The Design

About Mitu Embalaje para cepillo de dientes

Mitu es el embalaje de un cepillo de dientes eléctrico sónico diseñado para niños. La caja está fabricada en papel y no contiene plástico. Elementos de dibujos animados e ilustraciones infantiles cubren sus superficies, de modo que abrirla se asemeja a la lectura de un libro ilustrado. Un cajón extraíble revela una secuencia de imágenes que avanza desde la caries hasta la placa dental y, finalmente, hasta unos dientes relucientes a medida que la caja se desliza. Una vez desembalado el producto, la caja puede conservarse como libro ilustrado o como juguete. El embalaje protege el cepillo de dientes y ayuda a que los niños desarrollen interés por el cepillado.
