Inspired from the Mayan religion, Kab Mayan Honey by Ariella Mostkoff combines fold remedies involving honey as the main ingredient with the powers of Mayan gods to heal seasonal ailments. In accordance with the Mayan calendar, the package is divided into wet (fall and spring) and dry (summer and winter) seasons and each honey bottle corresponds to a different animal representation of a Mayan deity. The perforated panels contain information and are intended to be saved.

Seasonal packaging for compact fluorescent Lux light bulbs by Lindsey Cull highlights the energy conscious aspect of these bulbs. The set is meant to be changed each season, providing less wattage for naturally brighter months and encourages the user to embrace daylight. These boxes are also marked with paid postage in order to be sent back to be recycled by those who can handle the mercury content in these bulbs.

The overall style of Kama packaging by Sara Nicely communicates sexiness, sensuality and boldness. Kama Rice, Tea, and Incense are high-end gourmet products infused with aphrodisiacs from the most obscure corners of India. These products are meant to have the ability to instill feelings of passion, happiness, and sexual desire.

Just as henna dyes the skin, tea dyes water, incense dyes the air, and rice dyes the stomach. Stephanie Davlantes creates visual between the packages via the pattern, cardboard stock, and colored bands. The red tea band is representative of the paint married Indian women apply to their foreheads. The yellow incense band is representative of the sun towards which the smoke of incense rises. The green rice band is representative of the earth and agriculture.
