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.

    Crate
    Low-sided crate for fruit and vegetables. Usually it is made of a rigid material such as wood or plastic or corrugated board.

    Depending on the load being carried, the sides can be of various heights.
    Some models feature folding sides that can be lowered to minimise the overall dimensions when empty.
    It is also known as a plateau.
    Cassetta
    Contenitore di forma ampia e con sponde basse, senza coperchio, realizzato solitamente in legno, in cartone ondulato o in plastica. È utilizzata comunemente per trasportare frutta e verdura.

    A seconda del contenuto trasportato, le sponde possono assumere diverse altezze.
    Esistono alcune versioni con sponde pieghevoli abbattibili, per ottimizzare l 'ingombro quando vuote.
    Viene chiamata anche plateau.
