6:30PM July 22, 2011 | Kat Hannaford

Smart packaging is always appreciated, particularly when it’s for a product that we all use several times a day. Well, I hope you do anyway. Moving the paste-opening to the corner reduces packaging and increases paste usage. Very smart, Sang Min Yu and Wong Sang Lee. [Yanko via Technabob]
