Low Cost Luxury Packaging
I've followed Thompson Ferrier (no relation) for years. They're a candle making company in New York, but they don't just make candles. They buy ornaments which can hold their candle wax, turning them into functional pieces of art. Their packaging has always been superb, from a simple sticker on the outside of the shipping box that says get your camera ready for unboxing, to their embossing, ribbons and wax seals. These are a couple of customer photos from Reddit and the YouTube link explains their thinking around packaging in 2023. Remember, if you're starting out - you're not trying to achieve all of this at once, add one element to elevate your packing. Add another element later on and adjust it to appeal to your target audience.
