Prototype Improvements - Twine Sides

Feedback received from the group and Jennie showed that it was a good idea but wasn't entirely plausible with the amount used. Now knowing this i worked on a few more ways I could still use it but make it more appropriate for this brief and more useable in industry. I will also collect a brown twine for the final package to give the more natural/rustic look, CAT had some good bundles made from hemp of this but unfortunately this idea wasn't at this stage for me to know to grab some. I will collect some from Homebase to give it the closest possible look that I would like the final package to have.

Idea Number 1

This first design does the original weaving pattern but reduces the amount of twine used by half and halves the amount of weaves done. This makes it must faster to put together, is still strong enough to support the bottles and cuts the material usage making it cheaper.


Idea Number 2

Looking at the previous idea I wondered if i could progress on it further, I think i have accomplished this. This uses even less twine and less weaves, when tested with the bottles it was capable of supporting the weight of the bottles and still keeping the integrity of the box intact. This can be done in literally seconds making it far more plausible for industry use, it meets Jennie's feedback for making it more useable for WVB and helps it meet the brief. 
This idea will be taken forward.
