The Usage of Oriental Style Packaging

One thing that a lot of European brands are beginning to use, so more oriental style packaging. These brands are emulating some of the popular designs that those in Asian and other oriental countries like to have in their products and packaging. 

This is a unique style, and oriental style packaging is great for a lot of products. But it does require that it does hit the correct market niche. If it doesn’t, it will fall flat.

One popular one that we’ll start with is incense.  This is something that’s great, and with a slim and personalized case with a beautiful graphic that shows female figures in costumes with a candle over her head, it does adopt those vibes. Through the specific colors, and other usages, and also the sense that it does communicate, this is one that a lot of people who adore the genre love to use, especially when they put this on their carts and buy it. 


Then there are cosmetics. This is something that a lot of different cosmetics companies are using. While the cardboard box with a window inside of it, there are other different oriental elements that come with this. These companies do offer visible graphics, and other graphic elements that are more marginal in many cases. They do frame the package with a more floral design and motif, which looks almost like an impressionist painted it. The colors are incredibly vivid, saturated so that the eye can capture it, and also leads the customer to look at the inner contents.  We’ve seen different packaging companies give you a chance to smell the perfume from the buds that are used to create this, especially in a means where it showcases that they’re being caressed through the wind.  Beauty influencers will love this, and it’s why a lot of them do like to use it for their packaging. 

Accessories are another one.  Collectable gems in particular are now taking this idea and using it. cubic cardboard in a box form can contain food supplements, beauty cream, and the like.  It’s one where a lot of people are able to create a multifaceted style, and also graphics which are multicolored.  There are also other great designs that even tattoo artists can utilize and create.  The colors are typical of both oriental and Chinese cultures and creates a marketable accessory for design. The box also uses different motifs, illustrations, patterns, and colors, enough to make you feel like you’re getting some great results out of it. 



While it’s minimal, it creates a silver bullet.  The cubic box can also be kept within the house and might be a great one especially to hold other small treats.

Then of course, there is the food sector. Linear boxes and graphics that are placed on this in different colors, and with spider web patterns create a unique experience. When you first look at this, you might presume that the packaging might be a puzzle or a board game, or even some trading cards. That’s not the case.  The exotic delicacies within these takeaway boxes will certainly surprise you.  With an interlocking lid, some lovely smelling fish and vegetables and even chopsticks included, this is a great one.  It’s almost a shame to get rid of the boxes, as they are so beautiful, and would be perfect to hold spices or sauces. 



With all of that in mind, using oriental packaging can create a great product experience. Consider it for your packaging, especially if it fits the audience and the product niche 8 you wish to attain.

Small giants and Their Packaging

 A lot of people are looking for alternatives to regular flour that’s within recipes. But did you know that one of them is…insects? Yes, this food, while innovative, is definitely getting the attention of experts within the food sector, to the point where it’s the food of the future, and not very distant so to speak.

It’s made directly from crickets, and this is something that the Eu has approved of and implemented, some worms, and fly larvae to provide a flour meal that’s rich in fats, proteins, and minerals that are essential.  This is a food source that’s sustainable, and it’s actually something that could be the solution to the food demand.  Small Giants is the first company to create this as an alternative to regular flour and other foods, and it has evolved the way insect flour packaging is done, in order to create something that is good for people, and edible in a lot of cases too.

About the Project 

Small giants is not something with a rich history, but started off just a few years ago, and it was a thought initially. 

During this time, analyses, news, and even some studies about the editability of crickets and other bugs began to come around. 

The FAO for instance published some research in which they discovered that insects are good natural sources of some high-quality proteins, and have a low environmental impact.  One way that we set ourselves different from this, is that our goal is to make this a diet that’s an “alternative” within the west. 

In the east, it’s actually normal, and about 2 billion people will eat bugs daily. 

 The project involves insects that are small but have a bunch of potential. Crickets for example are over 80% protein, and that’s huge.

Small giants was named this way because these creatures, though small, are actually huge for your diet, and can be integrated as such.  You can even eat crackers and other different items and they’re all made from these little guys. 

The Product 

This product is pretty universal. There are a lot of different protein flours out there, and for the most part, they tend to be on the pricier end, and harder to procure. 



But Small Giants want to work with different proteins and give you an enriching type of diet that works with the daily foods that you have. 

This is pretty interesting, and you’ll realize that this is far more on the down-to-earth aspects than one would think, and it offers some great options for many people interested in building this. 

For the most part, consumers like this product, and they’re responding pretty well. more males are getting these products, but there is a bit more of a balance between the genders of these buyers. 

A lot of people are getting curious about this product.  Those that are already inclined to eat bugs may be more open.  Those who are curious as well might be interested in this. 

There are others too that are much more attached to tradition and products. There are countries such as Italy that are no doubt far more adventurous when it comes to this, and they’re embracing this unique product a lot more than others.

 


Some big food brands might consider this, as this might be something that may work with some products.  This can work with different pastas and others though, as there are limited edition pastas that are there.

A lot of different ways for you to use this can help you, and they’ve created a unique product too.
