Collate
Packaging design by Mucho for "Vermut de luna", a traditonal aperitive beverage that bases its formula on the moon cycle (Lunar Face). The drink is bottled on the first night of the crescent moon. As Mucho explain: 'We decided to turn this idea into a design element by silkscreening this cycle in silver and the crescent moon in gold, thus placing the name underneath the golden moon. All the secondary information is aligned along the cycle of the moon' [wearemucho.com]

ENSAIMADART by Lo Siento
The EnsaimadArt project has a charitable initiative that asked for the design of the round label (270mm in diameter) attached to the iconic octagonal boxes containing Majorca’s most famous pastry – the ensaimada (Ensaïmada). Hence, EnsaimadArt. The ensaimada is a traditional spiral-shaped pastry that is intrinsically part of the island’s nature. Thousands of tourists and visitors will leave the island at the end of their holidays with one, two or more of these unmistakeable boxes. Lo Siento designed a special packaging label design made entirely out of paper for the “Ensaimadas”: The spiral-shaped pastry typical of Mallorca. This project was commisioned by Ensaimadart for the 50th anniversary of the Amadip.Esment association.

Origami in Packaging - Packaging InsiderPackaging Insider
Some packaging ideas/designs are as creative and innovative as they can be. This one involving Origami strikes as both! As a bag of tea that transforms into something beautiful as it is steeped, we’d say this just about breaks the mold. By striving for something more out of a product that has already been defined with purpose to be, rather plain yet functional; this concept turns the conventional bag of tea into a visual treat that not only contributes to one’s imagination, purification, while evoking serenity and the healing properties of it’s herbs. All the great things we seek tea out for. Traditionally, Origami was an art form originating in Japan.
