Abstract
This report details the development and evaluation of fibre-based primary packaging concepts for the growing ready-meals category, focusing on a concept packaging design project for Micvac AB. The research methodology employed the Double Diamond of Design Thinking as an innovation model. The project encompassed an assessment of the desirability, feasibility, and viability of fiber-based packaging. Subsequently, a product design specification (PDS) was formulated. Based on the PDS, various concepts were generated and evaluated, culminating in the selection of two concepts for the prototyping phase. The two selected concepts use fibre moulding technology and the inclusion of a plastic liner to improve barrier properties. The liner design is... (More)
