Coca-Cola 48 Hour RePack
Each year Coca-Cola has a 48 hour
packaging challenge. The challenge
is done in teams of 5, and we decided
to take this on as a class and have
two teams. The challenges we chose
were to make plastic free rings for
Coke cans and to make a strawless
juice box for Minute Maid. One team
was dedicated to the coke cans and
the other one to the minute maid
boxes. I was a part of the team that
worked on the plastic free coke rings.
We decided to make the rings/carrier
out of chipboard because it’s sturdy
and recyclable. The main goal was
to make the carrier out of one piece
of chipboard, no extra pieces, no
adhesive. We managed to make the
6-pack and 8-packs out of one large
sheet of chipboard, which was also
very inexpensive.
The Minute Maid team managed to
get rid of the straw for the packaging.
The “straw” was now a part of the
packaging as the lip of the box.
