Within the scope of the graduation thesis, an innovative packaging, which can be reused for different purposes, and thus has a longer life span, has been created. The theoretical part of the thesis covers description of the packaging, its functions, and materials. Cardboard packaging and materials used for the experimental part of the thesis are described. This is followed by description of one of the ways of expanding a life span of packaging and its benefits as well as some of the existing packaging, which have a possibility of reuse.
The experimental part covers an overview of testing properties of four selected potential packaging materials. Testing was carried out to determine some of the basic, surface, and mechanical properties of the selected materials. Results of the measurements are shown in spreadsheets with their average value, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation values in the results and discussion section of the thesis. This is followed by the commentary on testing results and consequential selection of the most appropriate material. After that, the development of the final packaging and its graphic design are described. Production of the final product is also described.
The goal of the thesis was to develop and produce a simple and innovative packaging with added useful characteristic, which would attract buyers. The main goal was to find a way of expanding a life span of packaging with making small yet simple changes to one of the existing packaging templates so that production costs would not increase.
