on the japan theme

Sorry this is a bit dated, you've probably seen this before (but just in case!) this has to be one of my favourite packaging designs, so simple, so well executed. Banana juice - Designed by product designer Naoto Fukasawa.

No, I'd never seen this before, and it totally made my day :)

So brilliantly done. I've yet to see any on the shelves in Japan yet though.

[Matias]

Amazing!

I can't imagine how many bananas you need to squeeze to get enough juice to fill the package. Sure, bananas are damp, but not really juicy. Cool packaging though.....

STUMBLED!

I have never seen this one before. Very innovative.

I've never seen this before. Awesome design!

[matiz]

That is just..... PERFECT! :D

Amazing packaging design, it's so simple - only the Japanese could pull something like this off so perfectly. I wonder what kind of website you would design for that...

This product and others are featured in the book Designing Design by Kenya Hara. Well worth the read - see the amazon.co.uk review it says it all.

I'm late to the party (coming here from the Tropicana box discussion (http://blog.printmag.com/dailyheller/CommentView,guid,068e8b2f-4b17-4487-90ae-7a8ef2afb244.aspx). I looked at the photo that Salih Kucukaga (first commenter) referenced and it's actually banana olé (so the "juiciness" is actually milk).

This is really to-the-point-design! Nothing more to say! Beats nearly everything i ever saw in package design. Fantastic, brilliant, amazing! :-D

But: why don't they offer those packages in Europe? :-(
