The Original
Package Our original package had
a surface area of 696
centimeters squared, and a
volume of 1,080
centimeters cubed. The
used air space measured
720 centimeters cubed, so
most of the air space was
already taken up. So, only
1.5% of the air space in
the package
was unused.
 What Could
be Changed?
What could we add or take away to make
the project better? Here were some of our
ideas.
Change the closing
Reduce package size
Change shape of the package entirely

We eventually just decided to change the

closing and reduce the package size.

 What
Economic and
Financial Financial Impacts:
Impacts are Our new, redesigned
package is better financially
Made? for the manufacturer. It
reduces the amount of
supplies (such as glue or
cardboard) per package.
This is definitely a plus for
the manufacturer! It could
also be a plus for the
consumer, as it may be less
expensive to purchase.
Economic Impacts:
As mentioned before, the
reduction of size, and
therefore materials, helps
keep the cardboard out of
the trash or recycling. This
helps our environment by
limiting the amount of
materials needed and used.
