Solution Overview

Problem

Existing promotional packaging does not allow for the eyewear to be easily removable and wearable, missing an opportunity to enhance product promotion and user engagement during events or holidays.

Innovation Solution

A removable packaging eyewear blank with a perforated boundary that delimits eyewear within the packaging, enabling its removal for wear, featuring a pair of arms, eye-loops, and a bridge, with a removable center that can be shaped to represent specific occasions, such as a pumpkin for Halloween, allowing the packaging to be opened and the product to be dispensed.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If eyewear is integrated into packaging without removal mechanism, then packaging structure is simple, but eyewear cannot be removed for wear

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveeyewear removalVSAvoidpackaging structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The packaging is segmented into distinct components: the eyewear element and the packaging container. The eyewear is positioned within the packaging but separated by a perforated boundary, allowing independent removal of the eyewear from the packaging while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The eyewear is extracted from the packaging through a perforated boundary that allows removal. The perforation acts as an extraction mechanism, enabling the eyewear to be taken out from the packaging container for wear, while the packaging structure remains relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Adaptability or versatility

If eyewear is permanently attached to packaging, then packaging structure is simple, but promotional effectiveness is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepromotional effectivenessVSAvoidpackaging structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The packaging structure transitions from a static, permanent attachment to a dynamic configuration where the eyewear can be removed and worn. This dynamic characteristic enhances promotional effectiveness by allowing users to actually wear the eyewear, creating a more engaging and memorable promotional experience.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If perforated boundary is added to packaging, then eyewear can be removed, but packaging structural integrity is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveeyewear removalVSAvoidpackaging integrity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The perforated boundary is applied locally at specific locations within the packaging structure rather than throughout the entire packaging. This localized application allows eyewear removal functionality while maintaining structural integrity in other critical areas of the packaging.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality
