37. Great Packaging
& Inspiration
Stylish, yet functionally designed conversation starter Clean or blank slate packing with “throw away” sale wrap influences
Gift-wise, Dual Usage, Standalone promotional piece continued use of packaging post-purchase
From picture to copy, packaging maintains an
Simplistic “no surprises” design
Attention to detail makes the opening experience a bit more special. (e.g., slip cover uncomplicated (K.I.S.S.) persona
case, the quot;fashionquot; tags, the notch in the box to aid removal, and the gray and
orange color scheme.)

building a great brand. They focus on building a great
and profitable product or service and an organization
that can sustain it.”
