The product packaging was chosen to

be modified so that it can be put in
shelves, easily opened, and weighs less.
The original product however has
requires less surface area. Size,
dimensions, width, lengths, heights, and
diameters of a packaging can be
changed to form a new packaging even
though the volume stays the same.
