Can Packaging Make a Product Saleable?



Justin Gignac challenged the theory that package design wasn't important by attempting to create an appealing package for "something that absolutely nobody in their right mind would ever want to buy.” Garbage.

I think Gignac proved his point with his New York City Garbage cubes which have sold for upwards of $100 and he has sold over 1000 of his artfully arranged cubes of selected trash.

Each sealed box comes signed, numbered and tagged as “Garbage of New York City”. A small sticker records the date the trash was collected for the cube.

Listen to the full story at NPR.org.

art packaging is

reusable bubble wrap pouch that features your choice of openings on either the short or long side. The Bubble bag art pouch opens easily with a flap, or you have the added option of adding a Velcro® fastener for even greater protection.
