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.

Clamshell Pack
A Clamshell Pack is single‑piece packaging structure comprising two complementary shells connected by an integral hinge, designed to close onto itself to form an enclosure for a product
The shells and the hinge are formed from a single continuous piece of material, which may be thermoformed plastic, molded fibre, or die‑cut and folded paperboard.
Confezione con apertura a conchiglia
Una confezione a conchiglia è una struttura monopezzo composta da due gusci complementari collegati da una cerniera integrata, progettata per chiudersi su se stessa e formare un involucro per un prodotto.
I gusci e la cerniera sono formati da un unico pezzo continuo di materiale, che può essere plastica termoformata, fibra stampata o cartone fustellato e piegato.
