shrink the wrap and then place entire basket into a large plastic bag closed with a twist tie to protect it from any condensation or marring from being shipped.
4. IF BASKET IS FOR DISPLAY IN YOUR STORE you will arrange the basket as if for shipping and instead put out for display.
5. Apply a price label with date code (only if for store display)

Basket Prep
For this configuration you will use a tray no larger than 11" w, 15"l, and with a modest depth (less than 1" - our tray was 10.5" x 13.5" outer dimensions). This will insure that your product seems abundant and the container will fit into a large insulated shipper easily with room for packing paper and ice bricks as needed.
We do not recommend marking up the cost of your container, as the products inside are pre-packaged and therefore already carry a margin. We have used a pretty but inexpensive Christmas themed tray.
This configuration of products is appropriate for Christmas only.
TRAY CONSTRUCTION
1. Gather all ingredients and remove price tags. Be sure products are fresh and properly labeled.
2. Place enough fill on the tray to cover the bottom, being sure that the shred color complements the tray color.
3. Arrange the products so that they are pleasing to the eye from above then apply shrink film and decorative ribbon.
4. IF TRAY IS TO BE SHIPPED place entire tray into a large plastic bag closed with a twist tie to protect it from any condensation or marring from being shipped. Place into insulated shipper, putting ice brix at each end, then filling remainder of shipper with peanuts or packing paper to keep the tray secure inside the box.
IF BASKET IS FOR DISPLAY IN YOUR STORE
For this tray you will arrange the basket as if for shipping, and display tilted on its side (see picture) if on a high shelf, or resting on its bottom for a low shelf placement.
4. Apply a price label with date code (only if for store display)

Basket Prep
For this basket you will use a container no larger than 8"w x 5"l, and with a depth to fit the product (at least 3" but no more than 5"). This will insure that your container will fit into the small insulated shipper easily with room for packing paper and ice bricks as needed.
We do not recommend marking up the cost of your container, as the products inside are pre-packaged and therefore already carry a margin.
You will change the tin as appropriate for the season
BASKET CONSTRUCTION
1. Gather all ingredients and remove price tags. Be sure products are fresh and properly labeled.
2. Determine the front of your container. Crumple paper in the bottom of the tin until it almost reaches the top. Add the fill (crinkle shred, raffia) on top of the paper. There should be no more than 1/2" of play when you press down on the fill, so pack it tightly and neatly.
3. Tuck lid, top facing forward, against the back wall of the container at a slight upward angle so corner of lid is resting against the bottom of the tin.
4. Place the three bags of candy in a graduated manner, following the upward tilt of the lid (see photo). These will be resting on the shred fill, and the lowest bag's bottom will be just under the top rim of tin. Tuck the bear claw into the front left corner of the tin so that it almost leans against the "tallest" candy bag.
5. Set tin on length of shrink film, draw the edges of film up and around the basket (draw excess toward back of basket so product is visible), securing at top with a twist tie. Use heat gun to shrink. Tie seasonally appropriate ribbon around twist tie.
3. IF BASKET IS TO BE SHIPPED place entire basket into a large plastic bag closed with a twist tie to protect it from any condensation or marring from being shipped.
IF BASKET IS FOR DISPLAY IN YOUR STORE
Bear in mind that this will present better on a shelf at eye level.
4. Apply a price label with date code (only if for store display)
