PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: During the research phase, we collected all competitive cubes in the market for study and afterwards we took the strategic decision to design packaging for the cube that had to be 100% visible to the consumer since the cube was a really beautiful product. Competitors use mostly blister packaging or the classic hexagonal one. The selected packaging design was a result of brainstorming and other idea generation methods. After countless sketches, the final packaging cocncept was approved for further development. Quick and dirty prototypes were made to evaluate if it can be manufactured with the available materials before proceeding to the next development phase. All the weaknesses of the packaging construction were revealed following the alpha prototype creation. We played around with many solutions before coming to the optimal one which was unusual but functional fusing two completely different materials, paperboard and PET. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Package standing dimensions: 13cm x 6cm x 12cm. The package consists of 2 parts: paperboard and PET.
