What sort of product do you think could use a package like this? Do you think the item would fit straight off or would it need extra padding maybe?
I had trouble with this packaging and couldn't work out where certain elements were supposed to go. In the end I was told how it was supposed to be assembled and what it was designed to hold. If I hadn't been told that it was a bottle holder, I wouldn't have known this. I'm still not sure how it works without seeing the real thing in front of me.
Do you think that you could improve on this net design? If “yes” then explain in what way[s].
I think the design could be improved, because it does seem a little complicated. It also seems to use a lot of material so I think that could definitely be improved.
Does your chosen package use glue to keep it together? If “yes” then does it use it in abundance or in a minimal way? Can you suggest a way that [if glued] this pack might be put together without glue and using ‘locking’ tabs instead? Please note down your thoughts.
This packaging was for a chinese takeaway. It did use a bit of glue (as you can see in the first image in four places where the cardboard has been pulled apart). Clearly it has used minimal glue but I think it could perhaps use locking tabs instead, and only altering the net design slightly.
What sort of material is your chosen package made from – card, plastic etc? Is this material ‘virgin’ stock or is it re-used in some way or marked as ‘environmentally friendly’ in some way? Do you think it’s an effective material.
The material is card. It was made from 100% recycled paper board and is marked as recyclable. I think it is an effective material because they have made it suitable for Chinese food by having a shiny layer on the inside of the box so that the food doesn't soak through. I haven't seen many (if any) Chinese places that have recyclable packaging, I think more should follow this example.

It did use quite a bit of glue. I think this one could definitely be made to use locking tabs instead because it's just a plain rectangular box and that can be easily altered to include the tabs.

This packaging is made from thick cardboard. It didn't say anything about being environmentally friendly or anything but being cardboard, it is certainly recyclable in most areas.
