Heineken Cube Bottle

Do you like beers? Would you like to try a Heineken Cube?

These innovative stackable bottles will easily fit into your refrigerator, no space lost. It's designed for Heineken beer by French industrial designer Petit Romain.

The concept of this packaging will result in cost saving during transportation and storage. More shelf space for stores and less impact on environment.

The Heineken Cube is still just a concept that has no official date  for general release. While the Cube is a new  concept, the idea of a square beer bottle is not a new idea to  Heineken. The beer maker attempted in 1963 to help with recycling, and  so the bottle could be used in construction.

It’s hard to argue with the fact that these cube beer bottles would be  much easier to pack and stack, saving companies money on shipping which  would hopefully translate to a reduction in both carbon emissions and price. 

Anyway, the design looks good and cool. But these little cute babies don't appear to allow for easy drinking straight from the bottle.

Sustainable Origami Food Box

This is packaging for a quick service mobile eatery in Manila, Philippines called Guactruck, a little food truck.

It is designed by Michealle Lee. It is inspired by origami, the packaging resembles a bud that blooms into a flower when opened. It was created with sustainability in mind, being only one piece of paperboard with no glue or plastic. It focuses on creativity and aesthetics, as well as highlights the environmental aspect commonly associated with packaging.

Four Flavoured Butter Knife Packaging

These four flavoured butter knife packagings are designed by Yeongkeun Jeong. The idea is to package butter in a very convenient single-serve way, so it is perfect for traveling or picnics. The wooden knife lid is used to spread the butter without carrying an additional cutlery.

As a fan of butter, I love this idea and I think this kind of all-in-one concept can be extended to yogurt and ice cream packaging designs.

Creative Toothpaste Packaging

It’s always annoying when you used around 95% of what’s in your tube of toothpaste and no matter how much you squeezed and pressed the darned thing, the toothpaste that you know is still inside just won’t come out.

Here is a creative toothpaste packaging designed by Sang Min Yu and Wong Sang Lee that allows you to squeeze out every last bit of toothpaste. It's called SavePaste, which is a whole new way to package toothpaste without the wastage at the end.

SavePaste has a three-point agenda: To eliminate the hard-to-squeeze dead space, minimizing toothpaste residue left inside the container and also reduce two packaging to one. It means we can reduce waste and manufacturing price plus encourage recycling. And finally, have a user-friendly design so that people easily adopt it.

I really hope this toothpaste packaging will appear in the market very soon!
