There was a conference about this subject last week here in San Diego.
One of the speakers (I believe from celery design) had very interesting things to say, one being that doing "eco" printing is usually more expensive, so if you can't reduce cost of the production, you might be able to increase value:
So they were working on a LED light bulb packaging, that looks a lot different than the ones that are made of plastic and you need a combat knife to open.
The package is %100 recyclable, there is no glue golding the box together, all the folds lock together through inserts, and they are designed to fit more packs on the container box. When opened the pack reminds you of a flower.
Once you used the product, you may use 2 bulb packages to create a lamp:
I thought it was great, and very creative
- nice!
kona - Great stuff, thanks Meeklo.
Doesn't the extra cardboard offset the saving in glue? Nice though - very inspiring.detritus - the paper used is %100 from recycled materials and %100 compostable and their main competitor uses hard plastic!Meeklo
