CDM
Stora Enso is developing Controlled Delamination Material - DTM. A new technology for packaging based on using electrically conductive glue.
1. The glue strip is thin but durable ...
2. ... until you add a weak electric current from either a small battery or external power source or through a battery circuit integrated inside the packaging. The electricity makes the glue let go of it's grip and the package is opened.
3. One possible way of activating the electric circuit would be to press your finger onto a switch printed with electric conductive ink directly on the carton.
CDM can be used in a vast area of packaging solutions:
4. Simplify the unpacking procedure either in the storage room or directly on the shelves in the shop.
5. Simplify the opening of sealed consumer packaging.
6. Branding unique solutions.

Material: Interview over the phone with a contact person at the company.
Tools: Illustrator to define the outlines. After that the work was moved to Photoshop for colouring, structures and shadows.
