CD Packaging: How to modify


Drew up a total of eight modifications, which are my developments, today.

There were some really adventurous developments and some not so adventurous ones. I went for the development that had a balance on both being fun and being doable. This is the finger trap modification for a standard tato box.

Basically, you have the main parts of a standard tato on both side, which gives you both sides of the trap. The challenge here is making a crease pattern that lets both sides have a closed end while leaving a hollow between for the CD. It must also be strong and sturdy, making the middle part a particular concern in the strength of the structure.

More things to decide on would be how many pleats I would want in the tato in relation to the hole for the trap, the strength of the whole thing including how well it closes up the box, and how all that works with the CD inside.
