Oreo Shipper

When MAYA asked me to help out with this Oreo shipper, I knew it would be an interesting challenge. With 5 major organizations and design agencies involved, I would be just one tiny piece of the massive project puzzle. My goal was to create a box for shipping a single, custom-printed Oreo package, and preventing the contents from crumbling into a million pieces. This involved hand-cutting box prototypes in rapid succession, perfoming shipping tests, and working with a local box maker to do short-run testing. MAYA has a great writeup here, which expounds on the greater project scope, and reveals the end product.

Stuff I Did:

Prototyping
My design for the final prototype. This was used by the box manufacturer as a means of establishing final dimensions and design.
Prototype no. 1: An attempt at an all-cardboard container. Using additional packing materials, such as foam, complicates things at the production level, as well as at the shipping fulfillment level.
Prototype no. 2: The form has been simplified, and made easier to assemble in the shipping fulfillment phase.
Protype no. 3: Part of a short-run produced by our local box manufacturer. This version contains a blue polurethane foam floor, an attempt to protect the container from sudden shock.
