4 en 1: cómo creamos un envase a granel que se divide en 4 minienvases duraderos
El reto: Una petición con mucho en juego
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.
Nuestro enfoque: Innovación desde la base
Nos gustan los retos que exigen nuevas ideas. Este proyecto exigía una solución que aún no existía. Empezamos trabajando estrechamente con el cliente para entender sus necesidades, la frecuencia de uso por parte de los pacientes y la durabilidad necesaria tanto para los envases múltiples como para las dosis individuales.
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.
Creación de prototipos y pruebas: Construir la solución
Una vez que teníamos un concepto, era hora de darle vida. Nuestros primeros prototipos se centraron en estas áreas principales:
- 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.
El resultado: Una solución que ofrece
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.
Conclusión: Una solución adaptada a las necesidades del mundo real
Este proyecto ejemplifica lo que mejor sabemos hacer: escuchar atentamente, pensar de forma creativa y ofrecer soluciones que respondan a los retos del mundo real. Incluso los problemas de envasado más complejos pueden resolverse con el enfoque adecuado. Si se enfrenta a un problema de envasado, estamos preparados para ayudarle a encontrar una solución que funcione.
