Blue-and-white paperboard prototype of the Casa Mira container.

Development process

A collaborative academic packaging project for a Casa Mira ice-cream container, combining construction, visual identity and physical tests.

Packaging as an experience

The documentation explores a drip-resistant rim, a lid and support features for use. Closure and stacking are considered alongside the overall form.

Testing by hand

Physical prototypes reveal folds and joints differently from a digital model. It was an academic project, not a commission from the brand.
