Dark Choco Milk is a product with a [minimalist and clean branding design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Rithms-Enlite). Most milk comes in cartons, but this product has been placed in glass bottles, then wrapped in a cardboard container for easy transport.

Simple illustrations were also placed on the front of the bottles for a touch of class, allowing the bottles to look great even when sitting on a countertop. Milk is an area where [re-branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thoughtful-packaging) is not done that often, so it's good to see such an [eco-friendly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alter-eco-advent-calendar) leap into re-thinking about the presentation of this product. For anyone who is a fan of milk chocolate but tired of the conventional look, Dark Choco Milk will not only taste delicious, but look great until it's finally consumed!

The design for this was completed by Mitsuko Sato of Canada.
