Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to packaging for Japanese tea and other foods and miscellaneous goods, and in particular to packaging that is simple and suitable for gifts, made from reusable cloth such as a tenugui. [Background technology]
[0002] Traditionally, food products such as Japanese tea have often been packaged in aluminum or paper bags, which give the impression of being too simple for gifting. In addition, packaging materials are generally discarded, which poses environmental issues. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a "tenugui package" that uses a rectangular piece of cloth to enhance the giftability of the product while allowing the packaging material to be reused. [Means for solving the problem]
[0004] The packaging material of this invention comprises a rectangular cloth in the shape of a hand towel and a strap-like fastening material. Wrapping a product in the cloth and fastening it around the outside with the strap is simple. The cloth can be reused as a hand towel or dish towel, and has utility even after gifting. [Effects of the Invention]
[0005] According to this invention, the cloth can be reused after packaging, reducing the amount of materials used and the environmental impact. Furthermore, by using Japanese patterns or original designs on the cloth, it is possible to enhance the gift-giving quality and create a product with high visual appeal. Furthermore, since packaging can be easily completed using only the cloth and obi, it is suitable for mass production. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
