The possibilities of cardboard boxes wavy are not infinite, but almost. To its enormous efficiency to transport objects inside safely, and its ease to be recycled, it joins its versatility to be used over and over again. You just need imagination to give second and third opportunities to cardboard boxes. In this blog we have echoed many of them.
Today we want to bring here the extraordinary initiative that Samsung has launched. From now on cardboard boxes in which they carry their television sets may be reused as cat houses, covers or as shelves for small objects. And they include an assembly guide.
Televisions and, therefore, the boxes in which they arrive at homes, are large. So far it has been customary to see cardboard boxes lying on the street or, at best, next to the paper container. We think it is a very good idea that this important brand has launched this initiative.
Samsung has announced that its high-end Lifestyle televisions will now come in what it calls “eco-packaging”, as part of an initiative to reduce its environmental impact. Lifestyle televisions include several models, such as the Frame (which hangs on the wall and can display famous paintings when switched off) and the Serif (conceived as a work of art). It is therefore no surprise that these exclusive appliances are protected by exclusive cardboard boxes.
The idea is that once you've removed the device from the box, we can use it to create other household items. The packaging in question is manufactured with corrugated cardboard and contains a line of stitches to guide your cutting and folding, for which a mounting guide is included.
The objects/furniture that Samsung has created are ideal. In addition, their installation is fun and entertaining. We can always paint or line the boxes to our liking if we don't want the brand to be seen.
As part of the implementation of the new ecological packaging, Samsung and the British magazine DezeenThey've called a global design contest. Both companies will award the most exclusive and practical designs and use them in their eco-packaging manual.
A great initiative that would not be bad if it was “copied” by other brands.
