Third year IDEA School of Design student Lia McMillan's project – an environmentally sensitive package for chocolates – was recently featured on Lovely Package. Lovely Package curates the very best packaging design.

“The project was to create an environmentally sensitive package for a box of chocolates.

Olmec Chocolates differentiate themselves by showcasing their raw, organic aesthetic. The box itself is made of 100% recyclable material. The chocolates are stacked on top one another and separated by a single strip of wax paper, eliminating the usual plastic mould and individual wax paper cups. The name of each chocolate is printed on the inside the box and coincides with the chocolate itself, as apposed to a more traditional legend that is typically printed on a separate piece of paper. The belly band is also made of recyclable material, and is held together by a wax seal.”
