The Japanese practice of folding paper into figures has found its way into marketing and branding, as shown with these original origami packages. Companies are looking for ways to lower theirs costs while also helping the environment, and origami is a good way to achieve both.
This folding art technique gives enterprises the possibility to create modern and attractive packaging for their products, while protecting their budget. Additionally, customers value the handmade look that origami adds to packages. For example, tea bags that have diverse origami shapes are a creative alternative to stand out in a competitive industry. Also, boxes with intricate folds and patterns make these usually boring packages more fun and artistic looking.
Check out these original origami packaging to find great ideas to pack products and develop unique brands.
