Pringles Container
By: Jacob Wilson & Blake Kotrla
Step 1: Define The Problem
The Problem
• To design and build a container that would house the delicate Pringles chip.
• After designing the container, we needed to send the container through the Postal Service to Conant High School in Hoffman Estates.
• To receive the maximum amount of points, the chip inside the container would need to arrive upon its destination, unscathed.
Define the Problem
Step 2: Brainstorming
Our Brainstorming• Box with shredded paper • In chip dip • Wrapped in duct tape • Clay mold • Bubble wrap container • In water • In a shoe with tissues • Pringle shaped box • Plastic printer container
• Clay box with knife to open
• Surround by cement • Inside a pillow • Wrapped in polyester• Box fill with gummy
bear • In jello • Dvd container

Step 3: Research & Generate Ideas
Three Primary Ideas
• 1. Pillow/Cotton Ball Stuffing- We want to make a container, probably a old soup can or even a wood box. Then we would insert the chip, and fill the container with the stuffing from inside a pillow.
• 2. DVD Container- We would take and old DVD container and hollow it out. Then we would insert the chip and because it would fit snugly inside, it would not break.

• 3. Clay Mould- Similar to the DVD, we would make a mould out of clay and place the chip inside of the mould.

Step 4: Identify Criteria and Constraints
Criteria
• The box and chip both had to arrive safely• The box or envelope which you used to ship the
container had to come from the USPS and be a flat-rate box.

Design Matrix
Name Simplicity Cost Sturdiness Size Total
DVD 2 1 2 1 6
Pillow 3 2 3 3 11
Clay Mould 3 3 1 2 7
• Simplicity• 1: Most simple, requires little to no assembling. • 2: Requires some assembling and little knowledge
of how each piece works• 3: Requires lots of assembling and correct
placement of the Pringle.
• Cost• 1: The least expensive• 2: The 2nd least expensive• 3: The most expensive
• Sturdiness• 1: Very sturdy and difficult to break the container
and the chip inside.• 2: Somewhat sturdy and can take a moderate
amount of damage.• 3: normal sturdiness that takes little damage
before breaking.
• Size• 1: Very small and can fit in an envelope.• 2: Relatively small and can fit in an envelope/box.• 3: Small and can fit in a small box

Step 8: Model or Prototype

Step 9: Testing
Testing
• We took the chip inside it’s safety chamber and threw it 10-20 feet in the air several times.
• We checked the chip after every throw and the chip survived every impact with the ground.
Step 12: Communicate Results
Final Results
• The casing for the chip proved to be stable and durable and did not need any refining after the first testing run. We sent the case though the mail and it safely arrived at Conant High School.
