Packaging Redesign Sketches

These are my 3d structure sketches...













These are my 2d Sketches...

  1. I really like the fourth one from the bottom, I think its very practical and I like how it shows the tea bags. I also think the dipped tea idea is really interesting, I would like to see how it would turn out. The very first one confuses me a bit , are you thinking that the teabags would get smaller at the top so they could fit in the pyramid shape?

  2. As far as function goes. I think the third one down works the best. I like the idea of the die-cut so you can see how many tea bags are left... however, having the opening on the side may be a problem. Just imagine this next to something. You no longer see the die-cut because the box will have to be turned or you will have to try and get the bag out of the side. I think having the die-cut and hole where the bags come out should be on the same side so that one doesn't lose function over the other.

    the first one is confusing because the top tea bags would have to change shapes. The circular one wouldn't work out unless the tea-bags were also a circular shape. If they are circular, the hole they come out of would have to be wider.

  3. The columnar container with the leaf on the top is a very unique design and would dispense the packets easily. You night want to consider some form of a plastic encasement over the leaf to prevent damage during transportation and stocking.

    Your last layout design feels the most organic but it needs more hierarchy; try making the "Green Tea" more prominent.

  4. For the package design, I think the first one seems interesting, but I would not know how it would work (the pyramid shape makes me wonder). It's a bit difficult to chose layout... I think it would be easier when its on the package.

  5. For the design aspect, my eye is drawn to your fourth thumbnail of the tea and the leaves. It's very clean, and well organized. The rest seem a bit busy to me, but those things could be easily averted with some tweaks here and there.

    My only problem is that I'm having difficulty seeing those designs on your actual package examples. But, that is not necessarily a bad thing! You can totally change your graphics to fit the parameters of your boxes. Otherwise, I like all of the structures you have on there, except #1 because I agree with Kim. I'd have to say that box #2 looks like a pretty good idea as far as combining functionality and aesthetics are concerned.

  6. I like the structure of the 3rd package the most because you get to see how many tea packages you have left, plus it's easy to grab one tea packet at a time

    As for the layout of the tea bag packaging itself I like the 2nd one because it's got a nice composition of elements. You could make the black strip the part you tear open, so not only would it be a graphical element is would also be functional to tell the user which end opens.

  7. For structure i like the rounded shape, because of its uniqueness.
    The second layout has the simplest design and I like it over the others.

  8. I love the first one and the 4th one. Good job. They look great. Very special designs. I like how they both open up on the front. It makes it more accessible.

  9. my favorites are the 3rd and 4th ones. the pyramid is cool but i think it would be impractical for stacking and displaying at the store. i really like the idea of having the die cut showing the packages and being able to pull out the packs from the bottom. very good functionally. i'm really curious to see how the design of the graphics will work.

  10. i like all the design it unique and it different from the original. the third one is more better than the rest. it show the inside of the tea box. you can now if it empty already by the see through design. great job

  11. I like the idea of the tea bags stacking and coming down the tube.
    The cylinder seems nice maybe you can make the tea bags a circle package so it can be stack easier and I also like the design where the leaf is dripping into the tea that looks nice.

  12. Number tree is my choice. I wouldnt do tubular or trapezoid shapes just because I would have to deal with the internal empty space left after placing the rectangular tea bags in it. However, the tube would be rather different and if you could work it out it could be pretty interesting... maybe having a die cut seeing through herbs or something like that. It would be left to you to explore that concept.
    Three, on the other hand is more straight forward and less complicated. I like the leaf idea on the side.

  13. The second package is my favorite, but I'm interested with the top leaf. Not exactly sure what it's for, but it's interesting.
