ReLeaf: By Design
Eco Conscious Cannabis Packaging
ReLeaf is an innovative project that explores the dnamic interseciton of sustainability and functionality in cannabis packaging. This project explores the urgent need for environmentally responsible solutions in an industry often reliant on single-use plastic.
Project Timeline
A structured production schedule over 9–10 weeks will develop a sustainable cannabis packaging product. The first weeks focus on concept, research, and design. By Week 5, physical prototypes will be tested. Weeks 6–8 finalize prototypes and prep the presentation. The final two weeks complete the research paper and present the project on the Digital Commons.
Material Selection
Paperboard Tube​:
The selection of a kraft paperboard tube provides a beneficial packaging solution, emphasizing recyclability and a reduced environmental footprint.
Ultraviolet Glass:
Ultraviolet glass offers distinct advantages for cannabis storage, effectively filtering out harmful light wavelengths while allowing beneficial rays to penetrate the product.
Design Inspiration
Research into current packaging trends reveals a diverse range of design approaches. This project aims to strike a balance with a distinct color palette for each package while maintaining a cohesive, refined design. It will prioritize clarity, functionality, and compliance with industry regulations.
Concept Development: Initial Designs
​The wavy logo pattern embodies the interconnectedness of the natural life cycle—growth and renewal—emphasizing that cannabis packaging should contribute positively to the environment. The logo represents this idea as a leaf, reinforcing that sustainability and the product should work in harmony. Integrating these elements establishes a design direction that protects the product and supports what enables its growth.
