Eco-Friendly Marijuana Packaging

July 7th, 2009 by Erin

There’s nothing I love more than when two of my favorite things come together, like Base Design shows us with their concept joint packaging design by recycling disposable containers, painting them white, and adding the iconic black pot leaf sticker.

  • Altoids containers
  • film canisters
  • glass cases
  • R/X pill containers

Tom Greenwood of Base says:

There’s a whole ritual and tactile experience that goes with smoking, and we didn’t want to detract from that. [...] Nobody owns marijuana, man.

The intent of the design is to send a “green” message while understanding that everyone rolls differently; hence the various shapes and sizes of containers.

    I’m sure the paint is probably a non toxic blend from Crayola that even our little ones could swallow and be just fine. Our herbs will be A. O. K.

    I thought this would be about packaging made from hemp/marijuana.
    :(

    another interesting facet is the slacker vibe. you know, pot head = lazy.
    so they take mass produced containers from other companies, slap a coat of
    ubiquitous white on and stamp it with an even more ubiquitous label—then call it done. pure genius, purely economical.
