Innovative TV packaging

Philips Brugge is met zijn 400 collega’s het internationaal innovatiecentrum dat de meest innovatieve TV’s ontwikkelt en consumenten zo een niet te evenaren cinematic viewing experience bezorgt. Perfect Pixel HD, Ambilight, Aurea en de recent gelanceerde Cinema 21:9 Platinum 3D-TV zijn allemaal ontstaan in deze vernieuwende en gedreven omgeving. Net zoals voorgaande jaren werd ook in 2011 ons werk bekroond met de prestigieuze EISA-award voor meest groene tv en de beste 3D-televisie.

Description:
All televisions are individually packed in a single upright box, made out of cardboard with cushioning material inside, placed in a group of sets on a pallet. This concept is a general commodity, but absorbs a lot of material use, weight, hastle with obsolete packaging after unpack, cost,…

The assignment is to create a concept by which the whole packaging chain is taken as a question mark, meaning:
- What do our customers, in the widest sense, really want?
- What’s the easiest & cheapest way to safely transport televisions from our production facilities to the end customer?
- Is a single box really required?
- What’s the greenest approach?
- …

The thesis results in a new innovative packaging concept which brings the ultimate balance between technical requirements, cost & sustainability/lifecycle.
