Accessible Packaging: Flour package design and Peer Review

5 comments:

  1. I think this design is simple and ergonomically great for arthritis sufferers.I like the grip feature on the bottle side for them to hold onto. The only suggestion i have is maybe the lid shouldn't be a pinching action instead something that they don't have to use so much actions.

  2. I like the way how users would hold the flour packaging, the fingers and the palm sits comfortably on the dented surface. The function solves the problems of the old flour packaging which is just made out of folded paper bag. The chosen material is good, its recyclable and sustainable. The design of the lid can be improved. Using the fingers to pinch the lid could be a bit difficult for arthritic patients. Instead of fingers, maybe palm could work? Overall, good research and nice work!

  3. Your design presents natural and organic! You design an excellent grip for holding flour packaging. And the easy rotate lid definite a solution for arthritis patients. My suggestion for improvement is designing groove that fits fingers to make user hold the product much stronger.

  4. This design aesthetically suits the contents of the flour. I agree with the above comments that the pinch action needed to open the lid may not be the easiest for arthritis sufferers. additionally the handle is not suitable it requires gripping and strength that a person with arthritis would not have . An improvement could be having a handle that you could just slip your hand under.

  5. The form of package is ergonomically designed for your target market and it allows users to hold up the product stably. Overall, your design is well matched with the innovation for arthritis sufferers. The suggestion I have is that having slide type of closure to open instead of using rotating feature.
