Packaging Initial Ideas

- For the information slips / thank you slips these could be printed on different shaped offcuts to reflect the reuse of materials and what offcut stands for
- A stamp could be created to stamp the logotype onto boxes or other printed matter. This would be economical and a versatile way of applying the design to different surfaces
- The products could be packed with scrap paper materials or recycled paper to reflect the reuse of materials. The logotype could be stamped on to this, however that could be time consuming 
- The box / envelope could be created so that there is a perforated tear strip that cuts the box in two allowing the materials to be accessed. The tear line could reflect the angle of the cut line within the branding 
- A resealable box could be used to allow customers to send materials they may have lying around back, This could be a way of collecting interesting scrap materials 
- The box could have diagonal or dashed lines across it to reflect the idea of cutting through a material 
- A box design could be customised so that the top looks like it has been cut diagonally. The box flaps shape would be adapted to create this effect. 
- Rigid cardboard envelopes like the ones from Amazon could be good to adapt to some of these ideas as they are strong enough to protect the materials inside whilst also being slim, making them an efficient package for sheet materials.
