The Challenge
Design product packaging for Eargo 5 to ship the following items to customers using the existing box:
requirements
iterations
Initial prototypes were made from pulp. However, the samples contained many cosmetic defects which seemed unlikely to be resolved within the given timeline due to manufacturing limitations, so the final version used polystyrene instead.
FINAL EXPloded view
unboxing
result
I worked on this project until the second round of prototyping. Afterwards, adjustments were made to the trays as a result of requirement changes to the accessories pack and the switch to polystyrene.
