Packaging Innovation

I've often wondered why toothpaste tubes are the size they are. Why not a a massive toothpaste box in the bathroom that will last you a year? Same with those face wash tubes: why not have your face wash in a box-like dispenser that will save you from making numerous trips to the store ? And, have you ever wondered why cat food tins are so small? Your cat eats the stuff every day, so why not have a big gallon tin of the stuff? The same is true with dental floss: tiny, tiny packaging. Yes, companies are very innovative with packaging these days.

Packaging innovation comes in many sizes

The Daily Mail has an interesting article today on some of the manufacturers' and supermarkets' latest packaging antics.
