50 Times People Noticed Such Ingenious Product Designs, They Just Had To Share Them With Everyone
Almost every product you can imagine arrives at a shop or your front door in some form of packaging (with additional layers added during transport and delivery).
The type and purpose of this container can vary tremendously, from a simple cloth bag to an elaborate gift box with laser-cut foam inlays.
However, if given enough thought, all of them can stand out from their competitors. And the subreddit r/PackagingDesign has proof. With 6.1k members, it's not the biggest community on the platform, but since its inception in 2013, among other types of content, these folks have shared plenty of examples of aesthetics blending perfectly with functionality. Here are some of the best ones.

Anti-Smoking Cigarette Packs
I don't think this will work. Smokers are well aware of the dangers and these actually look quite cool.
They do look cool. I wonder if I could get one of the packages to store other stuff in

Oh yeah. Stock them up with clove cigarettes and put some Siouxsie on.

I wish I could by a pack, and send it to my friend who’s a mortician 😃.
Everybody KNOWS smoking is not good. This will probably attract a lot of young, stupid, goth smokers to the fold . . .
A joke? I don't see a cigarette manufacturer using this design unless forced by law.
Yeah, I don’t see brand marketing, I bet it’s a design school assignment or something.

It is coffin-shaped, seemingly to remind that smoking kills. I doubt it will help though. It just looks cool.

A coffin for your coffin nails. Twern’t the cough that carried her off; twere the coffin they carried her off in.
There was a cigarette brand in the UK in the 90s called Death Cigarettes.
I've quit smoking when I had children. Would be tempted to buy the smokes and just keep the box. Too cool to actually use for discouragement.
I have an ashtray that says "Don't smoke! You'll breathe easier and live longer" on the bottom.
The problem with using death to steer people away from cigarettes is that death sells! Always has in the history of advertising. Sex and Death. In many people, death is very attractive. This is why people seek out drugs even when they become deadly like fentanyl and Tranq. Some people don't want to live but they don't want to kill their self, so they unconsciously seek death in other ways.
I've never smoked in my life and have no intention of starting and I still want these. XD
Reminds me of the full-color photos on Canadian cigs that show all kinds of medical yuck (gangrene, et al) that come from smoking. My friends were nonplussed and smoked them anyway.
I personally think the horrible pictures of what can happen if you smoke that are mandatory on packaging where I live are better
I’ll buy them, but only for the packages. The cigarettes go In the fire
On the contrary, I know smokers who would love this packaging and would probably go out of their way to get it
I smoked a pack and a half a day for over 18 years. Even the packaging with the pictures of the diseased lungs didn’t stop my addiction. These are still cool, however!
They want cigarette smokers to but these packs, so how is that discouraging smoking?
I'd willingly buy this! I actually had a clamshell style one, and the only thing it did was keep strangers from asking me for a smoke.
I’m a smoker and this won’t make me quit but. Igor make me switch brands if these were available by me
I quit smoking in 2019, however if I still smoked, I would have one these to carry my smokes around, it really cool

It’s Not Often That I Literally Stop And Stare In Awe At A Product In The Supermarket
Barila have replaced the plastic film bags with beautiful new plastic free cartons.
The first thing to point out is that this new carton format immediately creates a unique point of difference from what is a ‘bag heavy’ section. A great way to stand out from the competition.
This new, large canvas have given them the perfect opportunity to focus on simplicity and elegance, which they’ve done to great effect.
The retro design is a nod towards 60’s café culture and utilises simplistic, retro illustration to make up for the lack of window.
The whole design is beautifully balanced with oodles of negative space to draw the eye into the centre of the pack. A moment of calm on a very, very busy fixture,
Even the SRP nestles the on-pack communication, snuggly.
It’s a fantastic lesson in “less is more“. A simple clutter free approach will always grab consumers attention.

Can Anyone Point Me In The Direction Of Finding This Type Of Beverage Packaging?
My first factory job (1976) was in a box factory. We designed and manufactured hundreds of styles of packaging. Sadly, it went out of style and became obsolete, until the last 10 or so years. Now folks are "inventing" styles of packaging that we used 50 years ago. "What's old is new" I guess.
Reusable Coffee And Tea Filter Packaging I Developed For A Client
Pretty Clever
Stihl (Chainsaws etc) now use hay as stuffing when they send out products in cartons. Had my chainsaw delivered and the box was stuffed with hay, and a card asking how I like the filler material. I responded with "I love it, very eco friendly and compostable. But my horses love it even more, and will compost it for me."
Anyone remembers the gamecube ? It was its own packaging with its handle to bring to your friend's home it was neat

Nice but I wish they'd concentrate on designing a package that wasn't embossed in bullet proof plastic and requires a chain saw to open.
This will change when people stop trying to steal products in siad packaging ... so I guess it will never change.
