  These days, it's not enough for companies to just slap their logo on a bunch of stuff and give it away. The way companies thank people and get closer to customers has changed.  Giving gifts isn't just about pens or mugs with logos anymore. It's about actually connecting with people and showing them you care. Things have changed! Before, it was all about getting your brand seen. Now, it's about making real connections.  The idea now is to give gifts that really mean something and that show how much you appreciate someone and how much you trust them.

Image
  In a highly competitive global market, products that look almost identical pose the main challenge. The key factor changing the game is how a product is presented. Packaging is no longer simply a means whereby a product is wrapped — it is now a way of telling a story, and a powerful gifting strategy to create lasting impressions.  The emerging trend of Story-Based Packaging has therefore arisen, where the brand identity, colors, and messaging work together to create a memorable unboxing experience. Since consumers want to establish emotional and meaningful relations with brands, the role of the packaging design has gone beyond just being visually attractive.  The package has turned into a story-teller - the one which hits the customer's heart even before the product is handled.
