Hangerpak

This is what I call a packaging that kills 2 birds with one stone - It is a box and also acts as a hanger! Concept cleverly thought of by Steve Haslip, a graphic designer from Wivelsfield Green, England.

"The concept was fairly simple: I buy t-shirts online and they always come wrinkled and I always run out of coat-hangers. So I designed a sustainable, reusable way to send and keep your t-shirts. As you open the package you create a coat hanger. The packaging could be made from recycled material whether it is card or plastic and the only waste is the green tear-away tab. The t-shirt seen here is from Threadless.
This project won a FIRST prize in the D&AD Student Awards 2007 category 'What else do you do?'."

That is totally awesome. I hope he patents it and makes buckets of money. Perfect for Threadless too.

This is great aside from the fact that cardboard smells terrible after a few days.

Terrific concept! Steve literally thinks "outside the box" on this one. The best way to entice people to keep packaging is to provide an incentive. This idea reminds me of a couple other posts I wrote on Honda's "Grow-a-brand" DM and Breeze Detergent's "Clean Me" DM (you can find these examples on my blog)
