The Design

About Solar Media Embalagem Reutilizável

Solar Media é uma embalagem reutilizável criada para produtos de iluminação movidos a energia solar, comercializados em regiões sem eletricidade. A embalagem é feita de papel corrugado com impressão simples. Cada parte do conjunto foi projetada para um segundo uso após o produto ser desembalado. A divisória de papel no interior da caixa pode ser dobrada e transformada em um cabide. A própria caixa funciona como uma gaveta. Seis caixas e a caixa externa de transporte podem ser combinadas para formar um guarda-roupa, um armário ou outra unidade de armazenamento. Essa função adicional não eleva o custo de produção.
