Design WOO

You don’t need complex words to best describe an idea; sometimes a simple image can do the trick. What we have here is the 5 Gallons Mineral Water Stackable Bottle. A simple indent at the base of the bottle provides a nestling space for the neck of the bottle below. Stack them up and save space. I love the impromptu flower-vase-by-the-water cooler idea!

Sweet chocolate always comes with an impressive packaging and therefore it’s no surprise to find that most package designers have kept up with this trend. And today, we’d like to show you three surprisingly cool chocolate packaging designs.

Let’s take a look.

【Chocolate Pie Chart】

Designed by Mary& Matt, the packaging has shown us detailed proportions of each ingredient: 70% milk + 20% dark + 10% white chocolate = 100% Chocolate Pie Chart.

【Chocolate Pills】

Inside these conventional pill containers are not pills but chocolate. In case that you may mistake them with real pills, the designers have added special marks onto the boxes’ surfaces. And the concept about the Chocolate Pills is simply for fun! For an instance, the ‘Birth Control’ pills have been given a new name- the ‘Girth Control’.

【Chocolate Walnuts】

These chocolates are packaged by recyclable cardboard box with 9 holes that are covered by silver paper. When you’d like some, you needn’t have to open the box but just poke through the silver paper and then you can take out walnut-shaped chocolate.

“Sunsweet Herbal Waters is a functional water-based beverage steeped with a combination of traditional and exotic herbs, lightly sweetened with organic juices for a unique tasting, intelligent drink. Moving away from mainstream
trends of over-processed, artificial foods and bright color schemes, Sunsweet Naturals is an intelligent and serene contradiction to the norm.The design is almost botanical in its presentation of exotic herbal ingredients, a delicate balance of efficacy, botany, and peaceful optimism. The tactility of using real materials — textured paper, sleek glass, and matte finish — helps to highlight the natural aspects of the products and reinforces what Sunsweet has come to call its “serene authenticity.”

Designed by Philippe Starck | Country: France

World renowned designer Philippe Starck worked with LA Organic in developing and designing their line of organic olive oils. Blending a minimally designed label with a unique structure, Starck succeeded in creating a package design which stands out amongst the plethora of competitive olive oil brands.

“The Kirin brand was re-launched in the Australian market in late 2007 and has been remarkably successful. The packaging alone has supported significant growth with no above-the-line support and limited below-the-line communication.

The packaging outcomes marked the adoption of clear pressure sensitive labeling techniques to the Lion Nathan business and the approach has been used as a milestone outcome within the business. Inspired by the simplicity, purity and Japanese craftsmanship, the identity and packaging have been created using traditional Japanese methods. This is also a reflection of the ‘first press’ beer style which uses a pure filtration process to extract the best of the brew. The Kanji (Japanese characters) and ‘brush-stroke’ calligraphy have been created by an authentic Japanese calligrapher and artist are sympathetic to Japanese traditions and meet exacting standards for approval by the Kirin Holding company.

All packaging components used the highest levels of production standards available including a single UV varnish with high-build raise on the bottle with a foil neck, a UV varnish with emboss on the 6 pack and a spot UV varnish on the carton.”
