Some implementation questions:
How do you ensure that they get properly sterilized/cleaned after every use?
How many years of life are you aiming at? What is your system for finding containers at the end of their life that may soon fail?
What weights are you aiming for. What strength are you aiming for. What about padding?
What price point are you aiming at for each container?
How easily removable is the ink? What happens if the ink gets removed in transit? Is the store allowed to re-ink that, or are they required to ship the package as damaged back to the manufacturer.
How do you ensure that the package has not been tampered with?
Given that this will result in extra bulk and weight compared to a custom designed package, (which we have now), how confident are you that this would end up being carbon neutral?
