ZAMFORIA: Global Threads [Submitted]

ZAMFORIA Global Threads for the Global Citizen 1306244579850 480x498 ZAMFORIA: Global Threads [Submitted]

ZAMFORIA made it’s start creating artistically fueled, exclusive t-shirts mixed with the beauty of cultures and the funk of street wear design, utilizing ‘love’ in different languages as the center of attention. It’s become a brand focused on making a wearable piece of art with a story. Their message and ideology: Learn the World. Love the World. Have fun.

Adding to their fun style, all the shirts come packaged in potato chip bags…….(no chips, though, you wouldn’t want a greasy shirt, right?)

Started by a brother and sister selling out of a Jeep Wrangler and running business from a basement, this Boston based brand’s focus remains to that of its roots: make classic, quality art people relate to and believe in, use any success for positive social change, and promote global citizenship.

[Andy: I really like the idea of packaging a shirt in a potato chip bag, but unfortunately their designs aren't my style, again, this is a case of different strokes for different folks. They could also do with optimising their website a bit too, the images on their front page have far too high of a file size, not too much of an issue really in these days of high bandwidth connections, but it does slow down a site unnecessarily and tax your server too, and let's not forget that Google are taking load speed into account now.]

Akumu Ink have got some sweet new packaging

akumu ink packaging

My buddies over at Akumu Ink are industrious fellows, they’ve been busy recently, but so have I so I haven’t managed to cover everything they’ve been up to, but I really like this idea they’ve had for their packaging so I just had to share it. I’ll let Aldora (Mrs. Akumu Ink) explain:

We’ve just came up with a new packaging that features a new wax seal with Akumu Ink in its Japanese characters. We want to make it a great experience for our customers when they receive the package; Hence: -> open the shipping package to find a stained envelope addressed to “My Dearly Departed” -> turn the package to open it, to find a wax seal -> open the wax seal -> to find the shirts they’ve ordered.

The great part about the wax seal is that in the end, they get to keep it whole, because it doesn’t fall apart, so it would be a great safe-keeping.

Pretty cool huh? It should probably be noted that you’ll only get this special packaging if you order 2 or more shirts. It’s good to see brands doing stuff like this with their packaging, because it helps to round out the brand as a whole and also make the purchasing experience much more enjoyable and memorable. As someone that gets sent a lot of t-shirts in the mail I am also happy to see a shirt just sliding out of a poly mailer or a thick paper envelope, but when people put in that bit of extra effort it does make it all a bit more exciting, and I’d be likely to tell people about it the purchase as well, so it’s probably a good marketing tool too.

Cool t-shirt tin packaging

t-shirt tin packaging

I’ve featured photos by extraverage in the past, the long ago past I think, but never of something like this. According to the Dieline, these are t-shirt tins, as in packaging for when you buy a t-shirt. I think they’re very cool, and I imagine that if I received one I’d put it on my desk to store pens and stuff, but as someone who now sells stuff in the HYA store, I can’t help but wonder how much shipping in a can like this would add to the cost of sending a tee around the world (especially considering how much my shipping prices put you Americans off already, even though I’m losing money on the hoodie shipping).

At the weekend the love-of-my-life and I went to the gargantuan Trafford Centre near Manchester to shop (I bought pants!), exchange her broken iPhone (Apple were having none of it, but they’ve sent one now, huzzah!), eat burritos, watch Scott Pilgrim (post about the tees in that coming up soon on HYA), and generally have [...]

What life would be like if tees were sold on the meat aisle

Thumbnail image for What life would be like if tees were sold on the meat aisle

I’m sure that I’ve seen something very similar to this concept before, but it doesn’t stop it from being cool, perhaps just a little less original than most people would presume. Apparently the brand behind these innovatively-packaged tees is called Here! Sod, but any googling of them just turns up the Dieline post where I [...]

When you get sent as many tees as I do, it arriving in a cool package really adds to the whole experience, even though I’m well aware that the packaging will likely find it’s way to my bin a few hours after checking out the tee. If you make an order from Johnny Cupcakes in [...]

410BC know how to make sweet packaging

13.12.2009

410BC sent me a tee a little while back (which will likely be posted soon), and I loved the packaging that it came in so much that I meticulously peeled away the customs label, 410BC return address sticker, my address, the postage sticker, and a lot of the tape the box was wrapped in to [...]

Soft Touch Reviews: Chateau Roux

03.08.2006

When I get sent a tee it’s usually in a brown padded envelope, or sometimes in those rather dramatic looking eagle emblazoned grey packets from the United States Postal Service, which was why I was rather confused when I found a large box on the kitchen table on Tuesday morning, I thought that Chateau Roux [...]

Soft Touch Reviews: Oddica

01.06.2006

Ohmygod! I just thought of a new name for a really placid clothes blogger ‘The Soft Touch’ (if I see that in couple of weeks, I want credit, and the .com is gone already btw). Remember a few weeks ago when I mentioned that I wasn’t bitter about Oddica not sending me a freebie. Well, [...]
