Project Brief:
Either:
offer a pack, made from corrugated board as an alternative to any existing packaging made with other materials;
Or:
Design a non packaging product currently made from other materials, such as plastics, metals, wood or composites, using corrugated board
Design Solution:
A cheap, easy, modern solution to a tablet PC stand (with varied angles)
The tablet PC market has grown dramatically over the past 2-3 years with many electronics companies designing and manufacturing their own solutions. This has meant that the tablet PC accessory market has grown directly proportionally. The design solution generated from this project takes a tablet PC stand/cover concept and manufactures it from corrugated board.
Researach shows that current stands/covers can cost in excess of £80. The main concept of this design is that customesr would buy the flatpacked corrugated board stand in packs of 10-15. Due to the simplistic design along with the cheap cost of corrugated board the product could be manufactured at a low cost. Users could then slip one into their bag on their way to work (for example) to use throughout the day. Once used the product can then be completely recycled in the normal UK recycling infrastructure as corrugated board is 100% recyclable.
