Three Kinds of Packaging New Ideas Guided by Humanity (3)

Third, the concept of portable medicine bottle

Product object: medicine bottle of granular medicine.

Packaging Objective: To reduce bottled particulate drug contamination and find more convenient ways to open bottled drugs. Except for aluminum packaging, most of the granular medicines are bottled. When the spin-off cap is turned outwards, it is often more demand, and the patient has to put back the excess, unhygienic operation is easy to make the drug contaminated. In addition, for many patients with inflexible movements, it is very difficult to unscrew the swivel cap. However, it is difficult for normal people to do something simple. Care for vulnerable groups is the responsibility of the society and the designer.

Design concept: change the existing way of opening the cap, design slide structure, pull the control back and tilt the bottle, the tablet can slide out of the channel. Due to the limited channel width, traffic volume is controlled and it is not easy to pour it out too much, reducing the possibility of contamination. Simultaneous operation is also simple, labor-saving and time-saving.

Solution: The vials do not need to be restricted by the cap. They can fully use the imagination to make geometric shapes in a variety of simple shapes, but to ensure that when tilted to the point where the drug can be poured, the bottom of the vial is smooth, making the drug Not blocked. The size of the container opening is designed to be 1.5 times the width of the particles. The production of the slide switch refers to the existing slide control production technology, and selects the structure with better sealing property.

Use analysis: Take the "Gold Schlecon" pill bottle as an example (see Figure 3). As a human vitamin nutrition tablet, Goldschluck has a large consumer market, in which the elderly and the weak have a large proportion of the population. The original bottle shape is a four-fingered bottle with a cap. After a new design, the bottle can be easily opened with one hand and is easier to carry.

Material analysis: The bottle of the portable medicine bottle can still use the common bottle material. The switch control uses a slightly soft resin material, which is in full contact with the slide and has good sealing. The switch has bayonet details that do not slide easily.

“What will the packaging develop into the future?” has always been the topic of human discussion. Yangchun or white snow is a good thing for people under the Riba. As long as the commodity exists, the packaging will be accompanied by its long-term development. Green packaging, functional packaging and even the simple implementation of the end Packages and packages are in fact larger, higher-level packages. The pursuit of packaging should be more human and living. Let packaging be more than just “packing” and package, and create a personalized packaging that will enter into humanistic care. It will be the holy land and paradise for packaging development in the future.
