Into the Fire opened it's doors in early 2000. Owner Kathy Cook decided it was time for a "paint your own" pottery studio with a little more flare. Into the Fire's studio offers a relaxing but vibrant atmosphere that allows clients to feel at ease. Into the Fire's elaborate displays also aids in artistic inspiration for their clients.

Into the Fire has a great online idea center if you can't make it to the studio. Some of their gift ideas include a "paint your own" mug package with coffee, tea, or hot cocoa. This package also includes a plate of home baked cookies and candies! You can also paint your own photo frame, clock, flower vase, or beverage pitcher for under thirty dollars. Into the Fire's large serving bowls and chip and dip platters also make great gifts that are not only beautiful but useful.

Into the Fire started using Bags, Inc. as their trusted packaging distributor in early 2007 after one of our sales reps, Jackie made a cold call. They've since started using our Natural Kraft paper shopping bags in a few popular sizes. Kathy uses our 8 x 4¾ x 10½, 10 x 5 x 13½, and 13 x 6 x 15¾. Our paper shopping bags are now made with 100% recycled material and they work great for finished pottery pieces.

Later in 2008 Into the Fire began their design for custom printed labels. We now print a 3¼ x 4¼ circular label printed on bright gold background material in black ink. Labels are the perfect economically friendly way to customize a bag without taking the "printed bag" plunge. And these labels look great on our Natural Kraft shoppers!

Be sure to visit Into the Fire's website at www.intothefirearvada.com for all of you paint your own pottery ideas. They also hold classes and cater to numerous party events such as birthdays, bridal showers, ladies nights, corporate events, and church groups. If you have any questions about Kathy and her unique business feel free to email them at intothefiresstudio@yahoo.com. Kathy and her friendly knowledgeable staff will be more than happy to help with all you pottery needs.

For each month's featured customer, Bags tries to showcase a customer who has used a unique approach to their packaging, and to share a little about their business with you. Hopefully this provides a bit of insight to how other businesses select their packaging products and to how Bags can help you find the right packaging for your business. Perhaps you can find a business similar to yours among the companies listed here. We continually provide links (see right column) to past selections ... but all our featured customers' pages are also available. Contact one of our sales consultants for more information.
