Streamlined Snack Holders

These Chiquita Teasers Keep Your Banana Safe From Bruising in Your Bag

— January 14, 2012 — Art & Design
Bananas may come with their own natural packaging, and while peels keep them clean, they cannot offer protection from the heavy objects bouncing around with them in a backpack. The solution is this slick line of Chiquita Teasers by Remorkable, providing a strong and streamlined shell for foods that are a little soft on the inside.

A couple of these Chiquisafe products are aesthetically more polished than another of the line's tropical fruit sheathes. The easy-to-open polymer banana clutch and its many-flapped counterpart in this collection make great snack holders for children's knapsacks. They are soft to the touch and firm, yet flexible.

It seems that it many ways, the sleeker Chiquita Teasers by Remorkable are inspired by cases for sunglasses. With hard exterior hulls and spongey interior cushioning, they would look a little more sophisticated when withdrawn from a briefcase at work.
Trend Themes
1. Sleek Snack Packaging - Manufacturers can innovate by creating new, streamlined food packaging that is both strong and aesthetically pleasing.
2. Soft and Firm Material - Companies can experiment with materials that are soft to the touch, yet flexible and firm to provide optimal protection for delicate food items.
3. Inspiration From Sunglasses Cases - Using design conventions for sunglasses cases, companies can create sophisticated, protective packaging for a variety of goods.
Industry Implications
1. Food Packaging - The food packaging industry can develop new solutions for protecting delicate food items and snacks while providing high-quality aesthetics.
2. Children's Accessories - Companies can create and market snack holders specifically tailored to children's needs for school backpacks and lunchboxes.
3. Fashion Accessories - Fashion accessory companies can expand their product offerings by creating designs for protective cases for everything from food items to electronics.
