Triangle packaging for the sustainable soap

Two Swedish designers Jenny Norberg and Petra Liljas created a great sustainable product – triangle soap. It is made of recycled cooking oil and packed in paper.
Their design studio dubbed Apocalypse focuses only on 100% recycled sustainable goods.

Tri-Ply's Right Triangle Box

Via Packaging Digest: a right triangle prism-shaped box for Lakeland Tri-Ply pots and pans. Designed by UK-based Nicepond, these close-packing boxes set themselves apart by making unusually efficient use of space and materials. (Also opens up a number of different display options.)

Pepsi


The packages contained 3 smaller boxes filled with 5 cans of Pepsi each — one with 5 cans with the logo from 1898 to 1950; another with 5 cans with the logo from 1962 to 1998; and the final one with all 5 cans sporting the newest logo.
These packages were sent to get people talking about the new pespi brand... i thought i'd show this example as i like the range of logo's they have produced all on the same product, also its a one off piece of print packaging.
I must say that i like the white cans alot better than the new blue can, i think the logo has lost all of its personality, the old red script type is much nicer although it is very similar to Coca-cola. My favourite logo is the right hand can in the box on the left as it incorporates the script logo along with the image of the well known pepsi symbol and the bottle top.



Just came across The Ghostly Store and their special edition packaging for their 100th release: Manzoku: The Ghostly Bento. Only fifty boxes were handmade, so it’s a good bet that a lot of time, thought and craftsmanship was put into this limited edition release. It’s great to see the labels/merchants get passionate about their packaging. I shall be returning to the ethereal online presence of this music label quite often.


woodstock-box-set-woodstock-40-years-on-back-to-yasgurs-farm-6cd-limited-edition.jpg The most recent Woodstock Box Set called Woodstock: 40 Years on: Back to Yasgur's Farm (6CD, Limited Edition) marks its 40-year anniversary. The 40 Years on Woodstock Box Set feautres a comprehensive 77-song, six-CD set in chronological order of performance and includes 38 previously unreleased recordings, including the Grateful Dead, The Who, Tim Hardin, Jefferson Airplane, Country Joe & The Fish, and others, and Yasgur's legendary breakfast speech. To assemble the most comprehensive document of the myth-steeped weekend, the boxed set's co-producer Andy Zax pored over every inch of multitrack tape in search of the strongest parts of each of the 33 sets. 'The way we approached all of the material was as if it was a cinema verite documentary-the raw record of the event,' Zax says. The set also boasts a considerable amount of ancillary material sprinkled throughout the discs-stage announcements, lysergic babble, the sounds of rain, a cameo appearance by Abbie Hoffman, and the graciousness of Max Yasgur's address to the crowd, heard for the first time in its entirety. Hear the best concert ever in this incredible box set!
Listen up, Ringo Beatles fans -- your holiday gift has just been located, and it's on aisle 17 in Bloomingdale's. The somewhat janky limited edition collector's box is a dream come true for fanatics of the Fab Four, packing 13 original Beatles' CDs, an engraved guitar pick, two masters and the "Love" CD -- none of which are available via the iTunes Music Store, mind you. Just 2,500 of the $795 sets are available, but -- humorously enough -- you'll be stuck ripping and transferring every last disc onto your individually numbered, etched-with-a-Beatles-logo 120GB iPod classic. Ah well, at least this scenario lets you choose your own bitrate, right?

Other than having a handmade, hand silkscreened, and autographed cd sleeve, this limited edition project definately holds weight for its musical content as well.  There are only 20 copies made.
