Venture Packaging

For the Cricut Venture I worked closely with a packaging design firm in order to communicate critical areas on the machine that needed protection. Through this process I was able to learn a lot about different packaging materials such as kraft corrugate, EPP foam, PET thermoformed trays, EVA foam, polybags and desiccant sizing. After product launch I was also involved in some regulatory packaging efforts to remove certain foams that did not meet environmental compliance.

In addition to helping with the packaging design, I also was responsible for reviewing drop test data and helping determine pass fail criteria based on the ISTA 3A drop testing procedure. In addition, I helped define and review compression testing to ensure that the packaging could handle container shipment and warehouse storage stacking requirements.
