Product packaging


Add VideoMy packaging product I chose was a monopoly game. I bought one of these games a while back and when I started opening it i realized that it had way to much wrapping on it. Ever little single thing was wrapped individually. Each instruction book was wrapped, the game board was wrapped, the money was wrapped by it self, the game pieces were wrapped by it self, and the box was wrapped in plastic as well. Now once you think of all the games that are made in the world, and everywhere there is one, that is a lot of plastic being used. Plus all of the other games in the world that have the same or even more of the same wrapping on them. Some of the game aren't never used so we just waste it.

If i were in charge of making games for people, i would use a way better solution for wrapping them. Everything doesn't need to be separated and wrapped individually. I would put all of the small things in one thing plastic bag that was air sealed so it would not damage the items. I would than wrap the game boards along with the instructions in one air tight bag. Then once the items were in the box you still have to wrap the outside the same cause if not then people can steal them easily. I would also start a program that every unused game or plastic product would go into the wrapping of the games so they do not go to waste. Also so we don't have to make new plastic to wrap the games in.
