This clever cardboard olive oil package was developed for The Unrefined Olive by Montreal's Small Monsters. The initial aim of the project was to create giftable boxes to contain four of the bottles, which ranged in size from about 150 mL all the way up to 750 mL. However, with some experimentation, the designers developed a unique, triangular shape that is adaptable, stackable, eco-friendly and reusable.
When placed flat, the triangular design has a form that's almost tent-like, since its two angled sides lead up to the perfect place for handles. The handles include a latching mechanism that keeps the bottle safely in place, which can be opened up. Surprisingly, there's a lot of room inside and the olive oil packaging presents itself quite nicely.
