Interviews were conducted with the customers, the end users, and the distributors to map out the key features that needed to be designed into the final packaging.
From the interviews, design goals were set. With those design goals in mind, the designs created in the early stages were eliminated or revised. The images below were the two designs that were revised in accordance to the interviewee's comments and feedbacks.
