Student Starpack Awards 2017 | Evaluation/Submission

Final professional photos of the new takeaway packaging

 

 

 







Evaluation
In conclusion, I believe I delievered the delieveries of this breif very well. I am very pleased with the final product of the sustainable takeaway packaging that I have designed and created. 

The most challenging aspects of this particular breif was most definitely the process on the 3D printer. Specficially the lid for the plastic box container. I kept measuring the box incorrectly thus making me print out a lot of lids mock ups, in the end I was able to get the correct measurements for the box container lid. Another problem when dealing with the 3D printer was that the plastic kept getting jammed whilst printing my 3D design. I had to clean the nozzle that kept jamming the melted plastic. Then restart the 3D printer machine, this was a new problem that came up for me, thus this causing me to slow down my work and time. 

It is unfortune that I am only able to submit a small prototype of the box that I have made. But I can only make small prototypes with the 3D printer that I own. I could of tried to make a bigger version, but it would of taken at least 2 days to build it and with the problems of the 3D printer it was not worth risking it. 

In addition inside the prototype box were the lid slots through, there are a few string bits this is because the type of plastic that I have used to create this 3D box cannot hold a solid shape for long this is why some are held and some are not. There is no alternative method to fix this problem. Plus I could cut the string bits, but I am afraid that it might loosen the other stronger parts that hold it together.

I am most pleased with the paper packaging design, I am very happy that I stuck with same colours scheme as the takeaway that I have based the packaging design on ‘New City Garden’. The foiling process is decent but I could of done it more better if I had more time and the equipment. Nevertheless the results of the foiling turned out well, especially when I had so many trial and errors when applying the foil on the paper. The most easiest method of transferring foil on paper was double sided type as the tape could easily take the foil. 

The sticker designs are also a favourite of mines during this design process. I especially like how my peers informed me that using an authentic chinese window sticker design will realy make a difference to the visual apperance of the packaging. 


In the end, again I am very pleased with the final product of this brief. This is the second time for me using a 3D printer and I will carry this on for future briefs and projects.
