Anyone who knows us, knows that we care a great deal about our packaging. Years of receiving our purchases from companies who send their products off in poly bags and carelessly thrown into boxes keeps us motivated. We figure that the entire package, not just the contents, should be given equal attention and that you will appreciate (as we do) the full presentation of opening your purchase when it arrives at your door.  Properly designed packaging can be two-fold in purpose too, satisfying both esthetics and protection during shipping. After all, all the pretty packaging in the world isn't going to matter if your new necktie shows up in a smashed box.

We are thankful for Viola E. Sutanto including us in her new book called Packaging Your Crafts. Her book covers the packaging of clothing to cookies and everything in between, proving that the devil is in the details.
