The project is about making a sustainable packaging from a cottage product from respective country for its origin. And for this project I’m making a packaging for fertilizer, fertilizer is any organic or inorganic material of natural or synthetic origin that is added to a soil to supply one or more plant nutrients essential to the growth of plants, and I specified my product for Hibiscus’ Fertilizer, Hibiscus is the most famous exotic flower originally from Malaysia.
Basically the design itself all made from recycled materials or natural, the design resembles a rectangular-shaped-box with the wood die-cut of Hibiscus flower in front of it tied with a string along with the small tag written the product’s name and also the company / manufacturer, the front side is slide-able, it must be slide upward to see the product inside of it. Yes, the product or the fertilizer is inside of the box, it’s located inside of a small chemical tube, the tube resemble a chemical elements for the design and an explanation that that the fertilizer is one of a chemical product. The back of the Design is the instruction of using the product and also the packaging, and also the contact information of the company.
The packaging can be re-used as a flower pot merely for decoration purpose, either imitation flower or the real one. The top of the packaging got the cork on it, this cork can be taken out by pulling it, and then you will have a hole on it that way we can put the imitation flower from that hole.
But if we want to use it as a real flower pot, we must get some moisturized soil for it. The product include a free hibiscus seeds inside of it, so we can demonstrate it immediately , all we have to do is find a soil for it. The die-cut in front of it help the soil to keep humid and moisturized and make sure that the water won’t suspended at the bottom of the packaging, the cork’s hole inside the packaging also help the water circulation and the soil in bay. So, there you are you have a beautiful flower pot.
The design also comes with a Leaflet and the poster, the Leaflet basically similar to the packaging’s information, it’s just more detailed and unique pictogram included for easier understanding. The back of the leaflet got the health facts about Hibiscus flower, this one is just for general knowledge.
The poster main objective is to promote and advertise the product, I photograph it and but some information there. The composition of the poster is the packaging surrounded by several of different type of hibiscus, and the tube located in front of the box and it took place at a grass field to give the relax and natural feeling of the design.
