Below is the net / development of the packaging. The packaging folds
and locks in position. After use, the packaging can be placed in a card
recycling bin. Closed Loop Recycling ensures that the discarded card is recycled into new packaging for the similar products. The packaging is cut to size and shape through ‘die cutting’. The colour, images and information will be printed on to the card using a technique called lithography, using biodegradable inks. |

| These are images that I intend to use on the packaging. They promote a healthy diet. The product name will be ‘Energy’, due to the fruity ingredients, that will ‘energise’ the person drinking the juice. | |

Biodegradable inks based on vegetable oils (such as soya oil, sunseed
oil or rapeseed oil), can be used to apply any text and graphics. These
are naturally biodegradable. Modern biodegradable pigments are based on yellow, red and blue primary colours. Flexographic inks are water rather than oil based and include a biodegradable polymer called polyhy-droxyalkanoate (PHA). |
