Main research: Extra

The main idea I have is for the packet to be different, many of the flaws I noticed with the current cardboard packet can be overcome by using an aluminium packet. I noticed this when I looked at this JB-HI-FI gift card holder I was given over Christmas. It uses a sliding rail type design to slide open and closed and a bump in one of the pieces stop the two parts for moving apart. However this is overcome with a slight bit of force when pushing the two pieces in different directions. This packet holds the card well, is much stronger than cardboard but is also still very light. The case opens easily and also holds in place quiet well. There is also enough room for 14 pieces of gum, and unlike the extra packet it does not have the foil thing in the bottom that has proven to be quiet inconvenient when the pieces stick to it. I will upload photo's of the tin later

Pro’s of an alloy tin
- Water proof
- Durable
- Collectable
- Doesn't break apart/tear/bend
- Holds the same amount
- More user friendly
- Recyclable
- Can be re-used
