The Flat-Me Boxes are seen as a gift set to be sent to family and friends. Used basically to store items of value or just in daily use. The boxes are able to be flattened when needed to be stored away. The use of primary colours help to keep the overall visual appeal. The mixing and matching of different coloured parts of the boxes simply support the fact that the boxes are intended to be sent in a set.
The overall sizes were made to fit the C4 envelope which the objects were to be sent in. With the length of a C4 envelope being 324mm, the boxes had side lengths of 100mm each. This would give the boxes a bit of lee-way when the studs were put in to connect the various parts of the boxes.

The boxes are obviously functional but easily unpacked and packed away if it weren't needed. I don't know who your target market are but obviously if they were for children for their small toys, the colours are really quite appealing and easy for them to use. The only thing I wonder about is the material, polyprop is really nice in that it is easy to manipulate but if it is for kids it has sharp corners that you want to avoid.
i like how smart these boxes are and how you can pack and unpack. I thought that the colors were really nicely done, cos they were playful and inviting.
i think tho, that cos the sides arent really stuck down? if a sharp thing was placed in it, it might hurt people.
but other then that i realli liked it!
I like how the mechanism of this flat box how you can flat it and turn into a storage box. I love the idea of the different primary colours on each side.
For me this product looks like more suitable for children because of the colours on each side of the box. For children to store toys. I think it will be better to work on the shape of the box for example rather than just a basic rectangular prism it could be a figure 8 or some other fancy shape. But overall a good concept.
