These come from China
Unloaded off container full of curtains. Flatten down to be recycled now they card box empty boxes. This will keep you happy

@popvulture Great idea for a new thread!

[seawolf]

@Kasi drool

But are those FedEx boxes?

Well this is the weirdest thread i've seen for a while

@Alex This is why I love this forum. There's something for everyone! That's why @Kasi was so excited to show us his FedEx envelope in another thread. I figured if he's that into packaging material, we might as well make a thread for it.

Packaging: just think of it as lingerie for IH.

@popvulture in Germany we would call this Liebestöter

[popvulture]

@Tago-Mago ha! I love German words — the combination effect is so satisfying. I know it’s probably not correct, but I put that word into Google Translate and it came back as “lovekiller,” which is kinda amazing.

had this fedex box showed up partly crushed and was a little concerned by what i might find on the inside. thankfully everything was alright.

@popvulture 100% correct

@seawolf is this thread to honor the love of their packaging design??

[seawolf]

@Mizmazzle Yes? Their triangle shipping tube is dope. lol

[Mizmazzle]

@seawolf hahah. I’ve always appreciated the boxes the iPhone come in.

[popvulture]

I mean, gotta appreciate that subliminal arrow in the negative space. That takes me back to design school nerdage.

@Mizmazzle Did you know the iPhone boxes are specifically designed to open slowly? They have a tight tolerance that creates a bit of a vacuum inside the box and makes it open very slowly to give the user a feeling of quality. Apple's packaging designers are famous for their unboxing experiences, and that's just one example of their incredible work.
