A number of factors have been involved in the modern era packaging.
Tinning
The use of tinplate for packaging dates back to the 18th century. The manufacture of tinplate was long a monopoly of Bohemia; in 1667 Andrew Yarranton, an English engineer, and Ambrose Crowley brought the method to England where it was improved by ironmasters including Philip Foley. By 1697, John Hanbury had a rolling mill at Pontypool for making "Pontypoole Plates". The method pioneered there of rolling iron plates by means of cylinders enabled more uniform black plates to be produced than was possible with the former practice of hammering.
Tinplate boxes first began to be sold from ports in the Bristol Channel in 1725. The tinplate was shipped from Newport, Monmouthshire. By 1805, 80,000 boxes were made and 50,000 exported. Tobacconists in London began packaging snuff in metal-plated canisters from the 1760s onwards.
Canning
With the discovery of the importance of airtight containers for food preservation by French inventor Nicholas Appert, the tin canning process was patented by British merchant Peter Durand in 1810. After receiving the patent, Durand did not himself follow up with canning food. He sold his patent in 1812 to two other Englishmen, Bryan Donkin and John Hall, who refined the process and product and set up the world's first commercial canning factory on Southwark Park Road, London. By 1813, they were producing the first canned goods for the Royal Navy.
The progressive improvement in canning stimulated the 1855 invention of the can opener. Robert Yeates, a cutlery and surgical instrument maker of Trafalgar Place West, Hackney Road, Middlesex, UK, devised a claw-ended can opener with a hand-operated tool that haggled its way around the top of metal cans. In 1858, another lever-type opener of a more complex shape was patented in the United States by Ezra Warner of Waterbury, Connecticut.
Paper-based packaging
Set-up boxes were first used in the 16th century and modern folding cartons date back to 1839. The first corrugated box was produced commercially in 1817 in England. Corrugated (also called pleated) paper received a British patent in 1856 and was used as a liner for tall hats. Scottish-born Robert Gair invented the pre-cut paperboard box in 1890—flat pieces manufactured in bulk that folded into boxes. Gair's invention came about as a result of an accident: as a Brooklyn printer and paper-bag maker during the 1870s, he was once printing an order of seed bags, and the metal ruler, normally used to crease bags, shifted in position and cut them. Gair discovered that by cutting and creasing in one operation he could make prefabricated paperboard boxes.
Commercial paper bags were first manufactured in Bristol, England, in 1844, and the American Francis Wolle patented a machine for automated bag-making in 1852.
Packaging in 20th century
Packaging advancements in the early 20th century included Bakelite closures on bottles, transparent cellophane overwraps and panels on cartons. These innovations increased processing efficiency and improved safety of packaging supplies. As additional materials such as aluminum and several types of plastic were developed, they were incorporated into packages to improve performance and functionality.

Right: Clonemaker829 s package arrived today! Thanks a lot for all this, i'm shipping your package tomorow or the day after!
my partner was Danni from Oh, Hello Friend!
the first package was wrapped in brown paper and tied with white ribbon
I do like a nice bit of packaging and my new Sennheiser earphones came in a really nicely designed box.
The white bit at the top there is the other end of the blue bit that's wrapped around the front. Both bits tuck in with cardboard barbs to keep everything together. The whole thing fit inside the cardboard sleeve there on the right (which is the only bit of the whole thing that is glued)
And inside the big wraparound thing it's pretty much loose bits of cardboard each with holes cut in it to leave voids which is where the actual earphones and cord was housed.
The hands in the corner there are to ensure that the leaves are in the right order.
The hanger moves up and down to allow hanging (it's down in the other shot)
The whole thing is meant to be eco-friendly but it would be much moreso if the pointless badge wasn't included.
The glossy curved surface of the package gave me plenty of good opportunities to get reflections and add interest to the images. A lot of these images were test shots for what I could attempt to do with a professional - as well as a learning curve on the path of product photography.
An entire box to send a 1 page letter about a safety warning for a laptop that is over 5 years old. Cause could be class action or sheer corporate waste.

Packaging is considered to be one of the most important aspects of #marketing. It can attract the customer or prevent them from buying the #product, depending on how it was packaged. This result to companies innovating their #packaging, making sure that the gimmicks they apply to each product would suit the taste of their customers. Around the world, there are packaging ideas that are considered to be brilliant and unique, and one can look up to them as inspiration. Packaging can also be considered as an art, and packaging supplies can be purchased at crafts stores and book stores.
In Japan, a bread manufacturing #company decided to package their black bread on a plastic bag that depicts a man with an afro hair. The hair was left transparent, so that the black bread would act as the hair color. Another packaging idea came from a #headset manufacturing company. They arranged the black headsets to depict a note, which looks clean and neat. Another example of great packaging comes from a honey manufacturing company, showing how it should be bottled. The honey comes in a box that strongly resembles a hive, and included inside are bees made from paper to make it more realistic. In Brazil, a wine manufacturing company decided to cover their wine bottles with a material that resembled the wine’s respective fruit flavor. Those who bought the wine must peel the material off from the bottle before drinking it. It gives them an authentic flavor feel, according to those who tried it. Another idea came from a designer based in New York City, which arranged the pasta to resemble the Empire State Building. Some designers are also considering the necessity when packaging their products, like a disposable butter with a lid made of wood that can be used as a knife. Others are using aesthetics to promote their gimmicks, including a spatula manufacturing company from Denmark which uses graphics to demonstrate that their products are environmentally friendly.
There are a lot of ideas to choose from when deciding on how to package the #product. It is up to the imagination of the business owner on how they can create their packaging that would get the attention of the customers. It is very important that the product can be seen as unique, which is why gimmicks should be applied when putting the products inside their packages. The internet is one of the best resources when it comes to planning on how an item should be packaged, because there are a lot of websites dedicated into helping people on how to create #crafts, including packaging. However, it should also be noted that a lot of patience is required to master the art of packaging. Aside from the internet, there are also books which cover the art of packaging. One can also consult artists who have been working in the industry to gather inspiration on what to create.
Packaging a product is very important especially if you wanted to raise brand awareness. When a product is clever and unique, people will notice it and chances are, they will be purchasing the product to try it. Packaging is a way of telling the people to try your product, and because of the competition in the market, the product should take the customer’s attention.
Identity package designed for myself. Includes resume, business card, and sample book. Everything is tucked inside a handmade folder and sealed with a nice orange belly band!
Some slight alterations and I think this could well be the final packaging. It will more than likely be in multiple colours.
Kraft paper wrapping, wired bow and a thank you mini card complete my mini album packaging.

The delivery men are hard at work during the weeks leading up to Christmas. They know that those packages have to get to their destinations in time for placement under the Christmas tree.
Package and mail companies aren't the only ones that use delivery trucks like these. Franz is a Bread company and uses its delivery trucks to deliver bread to various customers. This is an older unit based on the design. Taken February 17, 2024.
