these look a lot like the lightbulb packaging in 80s turkey actually. i’d buy them just for the nostalgic colors and material but the clever box design really sells it for me.

Does anyone know what PR means/is? Whatever.
I recycle my toilet paper. Does that make me an environmentalist or a dirty SOB?

@PinballLes, These designs don’t look too complex to me. Much better than GE’s current environmentally nasty PVC plastic CFL packaging.

surely if everyone started sending their lightbulbs back the increase on carbon emissions from that would outweigh the recycling benefits.

Kinda reminds me of this http://packagingworld.blogspot.com/2009/02/tofu-frugal-packaging.html sounds like a nice idea but making glass jars with complicated lids for such small servings of tofu doesn’t seem very “frugal”

I’m a bit dubious at how environmentally friendly these boxes would actually be. It looks like fairly complex packaging for a light bulb. This packaging would require re-tooling of machinery and involve additional processes to make the box. Aside from the environment, the additional processes would result in a box that is more expensive to produce, which would be passed onto the consumer in the price of the product.

Where I live light bulbs already come in cardboard boxes, a simple rectangular box. Surely it would be more environmentally friendly to have a box that is a simple shape to manufacture and simply use recycled cardboard?

On the positive side, I do think the actually graphic design of the box looks cool.
