Assignment 1.
Presentation
Entrepreneurship
You are planning to open a side business in your free times and explore the possibility of expanding it to a full-scale business venture if successful. Your main idea is to create and sell fancy boxes for cakes, donuts and lightweight items. Your initial plan is to buy the standard 22" x 28" poster papers (See example) and sell the cut-to-size, ready-to-fold packs of 10 to the prospective customers. Here are the basic restrictions and options:
- 1. Select a fancy design so it has less competition and better market outlook.
- 2. Final design must take advantage of maximum size of the board for each poster board (either 22" or 28") to create the least waste.
- 3. Only the poster board, and in one piece, no adhesive or other holding devices should be used.
- 4. No separate lid or handle, all should be included in your design.
