4-i-1: Hvordan vi skabte en stor pakke, der kan deles op i 4 holdbare minipakker

Udfordringen: En anmodning med høj indsats

The client’s medication wasn’t a typical product; it was crucial for patients who might need immediate access to a dose during a sudden attack. The packaging had to find a delicate balance: robust enough for bulk distribution and strong enough to protect single doses when separated. Patients needed to tear off individual doses to carry with them daily, but these had to remain secure against environmental damage like moisture, heat, or impact. A purely single-dose approach would lead to loose packages scattered everywhere, creating a risk of losing doses. The challenge was clear: develop a multipack that kept doses secure together but allowed for easy, damage-free separation. ‍

Vores tilgang: Innovation fra bunden af

Vi kan godt lide udfordringer, der kræver nytænkning. Dette projekt krævede en løsning, som ikke fandtes endnu. Vi begyndte med at arbejde tæt sammen med kunden for at forstå deres behov, hvor ofte patienterne bruger dem, og hvor lang holdbarhed der er brug for til både flerpakninger og individuelle doser.

With a clear understanding of the requirements, we moved into the design phase. We envisioned a packaging system that could split apart cleanly, like a perforated sheet, allowing each piece to maintain the same protective qualities as the original multipack. The key was ensuring that every separated unit remained fully intact, providing maximum protection for the medication wherever patients took it. ‍

Prototyping og afprøvning: Opbygning af løsningen

Da vi havde et koncept, var det tid til at føre det ud i livet. Vores første prototyper fokuserede på disse hovedområder:

• Durability: Ensuring that both the multipack and the individual doses could withstand being carried in bags or pockets without being crushed.
• Ease of separation: Ensuring that patients could easily tear off a dose without damaging the remaining packaging.

Our initial design showed promise but revealed a flaw: the perforation system was too fragile, causing packs to tear too easily. We went back to the drawing board, refining the design to ensure a clean, controlled separation. After several iterations and testing, we perfected the system. ‍

Resultatet: En løsning, der leverer

The final product combined the client’s needs for a robust multipack with the convenience of individual doses. Patients could now carry a single dose safely in their pocket, knowing it would remain protected until they needed it. Meanwhile, healthcare providers could distribute the medication in bulk without compromising on safety. This dual-function packaging met the high standards required for both durability and ease of use, providing the best of both worlds. ‍

Konklusion: En løsning, der er skræddersyet til den virkelige verdens behov
