By Marie & Margaret

Calculations old package

LA= 6+6+6+6(.5)= 21in2

SA=(21in2)+ 72in2 = 93in2

V=(6×6)(.5)=18in3

Calculations New PackageLA= 2(3.14)(1)(3)= 18.84

SA=2(3.14) (1)2 = 6.28 +18.84 = 25.12in2

V= 3.14 (1) (3) = 9.42in3

Comparison:LA= 2.16 in2

SA= 67.88 in2

V= 8.58 in3

What does it look like?What does it look like?

The new product will have six Reese's instead of two. Also it will be in a cylinder container instead of a rectangular container. It also will have a different label instead of being orange it will be warm colors because warm is friendlier colors and will work for anytime where orange looks like it is of Halloween.

BWBenefits to package

change!

Recycled materials used Cost less to package 6 together then 2 Higher price to sell them Costumer still gets more for their money

Why we picked this?

We picked Reese’s because as shown their packaging was not the best it had a lot of extra roomAlso we found that using 6 in a package was easier.

Durability?Our new package is more durable. We are using a plastic container instead of plastic wrapper. This will make many people happier because the Reese’s will have less of a chance of melting because the plastic container is better at keeping heat out. Also it is easier not to squish them because plastic container is not as easily squished as plastic wrapper is.

Survey

On Saturday we went out and did a survey, seven out of the ten people we asked said that they would prefer a six pack if it would be worth their money. The three people that said no was because they liked two packs so it was not too much to eat at once.

So we decided to put a top on the package so you could only eat two and save the rest for later but still save money and not have to buy three six packs to get six Reese’s.
