The 48 Hour Repack is a student design repackaging challenge. Packaging students placed in the top 10 of competitors for 2015 with their redesign of the band-aid package. Working as a team the students created a packaging solution to adhering a band-aid with one hand.
As part of the competition, teams not only had to identify a "bad packaging" scenario, envision and create a redesign, and then submit a video.
See the video below for the winning results:
