Holiday Toy Packaging A Christmas ConspiracY!


Its a conspiracy i saY! Why in this amazingly confusing world do companies believe they need to package toys and pretty much lock them inside the packaging with Zip-ties, Wires, Chains and cables.  I swear some of my daughters toys she got for Christmas had an extra pound of straps holding the toy to the piece of cardboard in the package.


Why do they do this? i mean i get it, i understand the companies want the product to not move round and they want it to look perfect in the package. They also dont want the item to get damaged but Come on noW they are going way overboard.  I know this isn't new to this year but i have seen such an over abundance of tie downs in Kids toys this year that ha got me all riled up.  Here is an interesting article with some opinions on the topic. http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/142918 .  Now please before you go an say DUh Kortney they need the straps, I know they need the straps but i just don't think they need so many. Reduce the strapping by like 50% and make it so parents are not spending 20 minutes opening each Xmas present for their child.  Maybe make it o i don't need to go searching through a tool bag to find bolt cutters and tin snips? I guess parents could always go through and open all the gifts beforehand and save time but what kid does not enjoy Unwrapping a gift and handing it to mommy/daddy and asking them to "open please"    Good times! Merry Christmas everyone and Happy Holidays!!! Here is another interesting Webpage about Toy  packaging
