You'll even have that great hesitation to throw it in the bin. They even have bird-shaped cakes complete with beaks and eyes packed into papers of good quality with folds resembling origami.

I've been in brand management for the past 10 years and have been exposed to a good number of "quality" packaging suppliers and yet, when I was thinking of setting up my own small food biz, I couldn't push through all because I was unhappy with the kind of packaging materials that are affordable and available locally. : ( We have very good packaging designers --- some can even outperform international designers (In fact, a number of well known international packaging design firms have Pinoys as their secret weapons!). The problem is the availability of really nice packaging materials (paper, paper cups, thin plastic, food grade materials). We don't produce locally so everything is imported and expensive. Unfortunately, it's the small entreps who are really keen on using quality materials so volume is not sufficient to command a lower price. Big food manufacturing companies opt to go for the cheaper alternatives just because they cater to the masses. Only very few big companies are willing to sacrifice margins for the sake of packaging. For now, I can only hope that China will be able to supply us with good packaging materials as they seem to have the capability to copy everything at a cheaper price. Hehe. Pardon the rant. I just love packaging and the lack of nice ones locally is a HUGE frustration. If you happen to stumble on a good and affordable supplier, let me know! Please. : ( You are so right, MM!
