Grass packaging
Grass squares are designed to give a natural touch to the office or home by placing them freely or according to feng-shui. Unlike ordinary flowers, “grass” is completely natural, a piece of earth, that grows indoors with minimal care.
The packages have an air opening to gain longer shelf live for the product. The minimalistic design and logo is intended to give a flowing, “breathing” feel to it, as well as elegance and life-style.

Milk Packaging
These milk cartons by design studio Raw-Edges demonstrate an interesting marriage of form and function. Percentages of fat in the milk can be identified visually by the form of the packaging, in addition to the usual information. The color palette remains the same on all three cartons, giving them a very unified look. There's also a modern simplicity at work with the spareness and color choice. Besides denoting the fat percentage, the indented forms on the packaging also serve as grips. This is the kind of chic milk carton you'd likely find in Patrick Bateman's fridge.

Jooze - student packaging design
The shape of the logo is inspired by the shape of a sliced fruit, and the handwritten typeface used is to portray a sense of fun, hands-on personality and characteristic that appeals to kids and toddlers. The logo also consists of singular bright colours, which may vary depending on the flavour of the juice. This would hopefully be a recognisable icon whereby children can relate and connect to the brand.
A simplified illustration of the fruits are to further clarify the flavours, to add visual aesthetics, and to appeal and connect to the target audience.
The juice box is shaped in an unconventional way to incorporate the essence of the logo, to gain instant recognition from the audience, and to capture their attention, especially if this product is placed alongside other juices on the supermarket shelves.

Innovative packaging for French Rabbit wine
Innovative packaging make French Rabbit wines unusual. Their 100% recyclable packaging use 90% less material than standard wine bottles. Bold, festive graphics make these wines something to talk about, if only for their design qualities. (I have no idea if these wines are actually good.) This product was featured in a recent issue of ID magazine in an article about 'green' weddings and some eco-conscious celebratory choices you can make. French Rabbit is a great example of how nontraditional packaging methods can be used to make a product more eco-friendly without compromising on design.
