Why isn’t packaging this hot anymore?


I remember going to dad's office - he was Mr. Public Relations once upon a time - and watching the secretaries change the ribbons in the typewriters. (I wonder how many of us actually used a real typewriter in our lifetimes.)

Anyway the best part of them changing the ribbons was they gave me the incredible tins the ribbons came in. I saved a few of these incredibly designed packages. It’s sad that everything now is downloadable or in plastic clamshells and neat designs are extinct.
