Design and Creating Prototypes for Environmental Packaging from Vetiver Grass Paper to Suitable Community Products

Abstract

The objectives of this research are 1) to study the suitability of community products that can use vetiver grass paper materials as packaging 2) to design and create packaging prototypes from vetiver grass paper suitable for community products 3) to assess the level of satisfaction Consumer satisfaction with the packaging prototype from vetiver grass paper Method of conducting research by producing and selling 5 groups of community enterprise products in Ko Kret Sub-district Pak Kret District Nonthaburi Is a case study by analyzing data with the conceptual framework There are experts in packaging design. And experts in natural packaging, evaluating the results of the draft design in 3 forms To 1 format to create a prototype of packaging from vetiver grass paper By using statistical methods, percentage, mean () and standard deviation (S.D.). The community products that are suitable are Kaem Chaamongkut, Kanom Charmanchan, and Thong Thong-ngak. Packaging is a vetiver grass used as a raw material for the production of pulp according to the traditional method. Found that the physical properties were close to the pulp-based paper Produced as a patterned paper of vetiver grass leaves. Inside the paper, the paper is beautiful. And then take the paper from the vetiver grass that has gone through the trial process Test the packaging materials according to ASTM Method D2013 = 75.75% in the design and prototype of packaging from vetiver grass paper to be suitable for community products. Found that the second model, which was inspired by a cookie candy box The shape and pattern represent Thai. Can be arranged in a variety of styles There is a very good overall level (= 4.81, S.D. = 0.40) in the evaluation of consumer satisfaction with the packaging prototype from vetiver grass paper suitable for community products. Found that consumers were satisfied at a high level (= 4.24, S.D. = 0.52)
