We don’t always see packages displayed with so much glamor. Enjoy…

PackageRepublic.com: Passion for Packaging Innovation
Adaptive behavior
When consumers cannot reclose packages that are meant to be just openable, but not reclosable, they have adaptive behavior for this desired functionality that the package does not deliver. Here is a good example.

Miller Lite redesigns its longneck bottle
Last year we covered Miller’s silly Miller Punch Top™ can design, and we had little good to say.
After that unfortunate venture to the package utility and functionality side, Miller decided to stick with just branding design. They hired 4Sight design agency to redesign their Miller Lite bottle for the first time in 40 years.
The change is very much cosmetic, and branding related.
Bootnote: 4Sight was also responsible for the awesome Heinz dual function package.

This is what packaging innovation looks like
Packaging innovation is about understanding consumer needs and designing packages which address those needs. Companies often go in the branding direction ignoring package functionality needs. Windex Touchup is a great example of an innovative package that delivers tangible consumer value. Way to go SC Johnson.

The return of adult straw
After positioning straws for children for the past decades, packaging industry as well as brands are starting to embrace the straw again as an adult drink-from solution.
Just to throw in a healthy dose of autheticity, straws that we are seeing being used in commercials seem to be the old barber-pole / helix designs that resemble the wax coated kind of yesteryear, than today’s tubex plastic varieties.
All we can say at PackageRepublic.com is, it is about time.

Coca-Cola’s offensive bottle cap
As reported by ABC News and Metro Calgary, the Loates family in Alberta, Canada, purchased a bottle of Vitaminwater recently only to find under the cap the words “YOU RETARD.” To make matters worse, a member of the Loates family has cerebral palsy and autism.
Coca-Cola has since apologized for the mishap.
We have spoken to the family to offer our sincerest apologies and to explain the production process to them. This is certainly not an excuse in any way for what has occurred. We wanted them to know that this was in no way intentional and was a mistake on our part during the review process. We also wanted to share that the promotion has since been cancelled and we are no longer producing bottles with those caps.
