PING PONG PACKAGING
CHALLENGE
Design a ping pong carrier that can hold 6 ping pong balls using only construction paper and minimal adhesive.
THE SOLUTION
This ping pong ball carrier is extremely light weight, and is modular to reduce negative space on the shelf. The carrier uses minimal material and is designed for the user to reuse the packaging to store and access the ping pong balls easily without tearing the packaging apart. The shape of the packaging is derived from an octahedron, using a subtractive method to create the perfect amount of tension points to keep the ping pong balls snug in the carrier.
