Packaging Design

Inspired by a first aid kit, the challenge was to create packaging for an emergency kit of our choosing. The goal was to create a function, user friendly packaging system from one piece of 18x24 construction paper as our only material. I constructed an “Emergency Plant Rescue Kit” for plant owners experiencing plant damage. My kit includes a shovel, soil pH test strips, soil minerals and seeds. I wanted my package to be multipurpose, and to achieve this I had the shovel handle act as the tool to pull the contents out of the box with. This allows for the user to use the empty box as a planter or transporter for their plant. I also formed the opening hatch into a flower shape to make the package aesthetically pleasing while also tying the theme of the kit and the products inside together. I was given two weeks to complete this project.
