The design imitates the texture, skin, and color of the fruit juices within the containers to create this clever and innovative packaging design.
The banana boxes have already made their way onto store shelves and we hope the others will too!

More Hello Kitty Nails
We posted a photo of some Hello Kitty nails back in June 07, and wow, that’s currently the more popular post with over 414,000 views! Here’s the photo again…
There’s also lots of comments asking for where you can get it done. Well, I’m not sure whether it will help since I think alot of the commenters are in North America, but you can get these Hello Kitty nails done in Hong Kong.
I saw them recently in a New Territories town Tai Po, in a small, local nail boutique. Which means they’re probably available all around Hong Kong, since beauty is pretty big there. Here’s a poster showing the nails – sorry for the fuzzy camera phone pic..
OneInchPunch is currently traveling around Hong Kong and East-Asia.

Yaoki Shochu Bottle Design that never gives up
The package design for Yaoki Japanese brand won two prestigious awards: LIA 2007 (Silver in “Alcoholic drinks”) and Red Dot Award 2007 (Communivation design/Packaging design).
“The name “Yaoki” is derived from a Japanese old proverb “Nana korobi yaoki“. It means “Stand up on the eighth attempt after falling seven times” and epitomises the spirit of “Never give up!” The special shape of the bottle reflects this concept.
Shaped like a roly-poly Daruma doll it will stand up again and again even if it almost falls over. The arita-yaki material is remarkable too: a porcelain made in one of the most famous potteries in the world.
