Designing Custom Boxes for Non-Boxed Items

Designing Custom Boxes for

Non-Boxed Items:
The objective of this assignment is to develop your skills in creating custom packaging solutions for items that do not come in traditional box packaging. By the end of this assignment, you should be able to demonstrate your ability to design functional, creative, and visually appealing boxes that enhance the packaging and presentation of non-boxed items.

Task Description:
Item Selection: Choose two non-boxed items from your daily surroundings. The size of the item is between 15cm to 20cm. These items should not come in traditional box packaging but should be relatively small in size (e.g., a mug, a book, a pair of sunglasses, a candle, etc.).

Justification: Provide a brief justification for your selection of these items, explaining why custom box packaging would enhance their presentation and functionality.

Box Design
Box Structure: Create detailed diagrams or sketches of the box structure for each item, including dimensions, flap designs, and closure mechanisms. Ensure that the proposed box is functional and secure.

Prototype:
Create physical prototypes of the custom boxes for both selected items. You can use cardboard or other suitable materials to bring your designs to life.

Justification:

Item 1:

This hedgehog toy did not come in packaging but I feel like packaging will improve this due to preserving the furry material and making it more appealing to young kids.

Item 2:

The necklaces did not come in packaging, creating packaging will preserve the shells, prevent tangling and can be used as gift packaging or storage.
