Packaging nets&tests

[A] 3.  What sort of product do you think could use a package like this? Do you think the item would fit straight off or would it need extra padding maybe?

     The products that could fit in the package varies from bottles to food. Depending on the product (shape) it would/would not need an extra padding. For example if it would be a bottle, it would need a padding so it would keep it straight or not falling, when it comes to transporting it.

4. Do you think that you could improve on this net design? If “yes” then explain in what way[s].
I don't think it would need improvement.

[B]







1.   1.Does your chosen package use glue to keep it together? If “yes” then does it use it in abundance or in a minimal way? Can you suggest a way that [if glued] this pack might be put together without glue and using ‘locking’ tabs instead? Please note down your thoughts.  
      
        The package picked is using minimal glue, just to hold it. It could be done using just cut outs, but it would involve more material, changing the net and maybe harder to assemble. 
   



2.What sort of material is your chosen package made from – card, plastic etc? Is this material ‘virgin’ stock or is it re-used in some way or marked as ‘environmentally friendly’ in some way? Do you think it’s an effective material.


The package is made out of recycled cardboard, at the same time looking "environmentally friendly" but at the same time effective, eye catching with the design that goes on it. Cardboard is one of the most usable material in packaging. It is effective as long as it comes with nice graphics on it.
