Burgopak’s design team utilized one of their proprietary Coupe packs so that the supplement sticks completely fill the space inside, minimizing dead space. The materials and design were optimized for efficient material use and practical strength.
The tray is designed to present the stick packs at an angle – they lie on their long edge, staggered against each other at a slight angle. This carefully considered layout creates a visually interesting presentation with improved dimensions proportions - not too long, not too deep.
“Every detail, from the angled sachet presentation to the optimized dimensions for Royal Mail shipping, balances visual engagement with cost-effective practicality,” says Dane Whitehurst, Creative Director, Burgopak.
