Gift Box Manufacturer: Ohana Packaging
Printing: Lahlouh and Greenerprinter
Published : September 2015
Short Rationale : "Aimed at providing an over-the-top unboxing experience, our newly designed gift box, reflects the fun, exciting experience of receiving a surprise at your doorstep, while also showcasing the gorgeous, artisanal products we curate into our gift boxes. Each Sesame gift set includes a kraft gift box designed with playful messaging and bold patterns, an enjoyment guide featuring vibrant imagery and details about each gift set item, luxurious vellum concealing the items, and a personalized message card slipped into a sleeve. A vibrant, Sesame blue, wrap-around sticker seals the gift set and adds a pop of color to the outer gift box. While the gift box acts as a neutral backdrop, which allows the gift items to take center stage, it is a stunning addition to the unboxing and gift set experience."
