Cow-like packaging design for soy milk - Core77
Soy Mamelle's container, designed by Russian creative agency Kian, is meant to drive home the point that the soy-based product is milk-like.

Creating XPI Installer Modules - MDC
by m.meixide
Mozilla has introduced major changes to the way that themes and all the other parts of the UI are packaged. This new packaging scheme is called XPI (pronounced "zippy"), and interacts with XPInstall. A XPI file typically contains the resources to be installed (in this case the barley.jar we want to have installed in the Mozilla/bin/chrome/ directory) and an install script that guides the installation process.
