Is your packaging Easy to Open? Easy to close? Does your packaging need a knife to open?

The Australasian Institute of Packaging (AIP) will be running a three-hour training course on UNBOXING ACCESSIBILITY: How to design better packaging that everyone can open, close, grip and handle and all of industry is invited to attend.

The accessibility of a product essentially relates to the ease of use a consumer experience when interacting with a product. Making a product accessible and easy-to-use or open adds value to a product for all. Accessibility is especially important for the independence of those with functional limitations such as reduced strength or dexterity. Groups particularly impacted are those with a disability, chronic pain, injury or illness, as well as the growing ageing population. For these groups inaccessible packaging and products become daily barriers to achieving everyday tasks like preparing a healthy meal and living independently.

THIS COURSE WILL ENABLE PARTICIPANTS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND:

  • The required design requirements for Accessible & Inclusive Packaging design.
     
  • What bad packaging really looks like and how it can impact the lives of many.
     
  • How to use Ease-of-Use packaging design tools which including examples from around the world.
     
  • Best Practice award-winning examples of what good Accessible Packaging should look like.
  • Case studies, checklists and guides to help you to design better packaging that everyone can open, close, handle and grip.
     
  • Consumer struggles and victories with daily use products and how it impacts their every day to encourage more inclusive designs.
     
  • Accessible & Inclusive packaging design guidelines and how to embed them into your packaging design.
