We offer virtual gift wrapping for your e-commerce checkout.

Problem

Suppose you have an online store and you want to offer gift wrapping. What do you have to do then?

  • add stock for wrapping materials 🎁
  • add headcount for wrapping your products 🙋‍♀️🙋
  • add larger shipping containers so the gift wrap stays intact during shipping
    • pay more for shipping because of the larger size
  • add headcount for your online or telephone support

The larger shipping containers and the gift wrap mean more waste and an increased CO2 footprint.

Proposed solution

By creating a virtual gift wrap and showing your product wrapped in an AR scene we can simplify the gift wrap feature.

Features:

  • eco friendly ♻️
    • no paper used
    • compact shipping container still possible
  • personalization 
    • user’s pictures can be used for wrapping
    • personalised greeting
  • social friendly 📸
    • a gift wrap in Augmented Reality is novel
    • it is video content so it works great for social networks
      • additional brand recognition
  • more engaging 3D content
    • confetti when the wrapped gift is shown in the AR scene 🎉
    • a snowman and snowflakes for Christmas ❄️
    • hopping bunnies for Easter 🐇
    • a cake with burning candles for a birthday 🎂
    • floating balloons with your brand on them 🎈

Implementation

We suggest to wrap the shipping boxes. That has the benefit that there is less variety than in the product packaging. AR Wrap needs to know the dimension of the shipping box and needs a picture of one side of the shipping box. It is sufficient to take a picture per shipping box just once.

By wrapping the shipping box the customer still has the element of surprise when she/he sees the gift.

Required data for virtual gift wrapping. The box dimensions and an image of the packaging side.
Checkout integration

Above you can see the checkout integration into your e-commerce site. This UI can be provided by us.

When the user clicks in “Send gift wrap” the dimensions of the shipping package, the package dimensions as well as the wrapping material selection are posted to our API.
