In the earliest days of packaging in UK, natural materials were used such as tree leaves, bamboo, lotus leaves, palm leaves, gourds, coconut shells, shells of shellfish and animal skin. Later on, man-made material were used including fabrics, ceramics, metals, lacquer ware, wood ware, jade ware and certain types of paper.
