[Chinese Packaging Network News] When I was a child, I used to keep the candy wrappers and fold them into small flowers, tying them to the light switch. At that time, I didn’t realize it was packaging design. Later, as I grew older, I began to notice how flashy packaging could be overwhelming, and even simple items like matches became a source of melancholy.
1. FJ: Dude, let’s play this ball again
Russian designer Constantin Bolimond created a bowler-shaped beverage bottle that can still be used as an independent object after the drink is finished. The lid transforms into a cute bowling ball, making you want to collect it for its unique and functional design.
2. Brush Socks Packaging – Socksraw
Designed by Lee Jiye, the sock wrapping paper looks like a brush. Socksraw combines socks with art, where colorful socks are as vibrant as a painter's brush, turning each pair into a piece of visual expression.
3. Coffee Bags Turned Into Coffee Spoon Packaging
Every time I rushed through a cup of coffee, I wished I had a spoon. Designer Jaeyong Lee noticed this issue too. The COFFINGER coffee bag features a built-in "finger" at the end. After pouring the coffee, you flip the package over with your index finger and stir the coffee inside, eliminating the need for a separate spoon.
4. Candles With Matches
Coor introduced a "competition candle" that has a flammable match head on the side. The "flame skin" on the packaging is coated with a mixture of red phosphorus and glass powder. You just need to rub the match head sideways on the box to ignite the candle, without any need for a lighter.
5. Automatically Expired Pharmaceutical Packaging
Kanupriya Goel and Gautam Goel designed a medical packaging material that automatically expires. After a set period, the surface of the material shows an expiration mark, preventing merchants from misleading customers.
6. Sand Gift Box
The "Alien and Monkey" studio in Barcelona designed a gift box made from sand, which also serves as a shockproof filler. Once opened, the box breaks into sand without causing any pollution, making it an eco-friendly and creative packaging solution.
7. "Half Pint": Glass Milk Cup
Liz Dubois-FRED Studios designed the "Half-Pint" milk cup, resembling an open milk carton made of glass. It’s crafted using two processes—blowing and molding. The irregular opening gives it a fresh, newly opened look, while the angular design prevents it from slipping out of your hand. Simple, elegant, and fun.
