Packaging for Screenprints

Since I have completed my screen prints and plenty of time left until the hand in for this module, it would be a waste if I didn't try to do anything more with my prints to make them appear even more complete and special. 

Although the brief does not require me to do anything more, I like the idea of making some sort of packaging - an envelope or box to encase my prints in to make them even more valuable. Because some of my prints are not that obvious that they are based on Coraline, making some sort of packaging and incorporating more of the Coraline theme/imagery into it would be a good way to tie them all up together into one complete package and finished product.

Inspiration:
I like how simple and plain the exterior of the above boxes are, but once opened, the receiver is greeted with nicely printed patterns on the inside of them. The patterns add a nice touch of playfulness to the otherwise quite conservative looking packaging.
I also like the idea of further wrapping each prints individually - with a plain coloured (probably black) tissue paper, or a similar kind, with the quote/text that the print is based on screen printed on it.
