E-Commerce Closure Design

A leading company, in collaboration with Desall, is looking for an innovative cap for the personal care, cosmetics, and food sectors, specifically designed for e-commerce sales. The cap must ensure shock resistance during transport while also providing an easy and intuitive opening experience for the user.
The solution should engage and attract consumers through a multisensory approach or, alternatively, through innovative features that enhance the overall user experience.
To develop an effective and innovative closure for the e-commerce sector, the project should follow these key principles:
- Compatibility: The cap should preferably be compatible with threaded bottle necks and/or press-fit necks.
- Plastic reduction: Minimize non-essential components and optimize the design.
Guaranteed security and sealing: The cap must withstand transport-related stress without requiring additional seals.
- Simplified design: Avoid complex structures that increase costs and make the product harder to use.
- Ease of recycling: Use a single component or easily separable parts to improve sustainability.
- Cost optimization: Incorporate efficient manufacturing solutions and reduce the need for secondary packaging.
- Customization: Possibility to add a logo or the customer’s brand name.
- Ease of use (optional): Consider the possibility of one-handed opening.
