Marian Čižnár’s package attracted us mostly by its easy transformation into a new product.

Valerie Kropáčová’s work with materials is the main feature – in particular – baking paper. The baking paper forms the bottom part of the package and it is obvious that is used in the right place.

The package also includes a small recipe card, which also serves as package strengthening.

The packaging is based on a very simple and playful idea, which attracted the jury immediately. The graphics are minimalist and convincing at the same time.

The seeds are pressed directly into the paper with the addition of natural fertilizers. The package decomposes in the soil and does not develop any excess material. This work with its simple and clear graphics, helps to grow more plants.
