Packaging Prototypes

Above is the first version of my packaging. It is a simple box which I feel is a good choice to go with and will be able to portray visual elements perfectly. But whilst developing my design ideas this design for my packaging needs tweaking and developing to produce a great final piece.

Here are two pictures of an open net of my box packaging. To fit my design on the inside of the packaging perfectly enough to perfectly lay the design out, I have expanded the net by adding extra grids making the box wide enough to fit my designs on.
When making the box I then realised that once it was put together it would not stay in the up right position. I then developed the net layout with tabs that would tuck into the sides of the box which would keep the box together. After making the tabs I then realised that they would need to be longer in order be sure that they would be sturdy.

After tweaking the let layout to my packaging and longer tabs in order to keep the box together, above are images of my packaging prototype in the stages from been flat to then been put together to show where the tabs go and the box in it's final position.
I am quite happy with the final outcome of the prototype and glad that it has all worked out in the end. I can not wait to start with my designs and see the final outcome in at the end.
