Calling Quality Control at Hallmark

The other day when I was taking my tree down I was once again reminded on how much I am dislike the ornament packaging from Hallmark. The one that sent me over the edge (and prompted this blog) was the bubble wrapped "Visit from Santa" ornament. Look at this super tiny ornament with well over 2 square feet of bubble wrap!

In addition to the ridiculous amount of bubble wrap, Hallmark also uses plastic "fitted" inserts into their boxes or plain old tissue paper. What I want to know is what determines what type of wrap they use? I don't envision a great assembly line for packaging instead I envision 1000's of Hallmark elves in this huge disorganized warehouse and they just grab the thing closest to them for packaging.

This is why none of my hallmark ornaments came out in 2011

I was wondering this also as I was putting away the tree. I prefer the plastic packing.
