Creative Review’s dissolving bag

Anyone buying their copy of Creative Review(CR) this month will find that the issue comes in a transparent bag bearing the words ‘THIS BAG DISSOLVES IN WATER’. And it does, all you need to do is put it into a hot water and watch it dissolve but cut off the sealing strip first – the glue is biodegradable but will not dissolve. After a couple of minutes, the printed area has broken down sufficiently for it to disintegrate when rubbed between finger and thumb. CR is working with Cyberpac on a range of experimental packaging solutions and is the first magazine anywhere to trial a new packaging material created by Cyberpac called harmless-dissolve. Check out the step-by-step walkthrough.
