Back-folding the tape
I’ve been wanting to show you the packaging from this brand and the time is just right because recently I bought a pack of tea from one of its outlets.
Notice something about the seal on the paper bag? The back-fold at the end, where the arrow is pointing?
The intention is just to make it effortless for their customers to peel off the tape, knowing how stubborn/gluey it can be sometimes. I’ve witnessed this practice in 1 or 2 department stores in Japan.
Well, it may not look much but I applaud this little act of thoughtfulness. So if you’re receiving a package from me, expect to see a fold too!
