Colombian Milk

This article originally appeared as a guest post on the Beach Package Design blog – Box Vox – during my trip to Colombia, South America in 2009.

Packaging from my recent trip to Colombia. These are bags of milk, sold room temperature without need for refrigeration. The milk is packaged at a very high temperature, thus killing any microbiological agents. This eliminates the need for coolers in the store, refrigerated trucks to ship, and allows the milk to be kept for several weeks if unopened. Not exactly stackable or easily poured from.

I like the splash of milk with the cow shape formed from the negative space.
