Before the sale of the SG50 toys, we need to give them a "clothing" .😉 Pretty much with recycled materials are all we need- Papers, box, plastic(bag), etc. As for this case, papers or box are the recommendation for toy packaging. First of all, an idea/ideas of the packaging. Browsing through the net with all kinds of results with the keyword "recycled materials packaging" and "creative packaging", I finally found what I wanted; saving pictures of them and then deciding which one to use in the end, deleting those that are impossible currently. I figured I could use more than one idea-Three. The first one has a milk package with paper hands and legs, the latter includes a transparent plastic sheet on a fruit package, lastly, a match box design(which I came up with myself). I got my hand on a box package from my dad, cut it into smaller pieces according the to measurement I did on a piece of paper(actually an A3 paper, by accident... Wasted one whole sheet of A3 paper with just some measurement informations...😭), which took up more time than I expected, where I spent my whole evening doing just the measurement on where to cut, when there's only 10 pieces to cut out. 6 of these pieces have a two side tags which connects to the other 4 pieces; as I've mentioned, a match box design, consisting of an inner and an outer box.;Using 3 pieces with two tags and 2 pieces of the normal ones to form the inner and another 3 and 2 pieces respectively for the outer box. Little did I know that even thought the specific measurements, I was oblivous to the fact that using a glue roller to connect the cut outs wasn't a nice idea- The unstable cut outs fell out countless time, pretty irritating, considering how much time I've invested in this project but ending up with this matter disrupting me from finishing the packaging. Thankfully, it came to me that a transparent tape would do the job. Incorporating both the strength of glue roller and the tape, it's as stable as it is, for now. It doesn't end here. I still got to decorate the package.(Oh, and I've aborted the "transparent sheet" idea on my box.) After some time colouring the whole thing red, then the implementation of the legs and hands, and a speciality from me- the head. 😎 Now, the package is as interesting and chubby as it should be~ 😎😎. For now, I await for the recognition of the toy an the package :D Hope it turns out well. :3
