About Ouch Twous Premye Swen

Ouch se yon twous premye swen pòtatif ki fèt pou itilizasyon chak jou. Bwat egzagonal la fèt ak papye resikle 60 liv, ki lejè epi fasil pou pote. Resipyan an divize an twa konpatiman ki swiv twa etap itilizasyon: netwaye ak dezenfekte blesi a, aplike tretman, epi mete pansman. Atik medikal esansyèl yo klase epi ranje ak enstriksyon etap pa etap. Bwat la ouvri nan mitan sifas devan an, sa ki ekonomize tan konpare ak yon bwat kare oswa yon fèmen. Objektif la se pou pèmèt moun ki pa gen fòmasyon medikal aji kòrèkteman nan yon ijans.

Unique Properties: Do you know how to use a first aid kit? Do you know the procedure of trauma bandaging? Are you a calm person in an emergency? Whether “yes” or “no”, we are introducing you to the best all-purpose mini First Aid Kit, which designed for your injury essential needs. The primary objective is to solve the questions above: how to make existing first-aid package design to become user-friendly and make medical items further organized. The secondary purpose is to make the package more portable.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width: 14cm Height: 12cm Depth: 2.3cm
Tags: Emotional design, handy, fast, easy to open, travel kit, step-by-step guide through
Production Technology: The project is made from 60lb weight recycle paper. The design was initially designed in Adobe Illustrator. Then we used a Laser cut machine to cut the box, and then we used a vinyl sticker machine to print the colour surface and numbers on the top.
Design Challenge: The hardest part of the whole creative process is to select the right medical items. We did lots of medical research about how to bind up a wound. Some essential first aid items are carefully selected in this first aid kit, and these items are sorted and arranged in 3 easy step-by-step use directions. The container is divided into three compartments: The first step is to clean and disinfect the wound, the second step is to apply various treatment drugs, and the third step is bandaging.
Research: We investigated the shape, size and content of at least 10 brands of first aid kits in the GTA market. Then I made various attempts with boxes of different shapes, and finally got our existing hexagon box style through continuous design.
Inspiration: This is a portable first aid kit designed for everyday life. While becoming more environmentally friendly, we want all ordinary people without professional medical knowledge to be able to use the first aid kit easily and correctly in emergency situations.

Do you know how to use a first aid kit?
Do you know the procedure of trauma bandaging?
Are you a calm person in an emergency?

The questions above are where the project started.
Project Duration: The project started in October 2019 Toronto and finished in November 2019 Toronto (5 weeks).
Operation Flow: First of all, we used paper packaging, which is highly environmentally friendly, handy and lightweight, which suitable for carrying around. Then we divided the process of using the first aid kit into three steps: disinfection, treatment and bandaging. Through continuous design iterations, we used the method of opening the hexagonal box from the middle part of the front surface. The advantage of this opening method is to save time for injury. After experimentations, we discovered that opening from the front cover is 1 to 2 seconds faster than a traditional square box or zipper.
