Package Opening
Testing
•The pringles chip container was wrapped in a layer of bubble wrap and polyester cotton. It turned out to be a very effective padding/cushioning system.
•I dropped it three times from my room window, which is 11 feet off the ground. Each time the pringles chip came out of the box unscathed.
Conclusion
After doing all the steps of the design process, we successfully made a sufficient package that could send the chip over to Conant
