About Pineapple Pins Emballage de punaises
Pineapple Pins est un concept d'emballage destiné aux punaises. Sa forme s'inspire de l'ananas, dont les écailles extérieures rythmées évoquent la disposition des punaises. L'emballage mesure 80 par 80 par 80 millimètres, ce qui lui permet de tenir dans une main, une poche ou un sac. Il est réalisé en carton recyclé recyclable et biodégradable, imprimé en flexographie, et remplace ainsi le boîtier en plastique habituel. Une fois ouvert, l'emballage révèle un ensemble de punaises sur chacune de ses faces intérieures et peut être retourné pour en faciliter l'usage. Les punaises usagées peuvent y être replacées.
