Pineapple Pins

Pineapple Pins is a packaging design for push pins. The form is inspired by the pineapple fruit, whose rhythmic outer scales suggest the arrangement of the pins. The package measures 80 by 80 by 80 millimetres, so it fits in a hand, a pocket or a bag. It is made from recyclable and biodegradable ground cardboard and printed by flexography, which replaces the common plastic case. When opened, the package presents an array of pins on each inner face and can be turned inside out for easier use. Used pins can be dropped back into the package.

Gradient Ramp Tape

Gradient Ramp

Gradient Ramp is an adhesive tape designed to make the cut end easier to find. Standard transparent tape is very thin, so the edge is often hard to locate after use. Gradient Ramp carries a gradient of color along its length. When the tape is cut, the layers create a visible color difference at the cut line. The user looks for the area of strongest contrast and lifts the tape from that point. The tape is made of a PVC film without plasticizer, which offers good low temperature resistance, strong initial tack and easy cutting.
