Before I started drawing out the design on the box I really needed to hammer out my box design to the exact measurement and it took me ALL weekend but I finally got the measurements right. (IT TOOK FOREVER). Making pop-up type stuff is hard, I've never really considered it before this project. Now that I have the exact measurements set I will draw my design on top and update on that shortly.
These images above are of my product design, which are phone covers for iPhone 11 Pro. However, unlike normal ones, these ones are made of great plastics that give it great protection for the phone. This ensures that the cover will not break so easily like most covers tend to do.
The big appeal however to it is that the covers themselves can move and animate. The black think button on top, when you press it, will change the cover from the normal blue or purple tinted glass to one of these covers:
These images will be animating on your phone and can even glow in the dark.
More must be done on this project.
Both of these are very simple, just to display the basics of what the ring/band would look like for people interested in buying one. People can then picture their own customizations on the band/ring and take it from there. Both the ring and band have a small black box in them which indicates roughly where the chip would go. For the ring, it would be on the other side of the plate, hidden in between the gem and the base of the top.
Although the design is very simple, I made it in a way that the chip of the card could look like a green emerald on top of the ring.
I am still finalizing my 2D packaging layout as what I want to accomplish with it hasn't been done in this way in this scale before (as far as I have been able to locate). I have literally printed and made it 8 different times now, constantly making small adjustments to make sure the ring fits in the box and opens the way I am wanting it to with the ring twisting out of the box like a popup book. I have found two different youtube videos that have been helpful on how to design it, but both are vastly different shapes than what I am trying to do. SO, that being said I am hoping to hammer the packaging measurements out this weekend and share that with you all.
For my project, the part I wanted to focus on WAS the packaging and not so much the product, as my thought was you could put any ring inside the box. But I did design a ring in tinkercad which took me forever, but I am decently proud of it. Once I make the 3D replica of the box I plan on just using my own wedding band inside of it rather than trying to replicate the tinkercad design as well.
