German term
08/15-Verpackung
German to English
Marketing
Paper / Paper Manufacturing
Fantasie und Ökologie in Päckchenform Marktoberdorf (dec). Langsam wird's eng. Wer jetzt noch keine Weihnachtsgeschenke hat, sollte sich beeilen. Schließlich müssen die Präsente ja auch noch eingepackt werden. Damit das schnell geht und keine ***08/15-Verpackung*** daraus wird, holten wir Tipps bei zwei Expertinnen ein. Babette Mayer und Kathrin Hay sind Fachlehrerinnen für Handarbeit und Hauswirtschaft an der Berufsschule Ostallgäu und sie wissen, wie man Geschenke originell verhüllt. Selbermachen und Umweltfreundlichkeit sind dabei gefragt. Tesafilm und Folien gehen gar nicht.

German term (edited):
Nicht 08/15-Verpackung
Nice/pretty/attractive wrapping
In English, we wrap Xmas presents, not package them, before putting them under the tree.
"To wrap them quickly and make them look nice/pretty/attractive, we asked two experts for some ideas."
