Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If conventional packaging is used, then manufacturing cost is low and production is simple, but package aesthetics are insufficient and consumer motivation is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes by using a non-white color layer on the package member to create a translucent area with specific opacity (5-55%) and speculum gloss (0.1-90). This color treatment enhances the premium appearance and aesthetic appeal of the packaging without requiring complex printing graphics, thereby improving package aesthetics while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.
2Shape
If transparent film layer with non-white color layer is used, then package aesthetics and premium impression are improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs composite materials by combining a transparent film layer with a non-white color layer to form the package member. This composite structure achieves the desired translucent appearance with specific opacity and gloss characteristics while maintaining a relatively simple two-layer configuration, thus improving aesthetics without excessive manufacturing complexity.
3Shape
If printing graphics on package is used, then product information and aesthetics are enhanced, but manufacturing cost and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces printing graphics with a non-white color layer that provides aesthetic enhancement through color and translucency effects. This approach achieves premium appearance and product visibility without the need for complex printing processes, thereby reducing manufacturing cost and complexity while maintaining or improving package aesthetics.
