Cooloyster Oyster Packaging
Many people like oysters, but find them difficult to open. With this biodegradable take-away packaging, fresh oysters can be opened at the point of sale and easily taken home for consumption.
Cooloyster asked me to design a packaging concept to be able to sell opened oysters. The package had to keep the oysters cool and fresh, be hygienic and easy to transport, and end up in the refrigerator without leaking; ready for consumption.
This oyster packaging design consists of a base with a cooling ring and a lid, which can be vacuum packed for take-away. The lid holds six oysters and can be used at home as a plate to serve the oysters. The undulating design refers to the shapes in the sand along the sea coast.
The packaging is stackable and made of Bagasse, an eco-friendly material based on sugar cane fibres. The material is 100% biodegradable and very appropriate for food packaging.
