At Vienna's \u201eGraphische\u201c, a vocational secondary school, young people can complete a vocational training programme in a media profession in addition to their A-levels. Two graduates from the print and media technology department developed packaging for cut flowers as their final project and have now been honoured for their diploma project.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The H\u00f6here Graphische Bundes-Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt in Vienna, or \u201ethe graphic<\/a>\u201c, is the only one of its kind in Austria in which pupils Complete your A-levels and at the same time train in graphic and communication design, photography and audiovisual media, multimedia or print and media technology<\/strong> become.

\u201eFor our thesis, we developed packaging in which cut flowers can be transported well protected, but which is not simply disposed of afterwards, but has a second use. Our idea was therefore to use the packaging as a vase. To do this, the inside is lined with a water-impermeable cover made of stone paper.\u201c<\/p>

\u201eWe have developed two versions of Innovase: a commercial version that can simply be clipped together and a high-budget version that is a little more elaborate and has a bayonet catch. It is intended for festive occasions such as weddings or birthdays. The main focus of commercial packaging should be on everyday use and focusses more on sustainability. For the high-budget version, we prioritised visual impact and aesthetics.\u201c<\/p>

Both versions are characterised by their Hexagonal honeycomb structure can be easily stacked for transport<\/strong>. \u201eAbove all, we wanted to develop packaging that can be unfolded quickly and easily and that is also stable and durable.\u201c Both versions do not require any glue and are simply clipped together.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The project has a good chance of being realised by Fleurop Interflora Austria. The company was not only a sponsor, but also a client for Innovase. \u201eAt our school, it is customary for each diploma group to look for a client for their project as well as other sponsors. And our project supervisor Walter Rauscher was a great help to us in realising the project and a great support.\u201c The Austrian Print and Media Association (VDM)<\/a> has now honoured the Innovase project as the best diploma project with a golden Gutenberg and a prize.<\/p>
