Hello everyone,
I’m working on a little project and could really use your collective creativity and practical thinking.
I’m preparing test strips of my various fruit leathers (different flavors, ingredients, textures) and I’m looking for a simple, elegant, and reusable way to present them so they stay fresh, are easy to access, and look inviting.
The challenge:
- The strips can be slightly sticky, so plain paper doesn’t work well.
- Small resealable bags are fiddly to fill, open, and retrieve samples from.
- I’d like something that feels tactile, intentional, and easy to handle.
Inspiration / dream idea:
Something between a stamp album, a plastic-sleeved trading card sheet, an Advent calendar, and a flat monthly pill organizer — where each sample has its own protected slot, can be labeled, and is easily removable without mess.
What I’m asking:
Have you seen or used a system like this?
Do you have ideas for materials (food-safe sleeves, reusable pouches, thin containers)?
Maybe you’ve crafted something similar for spices, tea samples, seed swaps, or art supplies?
Even wild or simple ideas are welcome — sometimes the best solutions come from outside the expected box!
This could be a fun little collaboration — if anyone feels inspired to brainstorm, sketch, or prototype together, I’m totally open.
Thanks in advance for any sparks of inspiration!
