<p>The packaging for this milk carton is not only visually enticing, it is also functional. The diagrams and data visualisations give important and useful information. The four sides are utlised to add easy and quick nutritional facts, ingredients and amounts per serving etc. The simple tonal use of color is both functional adds a sense of retro sci-fi inspiration. If we saw this sort of carton in our New Zealand supermarkets, I bet we would gravitate towards them.</p>

<p>These products are designed to create awareness of water consumption. The production process the products go through ensure the natural resources used are treated responsibly. The ingredients they use, the way they are packaged and their manufacturing are all sustainably aware. People are encouraged to save water when using the products. The reminder is on the front of the packaging and in the name. A simple and effective no-frills message illustrated boldly in black and white.</p>

The sustainability is not only found in the materials used but also in the limited edition runs of the shirts.
