art and design 22-2755 - Structural Packaging Design

Institution:

Columbia College-Chicago

Subject:

Description:

This course is devoted to the design of structural packaging as it pertains to product design. The product designer is a critical force in the design and manufacture of packaging for a wide array of product categories, from food to cosmetics to consumer electronics. These packages are structural in the sense that they serve a dual role of both protecting the product during shipping and allowing for shelf placement and transport home by the consumer. Structural packaging, although less sophisticated from a manufacturing standpoint, still involves a wide array of materials and processes that cross over from the manufacturer of durable goods. The package is a unique problem in that its function is relatively short but its impact is potentially very large. 3 CREDITS
