Packaging Nets

Because my packaging is rather unorthodox in shape a simple box net wouldn't be appropriate. The shape is similar to a chip/french frie carton with the way it busts out at the sides, there is also the hoop at the top to think about which might make the net rather difficult.

Chip carton net
My First solution to the product packaging net


Revision 1 - the first was too wide and the bottom didn't sit wide enough, I've made adjustments in these areas.


Revision 2 -
I had to move the lid to the side after revising the packaging net design, so I created a diagonal flat surface on one side.I also shortened the top flap.


After design the packaging nets I have realised that there will be some strain at the top (the hoop). I shall have to think about re-enforcing the top to prevent it from breaking when being carried.

Transport packaging solution

This net is fairly straight forward and therefore did not need to consult any packaging theory.




Revision 1
the ear's extruded out too much which meant the box couldn't close, i brought them in closer the the handles to solve this problem.



One of the best features this packaging net has to offer is that it needs no glue or adhesive to keep it together. It assembles and locks in itself using the ear tabs next to the handles. These could be cut to be the initials of Edward Bulmer - E on one side and B on the other. This is a nice aesthetic detail but this is the transport packaging and therefore could get ripped off / damaged in its journey.
