The Design

About Mitu Tandenborstelverpakking

Mitu is de verpakking voor een sonische elektrische tandenborstel ontworpen voor kinderen. De doos is gemaakt van papier en bevat geen plastic. Cartoonelementen en kinderillustraties bedekken de oppervlakken, waardoor het uitpakken lijkt op het lezen van een prentenboek. Een uittrekbare lade onthult een reeks afbeeldingen die overgaan van tandbederf naar tandplak en uiteindelijk naar glanzende tanden wanneer de doos openschuift. Na het uitpakken kan de doos worden bewaard als een geïllustreerd boek of een speeltje. De verpakking beschermt de tandenborstel en helpt kinderen interesse te ontwikkelen voor het poetsen.
