Idea 1 - cartons/tetra packs
Here are some rough sketches of an idea to use tetra packs to hold paint. The packs are triangular shaped so packs or four can be held together by a recyclable cardboard sleeve. The design is minimal, using as less resources as possible - only gives important information and examples of colour in vegetable ink.
Tetra packs - light weight, easy portability, space saving - fewer trucks required to ship larger volumes of products.
The problem with this type of packaging is that it is hard to recycle, due to the many layers of different materials used to make the pack -

Idea 2 - Tins
Strong, durable, and could be reusable/refillable/recycled.
Plain tin with label tied on with rope or string - avoids use of glue.
Plain tin with sleeve over the top. Sleeve has minimal design, with title, necessary information and colour example. On the flipped side of the sleeve is an aesthetic pattern, that can be put back onto the tin so it can be used as something else - plant pot or storage for example.
People who buy a lot of paint may not want a large collection of these decorative tins building up, so I also came up with an idea of paint sets - Plain tins packaged in a cardboard box. Box would contain info and colour examples in vegetable ink, and would not require glue.
More tin designs, and possible ideas for bottle designs. Plastic can be lightweight and transparent, so the paint is easily viewed. It can also be recycled, and be made like the PlantBottle of Coca-Cola.
