“eBay just launched a new set of reusable boxes as part of a pilot program to make shipping a little greener.

Starting in October, the company is giving away 100,000 shipping boxes to eBay sellers, and encouraging reuse. According to eBay, if each box gets used five times, the program could protect nearly 4,000 trees, save 2.4 million gallons of water, and conserve enough electricity to power 49 homes for a year.

Bols Genever Gift Box

August 9, 2010 | 6 Comments

“Manufactured in a limited quantity is what allowed us to create this hand-assembled wood gift box for Bols Genever. The typographic pattern was silkscreened on thin sheets of aged plywood. The plywood was then cut into small, uniform strips. Each box is unique, as the strips were selected randomly during the assembly. A letter pressed label acts as a seal and holds the top in place.”

Chocolate Gift Box Wedding Invitation

July 25, 2010 | 8 Comments

“To indulge the invitees, the bride wanted to give her wedding invitations with a box of chocolate. The box was designed in an elegant way with a cover & a pull out drawer. At the back of the cover, a space was left for the names of the invitees. A custom wax seal (it carried the Arabic monogram for the bride’s & groom’s name) was attached to the wrapped ribbon around the cover; this is to add a sense of the Victorian era which was the theme of wedding.”

Produced for the children’s section of a Swedish department store.

Alpha Box & Dice

May 12, 2010 | No Comments

“Justin Lane – lovable rogue and wine evangelist approached us to collaborate with him to create a unique brand after years of making other people’s wines famous. Question was how to put years of unbelievable stories, old school methods that date back to the dawn of the grape, made up bathtub methods from Einsten-esque setups and pure genius – onto a 10×10 label… This guy is a master of story telling through
wine and unfortunately conventional rolling hills with cursive brand names would not do here. We realised the brand name and the world’s first Alphabet of wines in their tin shed which is now known as The AB&D Wine Salon and has been given the Mash hand painted touch. Each wine unique like a film project, 26 letters, 26 stories all interconnected. Available now ABCD&F – What will surely be a collectors item.

“For the 2008 Christmas box, our design centered on the geometrical harmony of the cube. Latched by hand and graced with a gift tag, these boxes were intended to be sufficiently attractive to give unwrapped. Bold, graphic patterns form a wallpaper effect in-store ensuring the boxes remain clearly Molton Brown, while beautifully fashioned studs and ribbon ends suggest the reusability of the box.”

“The exterior box is designed to resemble a vintage AC/DC guitar amp – complete with the original logo that was spray-painted onto the rear of Angus and Malcolm’s speaker cabinets in 1975. The “head” of the amp has a handle that lifts the top off to reveal the contents housed within. Oh yeah, the head is also a working guitar amplifier! That’s right, one watt of pure AC/DC makes this box a truly unique collector’s item. You can play the box set while listening to the box set! Check out the videos of Angus using the amp.
