About Pineapple Pins Опаковка за пинчета
Pineapple Pins е опаковъчен дизайн за пинчета. Формата е вдъхновена от плода ананас, чиито ритмични външни люспи подсказват подредбата на пинчетата. Опаковката е с размери 80 на 80 на 80 милиметра, така че се побира в ръка, джоб или чанта. Изработена е от рециклируем и биоразградим смлян картон и е отпечатана чрез флексография, което заменя обичайната пластмасова кутия. При отваряне опаковката представя редица пинчета на всяка вътрешна страна и може да бъде обърната наопаки за по-лесна употреба. Използваните пинчета могат да бъдат връщани обратно в опаковката.
