FLAT BREAD BAG PACKAGE DESIGN
Group of 3 members Duration:2 weeks
One day in a bread shops I found that there are a lot of tray papers and paper bags used, which made me wonder can we find a more efficient and paper-saving way to complete the same task. we want to save the paper resources through our design. We believe small changes can make a huge difference.
EXSISTING WAYS
Clamping bread from tray to bag is a inefficient process especially during the peak time.
Double waste of paper resources. (Bread tray paper & Paper bag)
IDEA
After several brainstorming of discussing the solution, with the key word ‘efficient’, we thought why don’t we make the tray paper and the paper bag together. Based on this idea, we started to think how to combine the two things .
OUR SOLUTION
USAGE SCENARIOS
STRUCTURE
PASTE AREA FLAT BREAD BAG is a better alternative of current tray paper , it can do double duty and save half material. Because of its special and simple structure, it enables users turn a flat tray paper into a bag in a few seconds by putting up the two handle holes on the each sides of the bag, and it is easy to share bread with others.
