History & tradition
Contemporary eco-wrapping guides
Twisting the last two tails into a rope-like handle is a modern presentation finish for bottles and bag-style wraps. It descends from the old habit of carrying a bojagi bundle by its knotted corners, but the twisted handle as a named step appears in recent tutorials, including Greenpeace Korea's 2019 guide to reusable cloth wrapping as an alternative to disposable paper.
Common in zero-waste and holiday wrapping guides for bottles and handbag-style wraps.
