SUMMARY
A cushioned package design project may be broken down into 6 manageable tasks.
Each provides information which helps to develop an optimum packaging solution.
1) Define the Environment
2) Assess the Product Fragility
3) Provide Product Improvement Feedback
4) Evaluate Cushion Material Performance
5) Design the Package System
6) Test the Product/Package System
Designing the package is only a small part of the total package development
process. Much effort is put into accurately determining how the package should
perform so that it can provide the proper amount protection. Once this
information is understood, an optimum solution can be reached which takes into
account the weaknesses of the product, the hazards of the distribution
environment and the characteristics of the packaging materials.
