Name of Entry
Carter's Dairy Milk

Comments
Cody has designed a milk pack addressing packaging accessibility issues. A larger surface area allows for an easy opening mechanism that does not require the removal of a lid. The base of the bottle has a slight curve added directly below the opening to allow the user to slightly and easily tip the bottle to extract the contents. This movement also gives the user greater control of the product and flow of the milk. The handle is used as a support and can sit on the back of their hand, giving a wider surface to distribute the pressure and weight of the bottle.
