The packaging makes it easy to transport, protects the gift and also makes it a surprise…. But there is a much more important reason to take care of a beautiful gift setting! Do you want to know which one?
Decorative cardboard boxes, grey paper, sheets with colourful prints, decorative gift bags, bows, ribbons…. there are really many ways to wrap a gift! Why is it important to wrap a gift nicely?

Does it matter how we wrap a gift?
When it comes to gifts, it would be untrue, and certainly highly debatable, to say that the first impression (and therefore its packaging) is the most important thing. However, there is no denying that first impressions after seeing a present do matter. Most of us will appreciate the aesthetics of the packaging. The right setting can really add to the joy of the recipient! It can also heighten the excitement of waiting to see the right surprise. And not only! It also affects our judgement!

Make a good first impression
The old saying goes: “As they see you, so they write you”…. And first impressions have a huge impact not only on how the gift you give is received, but also on how you will be perceived and judged. The gift packaging will therefore be your business card. Make the most of this opportunity to “improve your ratings” and at the same time increase the joy of the recipient! Especially if you only have to put a little thought into your choice of packaging

Why do we wrap gifts?
There are several reasons. Firstly, from a purely technical and practical point of view, packaging is used for convenient transport and protects its contents from dirt and damage. Packaging should therefore be strong and durable, made of high-quality materials

Secondly, the packaging does not allow you to determine at a glance what is hidden inside, it introduces an atmosphere of mystery. It wraps its contents in a magical aura, fuels emotions making what it hides inside a surprise
Thirdly, gift-giving conventions dictate this. Aesthetically pleasing packaging of outstanding quality is an expression of our respect for the recipient. An aesthetically pleasing gift wrapping demonstrates our commitment

What to wrap a gift in?
The packaging really is just as important as the contents of the present! It’s what the giftee comes into contact with first and will determine their first impression. Whether you’re preparing a business gift or a present for a loved one, it’s worth making a good first impression!
Fabric bag as business gift packaging
Whichever type of packaging you choose, ensure that the present is wrapped at least neatly and carefully. You can hastily wrap the present in gift paper or reach for a traditional paper gift bag. However, you can go one step further… (Find out why you should swap the paper bag for reusable, decorative fabric bags)
The possibilities are indeed many! We are limited by our imagination and creativity. In order to stand out, it is worth replacing traditional gift wrapping methods with equally simple and quick, yet modern solutions.
