CHOICE Magazine have recently implemented a campaign called Pack Attack to stamp out frustrating, difficult and dangerous packaging for consumers.
The most popular so far have been "The Clamshell" which requires scissors to open, "The Glass Jar" which requires a lot of strength and "Imprisoned Toys" which are frustrating and time consuming due to the many wires, cable ties, cardboard and plastic elements.
They also found the most difficult packaging was most problematic for people suffering from arthritis, poor eyesight and reduced hand strength. This led to many consumers suffering from deep cuts, broken or chipped teeth, bruises and broken nails.
Further research is still being conducted which will be interesting to follow through the duration of the assignment and well after.
