Types and uses of gift boxes

Boxes are the decorative packaging in which gifts look most elegant, especially if the box is matched to a specific gift. What can be packed in decorative boxes? What other types of packaging are worth using?

The choice of decorative packaging is really large, so you don’t have to limit yourself to wrapping all your gifts in decorative paper bags. There are other options available. Here is an overview of the different types of gift packaging and how you can use them.

Decorative packaging accessories

It is worth remembering that the gift itself and the packaging is not everything. Very important for a perfect effect is the use of various accessories for decorating gifts. Such accessories are also available at RAJA. And these include such indispensable accessories as decorative ribbons and ribbons, raffia, bows, pendants and tickets. A decorative box wrapped with ribbon or tape looks even better. Sometimes it’s also a good idea to use a decorative filler to wrap a gift or put it in a box – for example, when the gift is delicate and fragile or simply to look nice. That’s when it’s a good idea to use tissue paper or SizzlePak’s eco-friendly decorative filler.

Use of individual decorative packaging

Decorative boxes have a wide range of uses. They can be used to pack smaller and larger gifts, adjusting the size to the contents. Decorative boxes are versatile and will work in many situations. Their advantage is that they can later be used as storage boxes and also as containers for the decorative presentation of products, e.g. in a shop. Decorative boxes come in many sizes, shapes and colours. You can choose one that suits the occasion.

Bottle boxes are a special type of cardboard box. They are used, as the name suggests, for the elegant packaging of wine, but also other spirits and beverages in glass bottles. Special packaging for beer is also available, including tasting packs. It is better to give an alcoholic gift wrapped in a decorative box than in an ordinary bag.

Paper gift bags continue to be the most popular, because they are versatile – they can be used to pack practically any gift (they are also available in large sizes), they are cheaper than gift boxes and, in addition, the gift can be packed in a single movement. They also look elegant. The bags are available in plain, glossy, patterned, with a window, etc.

Corporate or business gifts can be packed in printed gift bags. This is an additional way of advertising and, in addition, the recipient will know from which contractor or business partner he or she has received the gift. Such bags can also be used in online shops to package their products as gifts – in many shops, the buyer can select this option.

Small items such as jewellery or accessories can be packed in elegant pouches made of organza, for example. The recipient can then store the gift in these or use them for something else.

Decorative paper is also quite often used – perhaps not as often as bags, but commonly, especially for wrapping gifts with regular shapes (e.g. books, cosmetics sets and any items that are boxed by the manufacturer). The paper can be plain or in commemorative patterns.

Transparent or coloured cellophane film can be used to wrap gifts that look nice (e.g. cosmetics, delicatessen products, sweets, teas, coffees, etc.).

On the other hand, smooth pressed or sheeted tissue paper can be used for fragile and lightweight items. It is often used to pack clothes, underwear and accessories.

If the gift is to be visible despite the packaging, decorative plastic bags are used.

The choice of decorative packaging is really large, and choosing the right one depends on the preference of the packer, but also on the type of gift, it’s shape, size and weight, as well as the occasion in which it is to be presented.
