Sustainable Shoebox Designs

The Conceptual 'Standbox' Shoebox Protects, Carries and Displays Shoes

The conceptual 'Standbox' shoebox has been designed by Elif Bulut as a new take on shoe packaging that would provide a more sustainable experience for retailers and consumers alike to appreciate. The shoebox maintains a compact design that features minimal negative space inside to help manufacturers ship out more product in less space. Upon arrival at the store, the box can be opened to put the footwear on display for shoppers to have a look at before giving it a try and easily accessing the second shoe for a better try-on experience with minimal need for assistance.

The conceptual 'Standbox' shoebox is a fresh take on the conventional packaging design and also eliminates the need for an additional bag thanks to a slide-through paper handle.
