|---|---|---|
 The sides peel down as you eat, so your overstuffed burrito stays in one piece. |  Closes back up so you can save some for later. |  Initial brainstorming of different designs. Hamburgers and burritos seem typically messy, so I focused on those. |
 Sketches of a potential flat pattern and latch mechanisms. |  |  First rough prototype to test out the end closures. |

 Second paper prototype. Addition of handles, different latches, and end closures. |  View showing top latch. |  Sides tear down as you eat the burrito. |
Burrito Tote
For this assignment, I was tasked with designing and manufacturing a dual purpose container that transforms from one state to another. The inspiration given was Chinese takeout boxes, which transform from a box to a plate. The transformation cannot require tools. The container must be made of paper and no adhesives or tape was allowed.
