This packaging by Alien and Monkey is a different kind of sand box that uses grains of sand to protect an object inside, which makes the experience of opening it up like finding a treasure.
The sand packaging is formed by mixing sand with other natural minerals and then subjecting the mixture to compression and drying. Instead of being harmful to the environment, the sand can go right back into the earth, plus forming one of these unique sand packages does not require any harmful glues or resins. The unusual sand box is protected by a wooden frame and like sand, both of these materials are available all over the world, reducing the need to ship special materials solely for the purpose of assembling packaging.
Sandy Packaging Concepts
This Sand Box Packaging is All Natural and Super Sustainable
Trend Themes
1. Sustainable Packaging - Exploring the potential for creating new and eco-friendly packaging materials that reduce waste and carbon footprint while being biodegradable or recyclable.
2. Natural-based Packaging - Looking into using natural materials to form packaging, such as sand, clay, or other materials that are available all over the world as opposed to shipping special materials for the purpose of assembling packaging.
3. Minimalist Packaging - Developing packaging that uses the least amount of materials possible while keeping items safe and secure during transport, reducing packaging waste and material costs.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Goods - Rethinking traditional packaging materials and exploring alternatives that are eco-friendly and cost-effective, such as sand or clay-based packaging options.
2. Logistics and Supply Chain - Reconfiguring existing supply chain and logistics processes to accommodate new packaging materials such as sand, optimizing for more sustainable and efficient practices.
3. Construction and Infrastructure - Exploring ways to repurpose sand and other natural minerals found near construction and infrastructure projects for use in sustainable packaging solutions to reduce waste and cost.
