Morphologies


    Main morphologies of packaging: structural typologies, formal configurations, and design solutions adopted within packaging systems.

    The analysis of morphologies enables observation of how form, structure, and the articulation of components influence functional performance, product protection, logistical dynamics, and user interaction. 

    Considered in relation to materials, production processes, and design strategies, morphologies represent a key dimension for understanding the evolution of packaging solutions and the transformations currently affecting the packaging sector.

    Ampoule

    Wide-mouth Bottle
    A rigid or semi-rigid container, typically of small to medium capacity, featuring a neck finish with a diameter significantly larger than that of a standard bottle. The wide opening is specifically engineered to allow easy access for filling and dispensing solids (such as tablets or capsules), powders, or high-viscosity liquids. It is distinguished from a standard bottle by its flow characteristics and from a jar by the presence of a distinct shoulder and a threaded neck narrower than the container body itself.
    Flacone
    Contenitore rigido o semirigido, generalmente di capacità medio-piccola, caratterizzato da un’imboccatura larga rispetto al corpo del contenitore (collo corto o assente). A differenza della bottiglia classica, il flacone è progettato per agevolare il riempimento e il prelievo di prodotti solidi (compresse, capsule), granulari, polveri o liquidi ad alta viscosità. Il flacone si distingue dal barattolo per la presenza di una spalla pronunciata e dalla boccetta per le dimensioni e l’uso prevalente.
