The sponsor uses high-density polyethylene milk crates an average of 10 times before they are stolen or damaged. The team was charged with designing a cost-efficient milk case that would be acceptable to the sponsor’s customers.
The team’s design solution is an open frame crate that meets all the requirements for safe handling, proper loading of six one-gallon milk containers, support of the required weight, and for common shipping standards.
The new crate is lighter, backward compatible, less likely to be stolen, more cost-effective to produce, and should become as accepted as the current crate by retailers and consumers.
