Brief:
The Whole Package
As you might be able to tell already, that my chosen packaging was the pringles packaging, looking into the design principles of the packaging, their main aim of the design was to protect the contents within the tube, the tube being sturdy and well put together, with the labels being nicely presented.
But there is only one fault which I have with the design of the pringles packaging and that is the size of the tube itself, myself and many others can not put our hands into the tube, pringles can't do anything to change this, due to the fact that if they compromise the size of the tube, they would have to change the size of the product or jeopardizing the product delivery, with more space to move around, there would be more chance to become damage.
so taking this into perspective I designed three different packaging proposal, to overcome this problem.
So my ideas to overcome the problem of not being able to put your hand inside the tube are;
Fig 1 - this image is showing you an elevator lift which is inside of the packaging already, and how it works is very simple, whenever you can't reach the product, you simply lift up the handle to raise the product to the top so you can retrieve it.
Fig 2 - Very similar to the first design, it’s an elevated idea, with the platform being attached to a string, which is also attached to a lever on the outer side of the packing but working in the opposite direction, instead of lifting the lever up to retrieve the content, you will be pulling it down.
Fig 3 - This design is different from the last two, and also is my favorite between them all, I have found that I, and many other people can reach the bottom of the smaller tubing which they produce, so I connected three of them together to build the size up, but when you come to the point which you can't reach no more, you can simple take off a layer and carry on eating, and if you can't finish off the tube, and you have taken a layer off, you can still cover them over with the lid.
