About Solar Media Embalaje reutilizable

Solar Media es un embalaje reutilizable creado para productos de iluminación de energía solar que se venden en zonas sin electricidad. El envase está fabricado en cartón corrugado con una impresión sencilla. Cada parte del embalaje está diseñada para tener un segundo uso una vez desempaquetado el producto. La partición de papel del interior de la caja puede plegarse para convertirse en una percha. La caja misma funciona como cajón. Seis cajas y el cartón exterior de transporte pueden combinarse para formar un armario, una alacena u otra unidad de almacenamiento. Esta función añadida no incrementa el costo de producción.
