Easy to Open Clamshell Packaging

by Mario Vellandi on April 3, 2007

I love the plastic perforation on this clamshell packaging from a smoke alarm I bought. So easy to open, and no painful struggle with scissors.

I know such general packaging is made to prevent shrinkage and theft. But when it becomes a major pain in the butt to open, and we’re left with a negative ongoing impression, it’s a joy to have such a pleasant package opening experience. Corny but cool.

Hey there…great post! And beautiful blog design. I look forward to reading more of your work.

As for your packaging comment — I agree completely. The person/team who designed this package had their end user in mind. Unfortunately an all too rare instance.

Thanks Drew!
I found the right template to work with and categorized my favorite blogs by topic.

Packaging is part of the product experience, even if short lived.

Hi Mario — 
The blog looks fantastic. And you couldn’t have gotten a better send-off than from CK.

Good luck. I’ll be reading.
