WOOLWORTHS Packaging 2l MIlk Carton . Goldpack 2010

  • So fresh and so clean 

  •  

    I have designed a milk carton that highlights innovation, convenience and functionality in
    an effort
    to create sustainable milk packaging. It borrows the bag in box concept that wine packaging hasadopted. Having a tap fitment and handle makes for easy pouring and
    handling. The carton has a
    gable top that is lengthened to form a handle that can hold
    2 liters of milk. The design is strictly
    according to Woolworths layouts. The carton has a
    pure clean white design to plainly represent
    fresh milk. The only colour I have used is the
    colour to represent the type of milk in each carton. I
    have used black for the Woolworths
     layout and information. The design I have incorporated is a thin
    simple, line drawing of a
    classic milk bottle shape on the front and a recycle icon on the side of the
    carton. The
    package is tamper and pilfer proof.

    The clean and simple design offers great shelf presence and furthermore lowers printing
    costs as
    only one colour is used in the design together with the black logo and information.
    This in turn
    lends itself to balancing manufacturing costs as an additional material is used.
    The 2-liter milk
    laminated liquid bag is placed inside the carton and is used just as any
    conventional bag-in-box
    package. Milk can be dispelled from the carton, without taking
    the carton out of the fridge but just
    by turning the tap. This laminated liquid bag does not
     have to be a threat to the environment, just
    by thinking out of the box it can be used in
    many different ways in and around the home. The
    carton offers some tips to the consumer
    of what one could do with a bag.
    Ideally I would use a thin mono-polymer
    pouch with #4
    plastics and simple to adapt to bio plastic innovations.

    Ideally I would make this bottle out of paperboard pulp (a system identical to the pulp
    packages for eggs). This pulp
    would be made pure white and have a coated finish to it.
    The pulp is made from 97% waste paper
    which can be recycled again. The bag can be
    made from conventional Low Density Polypropylene
    or a Corn Starch alternative. This
    design would drastically decrease the carbon footprint.
