adam paterson and santi tonsukha: 'growyourown' packaging

‘growyourown’ packaging by adam paterson and santi tonsukhaadam paterson and santi tonsukha, students of the royal college of art have sent us in images of their latest work ‘growyourown’, packaging for fruit and vegetable seeds for novice gardeners.

a single piece of 100% recycled corrugated cardboard is the package. it is easily re-sealable and can hold a variety of seeds, separately, in one pack, utilising the corrugated structure of the cardboard as natural dividers.

with previous seed packaging, distributing the seeds evenly from the pack was very hard. by using the corrugated structure the seeds are held in thin rows, which are the perfect ‘v’ shape to allow them to be very easily and controllably shaken out.

the new measuring tape style has embedded seeds with 10 cm markers on it, making it easy to simply pull out the desired length, tear it off and lay it in the ground.

the packaging for bulbs is intended to be reminiscent of brown paper sacks.
