Standard Shipping is a design challenge where participants create products that fit within the standard envelopes and packaging of PostNL (or any local postal system) to minimize shipping costs.
Postal packaging design challenge
Shipping products to a design festival can be one of the most significant expenses, especially for international participants. This cost is often driven up by the need for specialized packaging or shipping methods to ensure that items arrive safely at the exhibition.
To make shipping more affordable and convenient, postal services offer standardized pricing based on specific packaging dimensions. By using these predefined packaging limits, we are challenging designers from The Netherlands, Sweden, and America to develop fun and creative products that fit within these restrictions. This approach not only reduces shipping costs but also pushes the boundaries of innovative design within a practical framework.
