eco-packaging…
If you find yourself in the London area, I recommend a visit to Planet Organic either for the food or a little product design browsing (especially if the inner designer in you thinks grocery stores are museums.)

packaging by hand survives…
Michael Twyman's lectures are back in session. This week he displayed an abundant collection of packaging dating from the 18th century. Many of the packages are produced by hand and are reused as storage boxes surpassing their original shelf life. Also, punches created during the production of metal type were stored in such boxes of the time. My personal favorite is featured below.
