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.

    Bag-in-box
    Flexible inner bag with dispensing valve inside a rigid outer carton.

    Some retail products are sold this way (3, 5 and 10 litres formats) However, bag-in-box packaging is also commonly used in distribution systems for industrial and hospital products, as well as for the catering and community sectors (capacities of up to 20–25 litres).

    Bag-in-Box packaging
    - reduces the amount of plastic required for a rigid container
    - allows the container to be emptied completely without air entering
    - is not suitable for use in damp environments or on wet surfaces
    Bag-in-box
    Confezione composta da un sacchetto o busta flessibile con valvola erogatrice dentro una scatola rigida.

    Alcuni prodotti confezionati in questo modo vengono venduti al minuto (capacità 3, 5, 10 litri). Tuttavia, i bag-in-box sono comunemente usati anche nei sistemi di distribuzione di prodotti industriali e ospedalieri, destinati alla ristorazione e alle comunità (capacità fino a 20/25 litri).

    Le confezioni Bag-in-Box 
    - permettono di ridurre la quantità di plastica necessaria per avere un contenitore rigido
    - consentono il completo svuotamento del contenitore senza necessità di rientro aria
    - non sono adatte per l’uso in ambienti umidi o su superfici bagnate
