Studying the design of everyday things

A new ally in the war on product packaging

, ,

...well, new to me at least.

We all know how annoying it is when product packaging gets in the way. You've just purchased your brand new Gerber pocket knife, but can't get through the plastic packaging without... well, a knife. We've talked about this before. But here's some light at the end of the tunnel for all of us. While reading this post on thisisbroken.com yesterday, I found a link to the "OpenX" tool which is designed specifically for easy, safe opening of packages. An interesting solution. I'll pick one up for sure if I ever stumble across it while shopping.

"Lack of control" induced panicLike peanut butter and chocolate- two great things come together at last.

smile I would have packaged it as difficult as possible. So the user will appreciate it all the more.. thinking "I'll never have to go through *that* again..."
