Description
Apple Me is a children's food packaging whose design aims at implanting a healthier diet for children at nursery schools. Its exterior appearance is to be noted, as its purpose is to draw the children's attention and encourage them to adopt a healthier lifestyle while having fun. It is composed of several pieces. Two of them are compartments: the lower one to place the food, and the upper one to close the packaging by insulating the inside, thus keeping the content warm and preserving the food properly. For greater comfort, two plates adapted to the final design are included. Apple Me proportion sizes guarantee children eat the right food amount in nursery school while having fun and using a product that they themselves can transport. The material used is cellulose pulp to make recycling easier and minimizing its environmental impact. Accordingly, the material is colored using ecological inks, making its final design more attractive.Other information
