The Packaging Diva — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 16:55:35 +0000

I love this package the shape and the colors. Very clever imitation of nature.

Great idea for testing new wines and gifts. Especially for very expensive bottles.

Unique concept to remind you to tale your pills at the same time being decorative. Especially good for seniors.

Innovative on the go packaging modeled after the Neo (Neosporin to go) package.

Package that responds to audio input. Not commercialized but used for displays.

My Best Packaging Picks For October

Its always hard for me to choose a “best of” because there are some many criteria impacting product packaging. But every month there are a few outstanding examples of innovative product packaging.

So here are my picks for Oct:

FreshCase: wine box design by Constellation Europe

The lightweight box holds the equivalent of three bottles (2.25 litres), while using the same shelf space as one bottle, and keeps wine fresh for six weeks. This looks amazing for space utilization. Now if the wine is just as good as the package.

Products in packaging pouches for kids that don’t spill and are portable. This is such fun packaging even grown ups will like it

Innovative packaging snacks for vending machines. A whole new category opportunity for the fresh produce industry providing the packaging does its job.

A new concept in pizza boxes which has remained virtually unchanged for years. It reduces waste and promotes recycling.

This patented invention is that fact that the Green Box is made from 100% recycled cardboard. There is also the option for a vegetable-based coating.
