Day 345 Mar 19, 2013

The Pan de Manila paper wrapper:

I think I said this some time ago already, maybe even in this year's project 365 - if so, well, I shall try not to repeat myself, but the fact remains that this is a very good paper bag wrapper. In fact, even if I did have something to say about their wrapper before, now it comes with a little more of an added attraction - some color, as can be seen, highlights the rather traditional drawing.

What is not so obvious is how the drawing so neatly wraps around the paper bag (another new innovative manner for said wrapper), which made finding the seam - where one side starts and the other ends, a bit difficult... specially to the casual observer.

Of course, this does not distract from the fact that the pan de sal they bake is still of superior quality. It's rather soft while warm, and goes great with their cheese spread... their hot choco mix on the side.

What does this wrapper say of the company and the product? Simple, the company does not spare any expense with quality - be it the wrapper and more importantly, it product. I mean, it's almost a shame to throw the wrapper... I'd even say it can be framed. It's very Filipino too - as it depicts, not just the classic house design, but the caretela (horse carriage) that can rarely be seen these days... unless you go to down town.

Bravo to the designers... and the owners for this.
