Packaging and branding

packaging design and visual identity was a completely new stage for me and i was really excited to do the packaging in a Eco friendly pack.














I started of by using cardboard cones which is sold as scrap from spinning mills and covering it with fabric stitched with the guidance of a textile student-aditi.














I tried to reduce the stitches in the making so i used old Tyre tube to hold the fabric in place.














walking down raja market i found these ready made pouches that fit the cones perfectly.
i felt this process of packaging was getting messy and over the budget.














moving on to working with cardboard and talking to a visual communication student- nalisha
we started to do more research and thinking of a way to see the product when its packed.















a dirty prototype with paper showing the opening in the sides.














paper templates for the packaging














first trial with cardboard. It was a good start where the top was safely packed but the packing space could be reduced.














packaging using recycle cardboard.














side profile where the top can be seen .














unwind the rope to open the package














outer pack opens where the user manual and story of the top is there.

  2. the second one is better with the cardboard.. one needs to be able to see the top , when its fully covered not as exciting
