Practical, Making a net - OUGD601

The chosen product for the packaging is spaghetti. This requires a net so a box can fit around the pasta.

The box itself would have to be measured to make sure that pasta could fit into it. The box measures, h300mm x w80mm x d20mm. This would fit a standard 500g packet of spaghetti inside. Usually spaghetti comes in plastic packaging as it is easier to control and keep fresh. A card outer layer would almost be irrelevant to the design but it has been done prior to this. On another note the whole project is fiction and is just to demonstrate how colour, type and shape can affect someone's view on a product.

Initially the design had smaller tabs to fit the box together. After printing this proved harder for the box to close effectively so the tabs had to be made a similar size to the depth of the box. 

 Once the tabs has been adjusted the box could be remade. This time the tabs matched the depth of the box and on the lid small slits were made on the top tab so that the side tabs could slot in more efficiently.
