Packing with shelf life indicator

Banka

The concept by graphic designer and artist Alexander Cherkasov aims to preserve the shelf life of pickles, tomatoes or cabbage, for example, and to draw the consumer’s attention to a harmful development of the product by means of a discolored reaction surface. Once the deterioration of the food has occurred, the surface of the bag turns gray and disposal is inevitable. In addition, the airtight packaging allows for a longer shelf life, space-saving storage and reuse. The concept provides for the packaging material to be produced ecologically in order to reduce energy consumption compared to energy-intensive glass production.
