Packaging Concepts for Arthritis Sufferers

 
Concept1: Shampoo Bottle
The idea is to have a smooth quarter twist in the lid; clockwise to open and counter clockwise to close it. It is also upside down  to minimize the effort in dispensing the shampoo. However, my Tutor said that although there's a minimal twisting motion it will remain uneasy for arthritis sufferers to open it.
 

 
Concept2: Pro-biotic drink bottle (e.g. yakult, vaalia, danone)
The idea in this concept is to have an easy open/easy drink experience by redesigning the lid and making it the same material as the bottle which is PP. In current packaging, the foil lid is reported one of the hardest packaging drink to open (yakult). Also the plastic wrapper that holds the drink together requires a tool to open it. 


 
Concept3: Coffee Jar
The idea is to have a fliptop lid that is easier to open in comparison to the pressure lock or twist cap. The lid has a silicon rubber that will prevent the coffee from oxidizing. My Tutor said that it is a fine concept but irresponsible to design a packaging of a product that is unhealthy for the arthritis sufferers.
