Proper Packaging

1) organize items ::
           Items need to be properly organized within it's containment to provide
           protection, presentation, obviousness, ease of access, and ease of mind.
2) include everything ::
           If the product includes a manual or a rubber band, make sure it's not
           being presented separately. If it's a gift, make sure to include the
           necessities for utilization.
3) preserve integrity ::
           Items need to look like what is expected, either from images or logic.
           Free floating objects could potentially be damaged. Dents and cuts are
           not part of the original manufacturing. If the removal of tape also
           removes the prduct's outer layer, don't use tape.
4) protect items ::
           Items will be attacked from all angles, with various possibilities.
           Don't just prevent it from moving around, prevent it from damages
           caused by gravity and pressure.
5) minimize weight ::
           If an item is to be shipped by a third party, the heavier the item,
           the costlier. If an item is to be hand-delivered, the added weight may
           cause slowness or prevent the addition of other things to be carried.
6) end-user satisfaction ::
           If you're selling, there's no point in annoying a potentially loyal customer.
           If you're gifting, there's no point in making the receiving party have any
           dislike, unless the goal is to irritate. In both cases, it would also be wise
           to not injure the end-user physically with weight and unraveling difficulties,
           and mentally with stress ' frustration ' and sadness.
