Prototype multi-use shoe box
I decided to create my packaging for children's shoes. Because childrens feet grow so quickly I decided to include a measurement gauge to track growth.
The materials used are similar to standard shoe boxes as these tend to be made using recycled materials and are also fully recyclable and biodegradable.
I have used slots and folds to keep the box together. I have kept artwork to a minimum and used vegetable ink where required.
The box itself would be in it's natural state and colour. The measurements for the box are 20 x 15 cm and 10 cm depth.
Friendly Shoe Packaging
Get rid of those dull cardboard boxes packaging for your pair of shoes, and give the Sole by Cassie Pyle a warm welcome. The Sole is an eco-friendly packaging for your shoes that is made from 100% recycled materials or 100% organic cotton. In addition, the packaging has a super hip design that everyone can carry it anywhere they maybe. The sole also has a mesh material and drainage that allow the water to drain from the bag by the time that you wash them in the washing machine. This packaging allows every consumer not only help save the earth but they can now wash their shoes with comfort as well.

| Newton Running shoes have a fantastic eco-friendly new shoe box. |
I really like the idea of this and would have liked to have used this material in my own design, and use seeded paper for the card sleeve.
Timberland and Po-Zu join forces to take eco-conscious footwear a big step forward for Spring-Summer 2011.
Sharing a common vision of promoting the best practices in environmental design, Po-Zu and Timberland have produced a shoe made from biodegradable components, which are also recyclable.
The shoes are designed to be easily disassembled, so that by the end of their first life, can be sent back to Timberland where the parts are then recycled or reused (where possible) to make new pairs of shoes.
The men’s shoe collection endorses reverence to high quality materials and refined styling, while using the fewest possible materials.
The shoes come in a dual-branded compostable shoebox that doubles up as two seed trays.
A key feature of the collection is the dual-purpose style called Convertible that converts from a shoe to a boot by attaching an extension using an innovative lacing system.
