I am sure you have come across a situation when you’re getting super late and you forgot to wrap a present right before an event! Panic mode sets in and you do a really bad wrapping job in a hurry. You do feel like your reputation is at stake because the end product looks hideous. Well, there is an easy solution for such cases. Gift paper boxes or just plain paper boxes! These are God-sends which save the day and are hassle-free.

Box it?

Paper boxes and gift paper boxes can be made at home or can be bought from the market. They are available in a wide array of colors and designs ranging from solid colors to floral designs to patterns and cartoons. All you need is papers, scissors, glue, a ruler, and accessories. The rest is all about practice and creativity. Paper boxes can be made in different shapes and size too depending on what the box is meant for. For example, sweets and chocolates can be sent in paper gift boxes for birth announcements.

Youtube is a great place to learn how to make boxes and then decorate them with ribbons, studs, glitter paper, glitter, pearls, faux flowers, etc. The best part is that these boxes can be made and stored for later use. You can match your gift box with the theme of the event. For example, you can make a golden or off-white gift box for a friend’s wedding or even bridal shower.

Furthermore, paper bags, custom printed product boxes and paper boxes can also be ordered from Printcosmo – they offer great rates and have a very helpful customer service team.

Why paper?

Paper is an eco-friendly option as opposed to plastic. Our environment is worsening at a fast pace because of the daily consumption and waste of plastic. Plastic takes too long to break down which costs us our environment. Hence, it is never too late to turn towards other options which are comparatively better. Paper can be recycled and is bio-degradable which is why many supermarkets and restaurants opt for paper bags. Similarly, you can choose paper boxes over plastic boxes to store things, give gifts, etc. It is also much easier to write or draw on paper boxes and you can customize each box according to your requirement.
