4-i-1: Hvordan vi skapte en bulkpakke som kan deles opp i fire holdbare minipakker

Utfordringen: En forespørsel med høy innsats

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. ‍

Vår tilnærming: Innovasjon fra grunnen av

Vi liker utfordringer som krever nytenkning. Dette prosjektet krevde en løsning som ikke fantes fra før. Vi begynte med å jobbe tett sammen med kunden for å forstå behovene deres, hvor ofte pasientene bruker dem, og holdbarheten som trengs for både flerpakninger og enkeltdoser.

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 testing: Bygging av løsningen

Da vi hadde et konsept, var det på tide å sette det ut i livet. De første prototypene våre fokuserte på disse hovedområdene:

• 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 som 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. ‍

Konklusjon En løsning som er skreddersydd for behovene i den virkelige verden
