This is my first blog so bear with me…
Currently I’m working on a project for my Packaging Tech Class where we have to come up with packaging for an eco-friendly cosmetics company. The base of their makeup is made out of indigenous flora of Brazil. The product is made for Barney’s and is for women 22-40. After doing some research into pretty Portuguese words I came up with beija, which is short for beija-flor (flower-kisser/hummingbird). The flower part is implied using the floral paper for the packaging.
The box design will consist of a box created from the seed paper as seen above. Seed paper is made so that one can plant it and flowers will grow. Some of the flowers that grow from the paper are flowers that hummingbirds feed from. The logo and information will be placed on the box with a sticker, stuck on with an eco-friendly glue. This way there isn’t much waste with the product and the handmade paper gives it a more luxurious feel.
Now off to create some pasta gift packaging…
