Image: The Do’s And Don’ts Of Cardboard Packaging
Every business needs to ship its finished products to different locations and the right packaging plays a major role in this. The packaging material should offer maximum protection to the packaged material so that it doesn’t get contaminated or damaged at the time of transportation. The packaging material is selected based on the size and nature of the goods to be packed. The packaging material for the food products is different from the heavy duty products. The fragile products may require more protective layers of the packaging material to keep the goods safe. The climatic condition will also govern the selection.

This infographic, brought to you by globepackaging, highlights some of the key points which you should always keep in mind while packing and transporting your products using cardboard boxes.

Image: The Language of Flowers
This infographic provides a variety of information about the meaning behind flowers – including the meaning and impact of giving them as gifts, the symbolism of different colors of flowers, and the specific meaning behind flowers like the geranium, iris, and daisy among others. Just to highlight some information, this infographic delves into the anxiety and depression mitigating effects that flowers have on an individual, and it has specific meanings behind the most common flower colors. The Victorians had their own special flower language – primarily because it was considered scandalous to say aloud the things that could only be said by flower – and this infographic takes a step towards illuminating that complex and romantic system of communication. Sometimes you just want to give a bouquet, other times you want it to have a specific meaning, like a letter or a poem. This information would be useful to anyone who is trying to compose a meaningful gift of flowers for a special person in their life.

Did you know that one in ten cosmetic procedures are performed on men. Latest research from The Cosmetic Physicians Society of Australia reveals that injectable cosmetic procedures, such as Brotox, have increased by 50 percent in Australia. Compared to the USA at a minor 5 percent increase, this is huge market growth!

So what are the reasons behind this significant trend!? After years of working in the harsh Australian sun, it is reasonable that many baby-boomer men would need a solution for rejuvenating their weathered faces. Interestingly though, brotox is also being used for confidence and lifestyle reasons as well. A Merz Aesthetics and Costhetics survey has found that Australian men believe Brotox allows them to have more fun. They also found that many men feel Brotox makes them way more confident in their sex lives (woohoo)! There are also non-cosmetic uses of Brotox; it has been clinically proven to fix chronic migraines and abnormal eyelid spasms.
