The holiday packaging begins! This project, the Askinosie Chocolate's Peppermint Bark Box, was designed and sent in by Kristina Sacci, a freelance designer in Hoboken NJ:
"The design is wood-burned on. The chocolate bark is "hoof-crafted" in small batches and is ridiculously good!"

Ecolean is a new packaging alternative dubbed as "A Lighter Approach to Packaging".
"Lightweight packaging is our answer to the demands of the liquid food industry and consumers asking for modern and clever packages. By using a minimal amount of raw material we create a lightweight package which combines low environmental impact with consumer convenience. Saving resources is saving the environment. That is why lightweight packaging has become a heavyweight argument.
The unique, pitcher-looking design has a generous face for consumer communication. It has a perfect surface for really high-quality print. Colours and sharpness will do justice to any communicative intention and will certainly draw the attention of a fast moving consumer.
Saving resources is no longer just a matter of looking at the waste end of a package life cycle. Equally important are the resources used at its beginning.
Ecolean uses less raw material from the start. Our packaging material is made from a thin plastic film, part plastic (PE and PP) and part chalk (40% by weight), one of nature’s own material. That adds up to a truly lightweight package that takes less energy to produce.
Low waste volumes also save considerable resources in the waste handling process. Light and thin as the packaging is, you will find resource-saving arguments for it throughout the whole product life cycle."
Ecolean products are currently sold in over 30 countries around the world, not yet here in the United States, but lets hope it makes its way here soon.

Yes, you read that right. This packaging was made out of dyed snail excrements, and it is designed to hold cooked snails. Thats a little strange right? Here is what product designer Manuel Jouvin has to say about it:
"During my researches, I pointed out that colored paper has an influence on color snail excrements. In partnership with Sylvie Pierru, a snailfarmer in Picardie (France), we created packagings made of snail excrements and destinated to cooked snails. They are envisaged in the molding cellulose process by replacing recyclable paper by snail dejections."
More images of this, um, interesting project, and the process, after the jump.

"Longs' Horseradish is a small family owned horseradish company from Pennsylvania. We made these as a part of our contribution to the 2009 One Show Collage Competition. The basic idea is to bring back the old method of crafting horseradish that once upon a time gave horseradish its name. The campaign won 2 gold pencils and one silver."
