Funny, dangerous and inconvenient: 12 photos of bad packaging design

Reddit often posts photos of poor design for all kinds of products and advertisements. Failed packaging is also not uncommon. We selected 12 striking examples.

1. The barcode is located right on the fold of the packaging, making it almost impossible to scan.

2. The model from the sock pack doesn't wear socks.

3. Why did the manufacturer take a normal photo for the small image on the box, but didn’t even try for the main picture?

4. There are too many problems with this picture.

5. A fragrance made from soy wax with essential oils, the packaging of which looks like a bag of gummies.

6. The manufacturer wanted to note that one blade now lasts 2 times longer, and for some reason the designer decided to indicate this with asterisks.

7. This is a cheese slicer, but you can't tell from the illustration on the package.

8. One bottle contains dishwashing detergent and the other bottle contains toilet cleaner. And yes, the author of the photo wanted to buy two packs of dishwashing liquid, but someone put toilet cleaner on the same shelf.

9. A candle in a plastic glass that looks like glass (but melts).

10. On the chocolate box, children are asked to go through a maze to get to their favorite superhero. But only Superman fans will be able to do this.

11. The author writes that she bought this eyeshadow palette specifically for the “blue” shade in the center.

12. And it's just annoying. The package on the left contains 200 tablets and 40 “as a gift”, while the smaller package on the right contains 375 of the same tablets (this jar also cost less).
