Easy to Open Clamshell Packaging

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.

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.

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.

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

Good luck. I’ll be reading.
