Packaging is a little thing that makes a gift special in many ways. For how long have people been wrapping gifts? Who came up with the idea to make an industry out of it? Why is packaging important in terms of an emotional message and in a practical sense? Today on the Woolkrafts blog we take a closer look at packaging.
People started packing valuable things back in the time of the ancient Greeks. Gifts were given without wrapping for quite a long time - even up to the 20th century. The Swiss invented foil on the postage stamp of the last century and began to use it for wrapping gifts. And, for example, the British decorated tin boxes from under cookies, turning them into gift packaging. Later, Americans appeared on the scene, who came up with the idea not only to wrap presents beautifully, but also to create an entire industry based on this idea.
Since then, various types of packaging and decoration have appeared. The theme continues to thrive to this day, offering ever new options for giving gifts with a special meaning.
So why do we still prefer wrapping gifts?
About the emotional component of gift packaging
The coolest thing about the packaging is that it keeps the surprise effect longer, prolongs the intrigue and pleasant anticipation a little more. Pay attention to how differently everyone unpacks cherished packages and boxes: someone quickly and impatiently, someone slowly and carefully. Packaging awakens the inner child in many adults, gives a smile and positive emotions.
And the packaging (when it's good) is like a promise that something cool is inside. The surprise has not yet been revealed, but one already gets the impression of something presentable, weighty and important. Perhaps inside is exactly what has been waiting for so long.
Finally, the packaging emphasizes consideration from the giver. A tastefully packaged item makes a positive impression and completes the gift. It is obvious that the impression it will make is important to a person, and more precisely, the emotions of the person to whom the gift is intended are important. This is an indicator of special treatment, a kind of compliment — something that is remembered more strongly than the gift itself.
Practical side: criteria of a good packaging
A person is greeted by his clothes, and a gift by its packaging. What are the points that distinguish really good packaging from others?
Here are some indicators:
Balance between wrapping and gift itself. You can, of course, play on contrasts and present a small souvenir in an expensive box to surprise. But such a technique is not always appropriate. Examples of balance: a nice little thing in a bright wrapper or an expensive thing in a high-quality, concise package.
The non-obviousness of what is inside. This is not always possible, but good packaging ideally preserves the effect of surprise longer and does not immediately make it clear what is inside.
Preservation of the integrity of the gift. Good packaging prevents the gift from getting damaged, dirty, etc. The moment is most important if a fragile or delicate thing is given.
Good taste. Stylish, maybe minimalist, made of quality materials, monochromatic or in the right colors — the packaging that you want to look at before opening the gift is good. But the main thing is not to overdo it and not to choose one that will surpass what is inside.
Great option when you can recycle the packaging after using it.
Now it is customary to wrap any gifts — from small things to something important. Soft cozy plaid is no exception. Especially if you are going to give it as a gift. So how are things going with the packaging at Woolkrafts?
