Shaken Sugar Cube Packaging

The 'Cube Sugar' Box Tilts to Dispense One Piece At a Time

— July 15, 2016 — Lifestyle
The sugar cube packaging design of the 'Cube Sugar' is specially engineered to tackle the issue of releasing one cube at a time for individual use, rather than disrupting the entire stacked contents. The box comes with an expandable front feature that adds space within the box so that the cubes can be shaken, and therefore easily to pull out.

Sugar cubes are ideal for portioning, as they come pre-measured into serving sizes that are easy to add to beverages. While the cubic size is ideal for this purpose, they often come tightly stacked inside fitted packaging and are hard to pull apart. The 'Cube Sugar' box addresses this issue with an expanded billow flap that adds space. Consumers can then shake the box to release the cubes from formation and easily pull them out one at a time.
