Bold Blossoming Packaging

The Origin Seed Envelopes Grow Into Wildflowers When Planted

— January 3, 2012 — Eco
Trina M'lot, a design student attending the Vancouver Island University, created this sweet technicolor and functional packaging for the fictional organic company Origin Seed. Targeting avid home gardeners with an eco-focused conscience, the Origin Seed packaging not only carries items bound for the soil, it too is garden-worthy.

The organic seeds come packaged in a brightly colored pouch fixed to an adorable wooden spike embossed with the name of the crop as well as the company. Once the seeds have been deposited in the soil, the wooden stake can be used as a marker for the crop and the both the envelope and instructions can be planted and will eventually result in an impressive bouquet of wildflowers.

Eye catching, resourceful and eco-friendly, the Origin Seed packaging is nothing short of genius.
