Universal Packaging System




Source.

"It seems a box is always too big or small so designer Patrick Sung came up with flat sheets of recyclable corrugated cardboard called the Universal Packaging System or UPACKS. The patterns make it easy to fold and conform to almost any shape while maintaining structural rigidity and protecting the contents. Love the idea of saving on packaging but will this actually work? I suspect each sheet would have to be sufficiently padded; not too thick, not too thin, but just right said Goldilocks."

I really like the idea of a piece of packaging like this, used for mailing out products. I think that it's brilliant and completely utilizes the shape of the product, meaning no more boxes padded out with paper so that the product won't roll around. Wasted space adds a lot to the carbon footprint of a company so a company like Amazon would really benefit from this.
