introduction

A design study that analyses the openability of supermarket packaging and makes a series of design proposals in order to make packaging easier to open for older users – and consequently everyone. Is it possible for a supermarket chain to develop a strategy for more inclusive packaging without the need for special tools or adaptive appliances to aid the opening of packs?
