Unusual Packaging Designs – 10 Great Examples

#10 Powerful cigarettes packaging

Smoking kills. This slogan is known globally, mostly thanks to the pictures showing black lungs, rotten teeth and all kinds of diseases associated with cigarettes.

However, these are only graphics. Powerful images, but still images. This packaging design though is a different story. It’s shaped to remind a coffin – a very clear message and smart use of packaging.

Who would have thought that honey is such a fuel for creativity?

There are many great ideas showcasing honey jars (and one of them has already attracted our attention), but this lovely concept by Babees Honey is as refreshing as original it is.

#8 Milk Carton

The most unusual packaging doesn’t necessarily mean handy. It’s the exact case of this milk carton. It looks absolutely stunning, but we have some serious doubts about using it in real life.

#7 Note Headphones

Most of the headphones available in the market are packed in plain boxes. There isn’t anything particularly inventive about them (some use a window to present the product). However, this design that uses the headphones cable in the packaging design looks extremely cool (and guarantees to attract the attention).

#6 Juice packaging

There are numerous ways to design food products packaging. Some companies tend to lean towards minimalism, whilst others prefer cheerful projects. The concept below blends both of these – the packaging creates a fantastic feeling of freshness.

#3 Hudson Made Soaps

Premium soaps of Hudson Made are placed in a cardboard box, constructed in such a neat way that after untying the top, the packaging opens itself and presents the product.

#2 Hay packaging

Being eco can mean a lot of things. E-commerce brands choose recycled cardboard and this particular producer of eggs reach for… hay. This one-of-a-kind solution is made of dried grass hardened enough to protect eggs inside.

As you can see above, this solution is also used to pack meat products – is it the future of packaging?

P.S. We see it in a different light.

#1 Convenient packaging for fast food

This revolutionary idea is what every fast food place needs. Stripes hold particular products – like burgers, fries, boxes with rice etc. – and they all fold into a kind of bag that you can carry anywhere you want.
