Materials: The main package which is the box will need to be made of Card this is because it is easy to fold, score and shape it is also recyclable. Inside there will be a tray for the chocolates – this will be made of a plastic substance that should be recyclable.
Location: The product is likely to be used in a shop on display or stacked on shelves in the shop. This will affect the design by it maybe getting scuffed or maybe damaged. The product will also be used at a consumers household – here the design may get damaged and will look used.
Manufacturing: To manufacture a prototype of my design I will need to use a precise designing computer programme and a precise cutter and scorer. To make a batch of 50 products I will probably need a factory of precise cutters all linked to the initial design.
Aesthetics: The colours that I will use would be that of luxurious ones and from my survey people thought that Dark reds and Golds best represent this I may use other colours like a charcoal black to make a more bolder look. The Shape of this chocolate box will be the usual square shaped box because it is handled and stacked easily.
Environment: I will pay particular attention to the environment. As my product is made out of card it will be easily recycled and used again and will not damage the environment. The inside tray should be recyclable as it will be made out of plastic.
Ergonomics: the consumers of this product will interact with it by opening the box and maybe take the tray out. It will be ergonomically efficient because everyone can do that.
Life in Service: the expected life time of this product will only be 1-2 days minimum as when the chocolates are eaten the box is thrown away.
