Product Design Student Work: Anna Lena Idel & Thomas Kucyk's SNAIL Packaging
100% agree with Ben. This is self-serving, greenwashed, package design porn.
I'm curious who this is geared towards. How is this better or less packaging then a cardboard or paper box that most nails come in anyways? I'm all for innovation in the construction and DIY world, but this seems like it is solving an issue that does not exist. What person is going to undo their belt to put on a roll of nails. Just get a waste pouch or a toolbelt and it can hold all of the tools and nails you could ever need and it will last you a lifetime and could be passed down for several generations. Also if you are concerned about packaging, go to a contract supplier instead of a big box store and buy nails or screw by weight and use reusable containers.
Whatever happened to the old-school, rotating bin with various fasteners and nails that you scoop into a sturdy paper bag and purchase by the pound?
I think this is a fun exploration of a different packaging direction. However, I do agree that this concept likely uses more material to hold 50 nails than a simple cardboard box. And, the needs of the actual builder was not taken into consideration. The product would likely be annoying to use.
