You don’t see this everyday. This playful, refreshing take on milk packaging was developed by Hattomonkey. We love how the “cow ears” are incorporated into the first image above.

We’ll be taking a few days off to partake in holiday festivities, so we’d like to leave you with this new product set to hit Whole Foods in January of 2009. As with Project 7’s bottled water, over 50% of the profits for each purchase will go towards 7 different humanitarian causes.

Full Tank Baby Fuel packages the freshest organic ingredients in a travel-ready squeeze pouch much like a “freezer pop”. The food pouches can conveniently fit in your pocket, purse, or diaper bag. The best part is, your little one won’t even need a spoon to eat it.

“Change the Score,” is Project 7’s basic mission, they strive to build a better world by creating a collective awareness and improvement in the seven areas of need. (Heal the Sick, Save the Earth, House the Homeless, Feed the Hungry, Help those in Need, Build the Future, Hope for Peace).

We believe there are others in the world who feel the same way they do but a lot of them just don’t know how. The company’s goal is to bring to market everyday products— the first of which is bottled water—that consumers can easily purchase in order to effect change across the seven areas of critical need. We are redefining the way people think about business and the products that are on their pantry shelf.

Bottled water has definitely gotten it’s fair share of negative publicity, and for good reason. We have to wonder if this product was the best choice for this initiative. We’d like to hear your thoughts on this.

The packaging does come with a sustainable edge to it, the bottles are 100% recyclable and made of Polyethylene Terephthalate. In addition each case is made of 100% recyclable material and printed with soy inks. Find out more on the packaging here.

So what’s up with the box being converted into a lamp?? Much like d:light here are some similar products by David Graas and Ciclus. Although these are very interesting ideas and a move forward in sustainable packaging, we have to wonder will consumers use the converted lamps or just toss it in the recycle bin. Your thoughts?

David Graas Light Box:
This lamp packaging comes as a box with all parts inside. You cut top and bottom yourself and then install. The cut out of the lamp shape functions as a graphical image.

Ciclus Light Box:
This box acts as a carrying case and a wine bottle. It has a wooden outer packaging that slides off to reveal the cardboard inside and the wine bottle. There is a “hidden compartment” below the bottle where the electrical components for the lamp are stored. This cardboard box comes off and transforms into the base of the lamp, upon which you place the wooden structure to become the lamp shade.

While scanning through the latest issue of The Source we came across this ad for the limited edition of 1800 Tequila. This example is by Dosa Kim, an artist from Atlanta, and one of nine artists chosen to add their signature style to this limited edition series.
