Package Usability Testing

Refillable cosmetic packaging device that prevents using the refill without the case to maintain product protection. The device has a cosmetic product refill with a rotatable sleeve around the cap. The device housing has a complementary relief shape to engage with the sleeve relief. This connection prevents rotating the sleeve without the housing, making it harder to use the refill alone. The housing provides protection that the refill lacks.

A packaging and dispensing assembly for a cosmetic product that improves the design of the cap on the product container. The cap has a two-piece construction with a flexible skin connected to a rigid frame. This allows the cap to snap onto the product container without visible snap-on grooves. The cap also has a ribbed structure on the inside that locks onto the container when assembled. The cap can be easily removed by pressing the tabs on the ribbed structure. This provides a better sealing and retention mechanism compared to traditional snap-on caps.

Refillable cosmetic packaging with improved refill retention and easier refill swapping. The packaging has a cover assembly with flexible tabs around it, and a removable refill container with an axial holding ring. The ring engages the tabs to hold the refill axially in the cover. Rotating the ring in one direction locks it, preventing accidental refill ejection. Rotating the ring in the opposite direction releases the refill. This provides secure retention and easy refill swapping. The tabs prevent clearance between the refill and cover, improving quality perception. The ring engages the tabs to indicate it's locked.

Lid for a sheet material package like a wet tissue box that allows pulling out one sheet at a time without multiple sheets coming out together. The lid has an extraction hole with a central hole, left and right slits, and curved slits connecting them. When pulling a sheet, the curved slits provide resistance preventing multiple sheets from being pulled simultaneously. The central hole allows easy extraction, while the slits slow down the sheet exit. This prevents accidental pulling of multiple sheets at once. The lid also has a rotating part to open/close the lid.

Smokeless tobacco pouches for oral consumption that improve user comfort by having rounded corners instead of sharp corners. The pouch has discrete seams at each end. The inner seam has an arcuate portion proximal to the pouch, and the outer seam has an arcuate portion distal to the pouch. This provides a more consistent seal strength and prevents sharp corners from contacting the user's mouth when placing the pouch. The rounded corners improve mouthfeel compared to sharp corners. The pouch can be made by forming sheets around the content, sealing them, and then cutting the rounded corners.

A packaging bag with an extraction opening for easily removing the contents without spilling. The opening allows access to the contents without needing to cut or tear the bag. It can be a resealable opening, like a zipper or fold-over flap, that can be closed after extraction. This provides convenience and reduces mess compared to traditional bags that require fully opening and emptying.

Packaging liner with features that make it difficult to remove items from the packaging and prevent accidental item loss. The liner has a sticker with a window cutout. The sticker has folded back protective pieces along the sides of the window. These protective pieces stand up and shield the gap between the item and the liner, preventing grasping and removal from the packaging.

A unique packaging container design for storing spices or cosmetics. The container has a novel shape that allows easy dispensing of the contents while preventing spills. The container has a curved interior surface that funnels the product toward the opening when tilted, making it easier to access and dispense the contents. The container also has a wide mouth with a flared lip that helps prevent spills when opening and closing. The curved interior and wide mouth features combine to provide a convenient and spill-resistant dispensing experience.

Child-resistant polymeric cap for containers that prevents children from accessing hazardous contents while still allowing easy opening for adults with reduced grip strength or dexterity. The cap has a sliding lid that engages a portal in the cap body. The lid has spring-loaded projections that snap into depressions on the portal to secure the lid closed. An audible click indicates the lid is locked. To open, the user slides the lid along the portal to release the projections.

A cover opening and closing mechanism for packaging boxes that allows easy opening without separate release buttons or devices, while reducing manufacturing costs by using the same paper material for the cover and box. The mechanism involves an elastic piece inside the box that connects to the cover when closed. When the cover is forced upward, the elastic piece deforms and separates from the cover groove, allowing the cover to open. This prevents accidental closure. When closed normally, the elastic piece restores and clicks into the cover groove. The cover can be easily opened by pressing it onto the box.

A resealable food storage pouch that opens and reseals at three sides for easy access and reduced mess compared to traditional packaging. The pouch has a body with panels that can fold open on three sides like a book to access the contents. Interlocking strips and seams secure the closure. This allows the pouch to be opened wider than a regular resealable pouch for better accessibility and resealing without spilling contents.

Disposable bottle with one-touch removal of elastic wrapping band. The bottle has a lid and main body. An elastic wrapping paper is wound around the bottle between the lid and body. The wrapping paper has a perforation line. When the lid is rotated, the perforation line gets cut and the wrapping paper separates from the body. The lid and body have recessed grooves that match the width of the wrapping paper. This allows the paper to be inserted and held securely. The recessed grooves prevent protrusion when the paper is cut. This enables easy one-touch removal of the paper after opening the bottle.

Reusable pouch with a closure system that provides auditory and tactile feedback when opening and closing the pouch. The closure has an elastomeric male closure profile with oversized regions that interdigitate with the female closure profile. This creates a snap when closing that indicates a tight seal. The oversized regions provide tactile feedback and the snap provides audible feedback. The intermittent interdigitations prevent the male from fully retracting, requiring the snap to fully engage for a tight seal.

A packaging case with a unique mechanism to easily lock and release thin items like cards without needing excessive force. The case has a central storage space with a protruding pressing unit to fix items. The pressing unit has flexible buckle members and elastic pieces connecting the upper pressing sheet and lower body. When pressing down to insert or remove items, the sheet rotates the buckle members and elastic pieces to adjust the hooks and protrusions. This allows the items to be held or released with less force compared to fixed deformation.

A packaging operation confirmation system that allows orderers to view video of their ordered items being packaged to ensure accuracy. The system captures video of the packing process and associates it with the order ID. When an orderer requests it, the video is provided to them. This allows orderers to verify the packaged item is correct and hasn't been substituted or gone missing.

A jewelry packaging box that can create an opportunity to recall the joy felt when receiving a gift by incorporating a scent source. The packaging box has a lower box body and an upper box lid connected by a hinge. It contains jewelry when closed. The box has a scent source inside that releases a scent associated with the joy of receiving a gift. This scent can trigger memories of the gift-giving occasion every time the person approaches or opens the box. It can also help promote the use of related products like perfume since the scent dissipates over time and needs to be replenished.

Pouch with a spout that can be easily held with one hand when the pouch becomes larger. The pouch has a unique design for the side seals to facilitate grip. Instead of traditional side seals that run vertically along the pouch edges, the side seals extend horizontally along the top and bottom of the pouch. Each side seal has a finger hole or cutout so that fingers can insert and grasp the pouch from the side. This allows easier one-handed carrying and holding of larger pouches.

Pouch container for storing viscous liquids like jelly drinks that makes it easy to fully empty the container without leaving residue behind. The container has guide poles inside the side walls that extend from the opening towards the bottom. The guide poles are elastic and contact the inside surface where the contents touch. When the container is filled, the guide poles apply pressure to push the contents outwards. The contents flow along the poles towards the opening. This forces all the contents to the center and helps fully evacuate the container even for thicker liquids.
