Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional display packaging boxes often restrict the view of the product, are aesthetically unappealing, and difficult to recycle, leading to consumer dissatisfaction and lost revenue due to premature opening of packages.

Innovation Solution

A packaging box design featuring pyramidal supports and side windows that allow full product visibility without external indicia, made from a single sheet of material that can be easily assembled and recycled, incorporating a product retention bracket for secure display and handling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If conventional box-type packages with windows are used to display products, then product visibility is improved, but the view is limited and consumers cannot see the entire contents

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct visibilityVSAvoidwindow area
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The packaging is divided into multiple separate panels (front panel, back panel, side panels) that can be folded to create a box structure with windows on multiple surfaces. This segmentation allows the product to be viewed from multiple angles while maintaining a compact boxed structure, resolving the contradiction between limited window area and comprehensive product visibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of information

If plastic packages with unusual shapes are used for display, then product visibility is improved, but they are difficult to stack and disassemble for recycling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct display capabilityVSAvoidstackability and recyclability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The packaging design serves multiple functions: it provides product display through windows, maintains a regular box shape for efficient stacking, and uses standardized folding structures that facilitate easy disassembly and recycling. The same folded panel structure enables all these functions simultaneously, resolving the contradiction between display capability and ease of recycling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Loss of information

If windowed box-type packaging is used, then product display is enabled, but the design is frequently aesthetically unappealing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct display functionVSAvoidaesthetic appeal
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The packaging applies different properties to different parts: transparent or open window areas for product display are strategically positioned on specific panels, while other panels maintain solid, aesthetically pleasing surfaces. The folded box structure itself creates an attractive geometric form. This localized application of transparency and structure resolves the contradiction between display function and aesthetic appeal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

An improved packaging box to display a product therein wherein the packaging box comprises a box portion, a bottom support, and a top support. In conjunction with the box portion, the bottom support and the top support hold a product positioned or centered within the box to form an enticing display for the product, without the need for placing representative indicia on the package to indicate its contents.
