The art of gift wrapping
A gift is more than just the content – the packaging is the first message conveyed to the recipient: Someone has invested time and thought here. Wrapping a gift is therefore a special form of appreciation and a creative expression of your personality. With the right techniques, even a small present can become an impressive eye-catcher.
The history of Geschenkeverpackens dates back a long way. In ancient China, gifts were wrapped in intricately folded paper, and in Japan, a tradition of wrapping in cloth called Furoshiki developed. Today, modern gift wrapping combines elements from various cultures and offers endless design possibilities – from minimalist elegance to playful colorfulness.
In our guides, we show you how to create extraordinary packaging with simple means. You don't need expensive specialty tools, just a little practice and inspiration. The satisfying feeling when the recipient stands before your artistically wrapped gift with shining eyes is priceless and more than compensates for the time invested.
Basic Techniques for Perfect Gift Wrapping
Before you venture into elaborate Verpackungsideen, it is worth mastering the basic techniques. A neatly wrapped gift with precise folds and tidy adhesive edges forms the basis for any creative further design. In our video tutorials, we show you step by step how to professionally wrap a gift – from the right amount of paper to the perfect edge crease.
Special attention deserves the topic of ribbons and bows. An elegantly tied bow can be the finishing touch to any packaging. We demonstrate various techniques from classic gift ribbon to satin bows to three-dimensional rosettes. With simple hand movements and a little practice, you'll create perfect bows that give your gift a professional touch.
The selection of materials also plays a crucial role. We advise you on different types of paper, their properties, and optimal use. From sturdy kraft paper to fine tissue paper to patterned design papers – each material has its own charm and is suitable for different occasions and gift forms. With the right material, unwrapping becomes a multisensory experience.
Creative packaging ideas for special occasions
Every occasion deserves an appropriate wrapping. For wedding gifts, elegant, romantic designs in white, cream, or silver are suitable, while children's birthdays call for colorful, playful wrappings with surprising elements. We offer you occasion-specific ideas that convey just the right mood.
The Christmas season is the highlight of gift wrapping. Here you can unleash your creativity with nostalgic motifs, natural materials like branches and cones, or glamorous accents. Our festive wrapping ideas range from traditional to modern and make your gifts shine under any Christmas tree.
We also offer original wrapping solutions for cash gifts, which are often considered uncreative. From folded banknotes to cash gift boxes to surprising reveal mechanisms – even a cash gift becomes an unforgettable experience this way. This personal touch shows that you’ve put thought into the practical gift and gives the cash an emotional added value.
