Quirky 'Real' Juice Packaging

Here at Chic Mother and Baby we showcase a lot of fashion, stationery, party and accessories but we also love to share interesting packaging ideas.

This brilliant packaging solution designed by  product designer Naoto Fukasawa for fruit juice box to imitates the feel of real fruit skin.

“I imagined that if the surface of the package imitated the colour and texture of the fruit skin, then the object would reproduce the feeling of the real skin.”

I wonder how it is produced, so good I want to eat the packaging :D and if it's biodegradable!?

I have a headache...

How chic is this pacakaging? Help Remedies - witty name + simple design. Their packaging is made of molded paper pulp and a bio plastic.

Wine Time... How do you Unwind?

This will be a new Friday feature "Wine Time" - How do you unwind on a Friday Evening? For me it's a glass of wine, a good o' hot gossip magazine and using my sticky notes to tab all the things I want but can't afford.

Not that I want to encourage alcohol... but I thought a great way to start this feature is with a lovely showcase of Australian wine packaging. I know it sound so superficial but when I am at the liquor store I like to try different brands and I go by the label design.

Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous...

Did I mention gorgeous? I can't vouch for the product's effectiveness but I can definitely say I LOVE the packaging range from Archipelago Botanicals collections. It's definitely got the Anthropologie touch to it - this style is very vintage hip and chic.

Jamie Oliver Packaging

I came across the Jamie Oliver Magazine this morning (I didnt even know he had one!) and its a lovely designed in a nice square format printed on uncoated paper with great food photography and recipes. I love all of Jamie Oliver's food product packaging designed by Pearlfisher. I'd just like to collect his products and display it in my kitchen...

5 Delectable Chocolate Packaging

Ok I have indulged in chocolate easter eggs for the past 4 days so I have put together a yummy collection of different chocolate packaging designs. If only they could all be delivered to my door step.

100% Chocolate Cafe - I am so annoyed I didnt have this on my list of things to do while in Tokyo!

Hahaha - the truth hurts. You do have to visit Fat Pig Chocolate for laughs.

Chocolate Pie Chart data visualised by Chocolate Editions! It's also sold here in Australia at Third Drawer Down.

Mast Brothers Chocolate – Artisan-made chocolate bars come wrapped in imported Italian papers.

{Coco} Absolute - very sleek and nice information strip

Plantable Packaging

This is awesome! People can be so innovative. We found Dandelion's made from corn reUsable products and now this. Pangea Organics have eco-friendly and fun packaging for their skin care products. The packaging is plantable as it is infused with seeds and grows to a basil plant! A coconut soap holder is included in the pack too.

The above image is the holiday packaging from last year. Wish I had found this earlier!!
"Born out of the desire to do right by the planet, this year Pangea Organics has a great gift idea to let you in on the fun, too! After two years in development, Pangea just released a series of holiday gift boxes that actually grow Spruce Trees. Yes, that’s right. Just like their plantable packaging that grows organic, edible sweet basil, the box itself grows a tree. Just soak the box for a day, and plant it in the earth. If everyone plants their holiday gift box and bar soap box this year, collectively, we will have planted 122,000 trees which is equivalent to not driving 30 million miles in one year! Multiply that out by 75 years, the average lifespan of a Spruce, and that’s 2 billion, 250 millions that we’re collectively offsetting!"

Milk Packaging Showcase

No boring milk packaging here. Just a small showcase of actual milk packaging from around the world - Japan, Russia, Sweden, USA. I'd prefer to buy milk in a bottle although carrying it wouldn't be so fun...
