We often consider the products we use and their packaging to be two separate things – the product is the thing we want, and its packaging is a piece of trash thrown away. However, these 25 ingenious packaging designs prove that a well-designed package can complement or even enhance the product it was designed to carry.
Good design isn’t just about the product – it’s also about good packaging. Honey pots are an excellent example of packaging design. The hexagon shape is perfect for representing what’s inside the jar and can be stacked to form a honeycomb pattern. And the hexagonal cap doubles as a honey dipper as well. A pot like that complements its product and makes it a pleasure to use (as if using honey could get any better).
While not precisely applicable, some other packaging is still helpful and stylish. The Note headphones’ packaging strongly associates with music, while the tea hangers or Kiss juice boxes make their products just a bit more fun to use. It doesn’t always have to be about function. (H/T)
