Select sturdy materials such as cardboard or other thick paper materials for the gift box packaging, so that the contents of the gift are organized more safely, neatly and look more beautiful. A sturdy and strong box will provide extra protection for the contents of the gift while on the move. In addition, choosing a hard material box will also give the impression that you are selective and think about the idea of reusing your gift box, thus increasing its sentimental value.

2. Explore Unique Shapes

For example, for a birthday celebration, choose bright colors like red, yellow, or blue to create a cheerful vibe. In addition, you can also use patterned wrapping paper based on the theme as the outer layer of the gift box to give an aesthetically pleasing look.

4. Add Some Texture

Don't blindly put the contents of the gift into the gift box. To create a neat and organized look, carefully arrange the contents of the gift inside the box. Make sure each gift item is given its own place and arranged neatly to avoid a mess. You can use dividers or small containers to separate and organize each item for better organization. In addition, you can also use fillings such as paper or foam to keep the contents of the gift box safe and still when the box is being carried around. By organizing the contents neatly, your gift box will look neat and attractive to the recipient.

7. Add Some Beautiful Decorations
