Production Technology: The package is produced from recyclable and bio-degradable grinded cardboard. Using eco-friendly materials replacing the use of plastic cases was the obligation. The print is achieved with flexographic printing process. The push pins are stamped onto using existing manufacturing methods of planar punching with the pins attached to a plate, punched and released. The unit is easily mass manufacturable.
Design Challenge: Ideation and structuring for versatility were the most challenging parts of the project, following the basics to develop an optimum solution.
Research: The research objective was to develop a distinct and precise level of requirements for the package to keep the product use cycle simple at the same time making it practical and versatile. Functionality was a major aspect of the design distinguishing it from the existing packages. The obligatory mandate was to replace the plastic packaging with eco-friendly materials. The user's standpoint as empathy was a major inspiration to innovate. Minimalism followed in ideation was also critical in getting a resourceful outcome. Ergonomically the dimensions were tested and validated for a better user experience.
Inspiration: Pineapple Pins is inspired by the structure and subsistence of the Pineapple fruit, the rhythmic arrangement of sharp scales on the outer walls of the fruit form the essence of the product packaging.

Operation Flow: The package offers a sense of perceptively attentive yet subtle. The push pins package upgrade implies the product image through a set of visual elements. A visual guide to the use of the package adheres to the overall product image. When opened, the package turns into an array of pins on each inner face and can further be flipped inside out for an easier constructive unit. The pins after use can be placed back or simply dropped into the package. The sheer versatility and ease of use is the essence.
