Good vs. Bad Packaging?

[YoNinja]

As far as packaging goes, I don’t care, because my yoyos never go back in, with the exception of my Rextreme, which just doesn’t fit anywhere else. I just have an 8-yoyo yoyo bag (I only got five, so it works for now), and just keep them there.

Why keep yo-yo’s in original packages? When you want to resell them, a mint package is an attractive selling point. My manufacturers boxes go into a storage-box so that I can include the original packaging when selling or trading.

This is why I wish YYE carried those great yo-yo cases that a certain website used to sell. The one’s that were made with aluminum poker-chip cases and foam. Big hole in the marketplace when those became unavailable. I wish they would make them available again at a very HighSpeed

If you really want single yo-yo boxes, look at the yoyoJoker’s packaging. Their spindle-case is awesome for storage and transport. You can get them separately.

This. Glad i picked up a few. And lol at putting yoyos back in their packaging every time. No thanks. Especially for things like YYR which all have the same box, sounds like a nightmare. I suspect the OP will change his method once he owns more than 2 yoyos.

I’ll reply to both, @YoyoGeezer I agree with you on the selling point, that is a very valid reason to save your boxes, but as I mentioned I just have an obsession for packaging in general, not only for yoyos, but for everything: my headphones, cologne, ps3, ipods etc.

@NathanC I (OP) have 6 yoyos 4 are YYF, one YOMEGA and one C3. Again, the yyf packaging is fancy, but it’s not “daily reusable” material, it gets frustrating, I tried it… but I’ve been returning the Capless to it’s box for a month or so now, and it just doesn’t have any negative impact !

@Studio42

I’m not playing with the box.

When the KLR dropped, I didn’t go for the wood box, I went with the “regular package”. I don’t need to spend extra for the wood box, which as amazing as they were(so I was told), I ain’t playing with the box.

I am a bit let down with the pre-release HEX being in the typical YYJ plastic hook-hanger box, but I ain’t playing with fancy packaging. I will admit I was VERY let down with the packaging for the Phenom, mostly since the “high dollar throws” seem to have fancier packaging. Again, I’m not playing with the box.

I do keep my boxes for many products, such as CLYW, OD and anything unique. YYJ packaging is so boring, so no need to keep it. This isn’t a knock to YYJ, they are one of my favorite brands.

I think my Corli Prototype shipped in a pair of socks. Odd.

Get the product to me safely is my biggest concern. If bubble wrap will do it, I’ll accept it.

I totally understand that you aren’t interested in the package because you aren’t on a daily interaction with it. yet you still cared for how it looks when you first took a look KNOWING that you may never look at it ever again you STILL CARE! but seriously, I wasn’t saying for ALL yoyos to put back in packaging, just those who are very easy to handle. And of course, all unique things deserve to be kept

HAHA pair of socks ;D made me laugh!

@Gambit

I like it when people like CLYW and SPYY use little boxes because it makes them easier to store for those of us without foam-lined suitcases.

The YYF packaging is nice, but no doubt the fancier packaging costs more to produce which I assume would mean YYF having to raise prices slightly to offset the cost…?

I believe those two may just be the “simplest classiest” packaging of yoyos along with the pouch, on the first page of this forum “TotalArtist” posted a gallery of many different packaging, some actually looking pretty neat!

I’m not sure if this is what you’re talking about, but I’ve seen this Duncan package that looks like a pencil case? haha I’d actually like one of these if I get one, maybe I’ll stop using the boxes, IM NOT EVEN SURE IF I’LL STOP! :o haha

[DrAwesome]

I don’t plan on selling or trading over the bst so I don’t keep the package. Although if the box has a sticker on top, like the cafe racer, I take the sticker off and put it on my laptop.

[anonyo]

I like YYJ’s packaging, If CLYW’s packaging was plastic I’d like it a bit more, I always found Duncan’s packaging frustrating, YYF’s packaging is a bit too hectic for my taste, but all get the job done, no scratches, nicks, nothing. I always store my boxes and mark them, they have sentimental value to me, its a little reminder of that very exciting day when I got a new yoyo.

EDIT: the YYJ H3X might be kept in its packaging, I like the look of it. But lets see if that packaging is available at BAC or Nats.

I like YYJ’s packaging

never would have guessed it.

[YoYoJordan]

I really like the packaging of YYR yoyos. They come with a black, large cardboard box with wool inside to keep your yoyo nice and cozy. For more mainstream companies, I would say YYJ. Nice and modern looking, nothing to get in the way of getting that yoyo out (ahem yoyofactory).

[anonyo]

Look for more yoyofactory yoyos to come in this re-usable stackable, wall mountable box later this year.

notice how I said “like” not “love” if there’s any packaging I love its either the PSG sleeves, or the YYJ H3X packaging.

A lot of care and thought went into that one.

[GregP]

Been using my Deadly SpINS container for all my spare bearings (each in small resealable baggies). Every other box gets flattened where possible, or just turfed. If I decide to resell, for every person who wants a pristine box, there will be 5 who don’t care. I can handle those (made up just now) odds.

I haven’t got myself any D.S yet! I’m thinking of it once I get some money haha. but back to topic, I can definitely agree that when people are look to buy something used, they aren’t looking for the perfect packaging or even the original packaging! but hey, each person has their own collection pref.

This just came in the mail…for those interested in the presentation of the BVM2:

Look at the yo-yo nesting in there like a little birdie…so cute:
Sorry, focus was not on the yo-yo, but the rest of it, as this is about packing
