An illustration of the sides, front, and back of a 1/2 gallon cardboard milk carton design that looks hand drawn. The left side has a small cow tucked under the flab saying thanks for reusing. In a box all-caps text reads REUSE & WIN: Create anything you like with our packages: a chopping board, a pen holder, a wallet, and so on. Our exclusive gifts will be delivered to the winners. Underneath is a wavy line and then an illustration labelled How to Make a Chopping Board. The first step is open & wash, with an illustration of an open carton tucked under a water faucet. An arrow points to the second step - cut. Scissors cut down one side of the carton. An arrow points to the third step - complete. The unfolded carton lays flat. The front side of the carton reads Lazy Cow in big, bold, capitalized bubble text. Underneath it reads Yummy Milk and there's an illustration of a cow posing on its side propped up on its elbow and a knee bent up. It's on a hill with a bird flying above and three indications of grass. At the bottom are six small boxes identifying the box as recyclable, equal to 8 cups, and local to Utah. There's also a QR code and two boxes labelled competition. At the top the carton says it's best by Feb 11. The back has the same title and subtitle, and the same small boxes. Across the central space three birds fly left, and at the top of the fold five other birds in a line fly left. At the bottom small text reads "How many birds on this bottle? Answer on the bottom." The right side has the same logo, a nutrition label, and a wavy line bisecting the side. Underneath it has a logo for milkhaus and handwritten text that says "Milkhaus is a new local small business that focuses on providing people with fresh milk from the area. We hope to bridge the gap between the farm and people by collaborating with local farmers and producers."
