What materials will your prototype be likely to use and why are these ideal/appropriate?
I would use sturdy card for my design, which would be thick enough not to warp in shape so much, but still retain some flexibility in how it’s used. This could help me make my box strong enough to hold six bottles and sturdy enough to hold together. The flexibility of the card would help put the side of the packaging into the proper shape.
Is there an example of similar packaging use or precedent that has influenced your ideas to date?
There has been similar packaging used for carrying bottles, particularly used in shops like the Co-Op. The basis of this design I think is very good, and my idea is to experiment with its shape to try and put some branding into its design, as well as make it more noticeable and appealing to customers.
Does your prototype have the potential to be re-used, re-cycled, returned or composted?
The point of my design is to have it reusable for carrying bottles, in the same way that supermarkets distribute reusable bags. This would cut down on the amount of card used to make the boxes.
What are the key ideas involved in your individual prototype?
To establish that the box can be constructed using only card, with no glue or tape used at all. I also wanted to see if the box can be made into the shape of a bowler hat, which would act as free advertising for Hobson’s Brewery.
