It was felt that cardboard constructed lunchboxes were easier to product on demand, and contained more of an organic character, in keeping with the nature of the park, than plastic lunchboxes with a sticker on. We took the nets of popular cardboard boxes from fastfood restaurants, such as the happy meal box from MacDonalds or the boxes from KFC.
It was found that neither of the boxes could be produced at the same size without using a piece of card larger than A3. We felt that, whilst the KFC box was easier to produce from the net shape, the Happy Meal box is of more use in that it can be reclosed (as can the KFC box) but it also has a handle (which, in the final design, will require changing, as the current one is based round the Macdonalds logo), allowing it to be carried about easier.
Above are the scans of the net layout for each box, as well as a reproduction of the net, with red denoting fold lines and blue denoting cut lines.
