Directed by the duo of Philip Sanson and Olly Williams (Diamond Dogs), “The Black Hole” first premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year.

The plastic potato-chip bag ensures only one thing: the inevitable and systematic demolition of each formerly full-bodied and delicious chip contained in its flimsy walls. It has long needed a makeover, and now, thanks to Petar Pavlov, we at least have a conceptual idea of what the future could be. Besides its obvious product protection capabilities, Pavlov’s model also utilizes a packaging structure that allows the box to close after opening. The chip clip has just been rendered obsolete! The third positive is environmental in nature. It seems that biodegradable cardboard could be used in lieu of whatever-the-hell chip bags are currently made of. An environmentally friendly, product protecting, freshness ensuring packaging concept? Why hasn’t this thing been made? Check out a blank DIY version available for download after the jump.
