SLICER packaging: container with a bottom tear-open

Prototype of a cylindrical container with a flip lid and a tear line at the base, giving access to the contents in a different way from conventional openings.

Retail and packaging Corporate $5,000 – $10,000 60 days

The price includes design, functional prototyping, product testing and optimization.

Why design packaging with a bottom opening?

1

Standing out at the point of sale

A container with its own way of opening stands out from the usual formats on the shelf.

2

Opening designed for the user

The tear line with a pull tab gives access to the contents without extra tools.

3

Flip lid

The hinged lid makes the container easy to use repeatedly once opened.

4

A recognizable shape

The cylindrical body with a conical shoulder gives the brand its own image and can be adapted to other formats.

Packaging design

Container with a cylindrical body, conical shoulder and flip lid.

Tear-open system

Bottom opening line with a pull tab to separate the base.

Mechanical design

Lid hinge and base fit designed together as one assembly.

Industrial Design

Proportions and finish designed for brand image and shelf presence.

Prototyping

Physical prototype to check opening and handling before series production.

Next step: validation

Checking the opening geometry in CAD and with functional prototypes.

“In packaging, the opening is part of the product: if users can’t tell how it opens, they won’t buy it again. Design and mechanics had to decide together. If we could do this, we can surely do your idea.”
