Title: Well-being monitor Synza - medicine packaging

Synza packaging is a response to the growing number of cases of mental disorders, their stigmatization, and the deteriorating condition of Polish psychiatry. With daily use of the tablet, we peel off the sticker, marking how we feel, thanks to which we also know that the dose has not been missed. We combine the filled packaging without the blister with another one. In this way, we create a history of our well-being which is not only a help for the patient but also a source of information for the doctor.

Title: Opkiel – packaging for glasses

The packaging was designed for two glasses. They are placed vertically on top of each other. This is a "tailor-made" packaging. The glasses are fixed in it thanks to the selected dimensions as well as the closures and properties of the paper. They are separated from each other by a protective element so that they do not bump into each other. Concave elements fill the empty spaces, supporting the glasses. This packaging is made of one piece of paper, without the use of glue, and generates a small amount of waste.
