In this packaging of sports ball the unique Prizm design consists of a series of ten alternating equilateral triangular panels that when formed, the antiprismatic band creates an open geodesic socket that allows the ball and packaging to hold onto each other naturally, with minimal material, high product visibility and an intuitive reusable latching mechanism –all achieved with conventional corrugated fiberboard and a simple folding-gluing process. The final product demonstrates advancement in the packaging of sports balls while reducing cost, minimizing carbon footprint, enhancing product appeal to consumers, and elevating the brand to stand out among its competition
