Generally, I agree. I feel like I'm wasting my money when I unwrap something with overly "beautiful" packaging. It's a tiny fraction of my experience, I've already bought it at this point and figuring out all the nested little components hidden away and all the custom printing is just adding to the price with expensive trash.
I know it's heresy, but I hate Apple packaging for exactly this reason. Startups seeking to emulate wasteful and expensive packaging are convincing me they're more concerned with image than substance.

- fallinghawks 12y agoI too feel the sense of waste. It's a box. I'm going to throw it in the trash. To me, a pricey box says, "You just spent an extra X dollars that didn't need to be spent." It's like sending a donation to a charity and they spend it by mailing you every week begging for more money. > Startups seeking to emulate wasteful and expensive packaging are convincing me they're more concerned with image than substance. We see this in new restaurants all the time. They go crazy remodeling, throw away too much money, then it opens and they don't get enough customers to pay for the lovely interior. Bye bye restaurant.
