Gift-Wrapping Tapes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Decorative Packing Tape Warns of 'Pretty Things Inside'

— September 17, 2014 — Art & Design
The 'Pretty Things Inside' decorative packing tape makes sure you get a hint at the contents of a box before you open it. There are numerous tape designs out there that are available in fun colors, prints and patterns, but this one reads like a more welcoming version of crime tape, offering a cheery warning.

The kraft paper tape is durable enough to seal cardboard boxes, but it's also easily ripped by hand so that recipients can get at those pretty things inside the box. Rather than packaging something with clear packing tape, or adorning simple kraft paper wrapping, this is a fun way to dress up a gift in a simple and affordable way that works for any season.
