rope and kraft paper: minimalism and respect for the environment

The first idea is to replace the usual materials with two alternative ones

• Kraft paperinstead of wrapping paper.
• Raffia stringinstead of fabric ribbon.

para un efecto rústico, es importante elegir papel kraft natural y combinarlo con elementos de la naturaleza como ramitas o piñas secas. También existe la posibilidad de utilizar papel kraft reciclado como signo de respeto al medio ambiente. Si tu tienda online vende productos ecológicos o presenta una fuerte conciencia medioambiental, esta es tu opción.

2. Conos con blonda para pequeños detalles

También con papel kraft, combinado en este caso con blonda blanca, podrás crear estos originales conos ideales para regalos de pequeño tamaño o detalles a granel, como caramelos, frutos secos o bombones.

Para ello solo tienes que recortar cuadrados de papel kraft y enrollarlos, integrando tiras de blonda en el gesto, hasta crear el cucurucho. Para asegurarte de que el contenido no se derrama y de que el cono no se deshace, puedes aplicar un adhesivo de doble cara para cerrar el cucurucho

wrapping a gift: the essentials

Now that you know a few creative gift-wrapping methods, it’s time to go back to basics. Do you know what to consider when preparing a gift in the traditional way?

a. Wrapping paper

You have to find the right one among all the rolls available, from children’s paper rolls, ideal for children, to classic or more elegant motifs. It is the first image that the recipient will have of your gift. And it is not only the pattern of the wrapping paper that is important. The wrapping technique is also important

• Always cut the right amount of paper: if you cut too little, you will have to start all over again, but if you cut too much, it will give the impression of carelessness and lack of consideration for the environment.
• Make the folds and stick the adhesive tape where it is needed – leaving traces of trial-and-error activities here conveys nothing but clumsiness.
• Make sure that the paper is correctly folded at the ends.

b. Bows and ribbons

Close the gift with the right bow. As with the wrapping paper, there is a wide range of ribbons and bows available to offer the image we are looking for. From the classic fabric ones to the mirror ribbon stars, each of them offers a different detail that completes the wrapping.

c. Envelopes and gift boxes

Envelopes and gift boxes are a very elegant, quick and simple option to present a gift and leave the person who opens it speechless. Among the possibilities offered by the Rajapack catalogue we highlight

• Boxes with magnetic closurethe perfect box for perfumery, jewellery, wines and spirits.
