28 Creative Box Mockups for Product Packaging or Storage Solutions
Ever bought something simply because it had beautiful packaging?
Some of us even save the box since it’s too cute to just throw away. Today’s packaging can convey more than the brand, label, or quality of the product inside. It can make you feel important, happy, and excited. It’s like love at first sight – you know you’ve made the right choice just by looking at the box.
It wasn’t your fault for feeling that way though. Companies study how their packaging designs project an appeal of value to a customer, and it had been going on for a lot longer than you think.
Brief History of Box Packaging
History books said that the first box (made of paperboard) was made by an English firm known as M. Treverton & Son in 1817. Germany developed their cardboard packaging the same year. The French had been using such packaging as early as 1840 to transport silk moths and their eggs. A production industry for manufacturing cardboard boxes was set up in the Valréas area.
Corrugated paper was patented in England in 1856, but it saw use as shipping material only in 1871. The patent for single-sided corrugated board was issued to New York City’s Albert Jones. Improvements to the design through the use of liner sheets on two sides were made by Oliver Long in 1874.
Pre-cut cardboard boxes came to be in 1890. Then Brooklyn-based Robert Gair discovered that cutting and creasing paperboard allowed him to mass-produce pre-made folding boxes in a single operation. Many other countries developed cardboard boxes for specific purposes.
When flaked cereals came about, it was also the first type of food to use cardboard box packaging. The Kellogg Company was first to use this method, and they still do today.
