SAND PACKAGING
A sustainable packaging made from sand allowing one to ‘discover’ the gift for a unique experience.
For a unique and sustainable experience of ‘discovering’ the gift, the sandmade packaging slowly crumbles back to dust to be disposed directly back to the environment, leaving no waste. The production of the packaging involves handmade casting. Depending on the magnitude of the pressure applied to the cast, temperature at which the package is dried, and the percentage of added materials to the sand, the longevity and the durability of the packaging varies. The package can last for a long period of time, and can be used to create packaging for luxurious or precious gifts as well.
