This packaging would be suitable for LIGHT product pencils, pens and crayons, square light items, etc. This packaging is designed to be hanged on a display line.
This packaging might need reconsideration with regards to opening and closing.
So the improvement of this packaging would entirely depend on its content. The heavy items wouldn't be suitable because the bottom of that box is not structurally design to hold the weight of a heavy item.
Depending on fragility of a product this packaging might need extra support insert - to hold and cushion the product in place.
MY PACKAGING - ANSWERS:
1) because of my aim - packaging without glue - there will be no need for glue. Hopefully I will design it in a way that the tabs will help with closures and creating handle for this packaging.
2) as of my previous research on material used for my packaging I have reconsidered using biodegradable material purely because of my idea of reusing my packaging. It will be molded pulp material - made of recyclable paper or fibers. And NO glue used.
Ideally I would really like my packaging to be made of mycelium but so far I haven't found a manufacturer who would produce so. Very effective material!
I have researched about it and found that Dell Company plans a pilot to grow their own packaging from mycelium! The technology involves using agricultural waste like cotton seed, wood fiber and buckwheat hulls,which are placed in a mould and inoculated with mushroom spores, so it becomes the root structure of the mushroom and grows into the shape of the mold.
Dell's procurement director Oliver Campbell explained: "It's just as rigid and protective to your desirable gadget as the old materials. We've tested the mushroom cushioning extensively in the lab to ensure it meets our same high standards to safely protect our products during shipment, and it passed like a champ".

Fantastic!
