Bad Packaging Design


Here are three examples of bad packaging design. First of all, the packaging of the flour is terrible. It always leaves a mess when transferring it into another container or when using it. I also hate the marshmallow bag because if you don't finish the entire bag, you have to either tie the bag (which is made out of very stiff plastic) or put it inside another bag. The packaging of the noodles also bothers me for the same reason that it has to be transferred to another container.

Good Packaging Design



I think these are examples of good packaging design. The "Lysol/Clorox" toilet bowl cleaners are very convenient, you can just twist the cap and squeeze directly on the right spot. The "Smucker's" spread container is also great, one no longer has to dip a spoon inside a jar, now we can just "squeeze" the bottle and spread it directly on the toast. The "Cheerios" individual container was also a good idea because one can just remove the cover, pour milk, and enjoy!
