Protection & Transporting Ideas Research

Protection is one of the few specification that is vital! the paint it's carrying is high quality and therefore as the designer it is my responsibility to see that it does get there impact free.

One innovative idea that appeared on the television show 'Dragon's Den' was a protective case designed for laptops - L.I.P.S.

The L.I.P.S technology boast a new approach to how we can package valuable items. The laptop is strapped into these suspenders which hangs freely within the case. The obvious benefit to this case is if it does happen to get knocked or banged - it's the protective case that takes the full force, the laptop is not effected or knocked about because its strapped in and not being thrown about inside.

A good idea which I think could be transferred to protecting paint pots!

The eco packaging uses the bag-in-box concept which is designed specifically for transportation and storage needs. It has a internal liner bag (similar to a Bladder) made of several layers of metallised film or other plastics, which sits inside a corrugated fiberboard box.

 The GAC Group vice president commented on the subject...

"It's much more efficient, cost-effective, safe and environmentally-friendly way of transporting large volumes of liquids,"- Christer Sjödof
