Product design is one of the most central components when developing a new invention. It is always important to have a strong product design, as it draws consumers in and makes a dynamic first impression. At MAKO Invent we believe that product design should be visually appealing, while at the same time relate back to functionality and fill a market need. Having a product that is both easy to use and has a positive impact is a major factor in the overall impression of a consumer product. A product design that has all of the above characteristics and more is the Crush N Count. The Crush N Count does exactly what its name reads; it crushes cans while counting them simultaneously. Not only is it a fun, simple and effective product, the Crush N Count is eco-friendly and is a North American made unit helping to bring long-term environmental change to Canada and the USA. For these reasons, MAKO has taken the appropriate steps needed to turn this product design into a user friendly, functioning consumer product.
How does this Product Design Work?
The Crush N Count’s product design is made up of a durable construction of metal and nylon materials that features an ergonomic handle for comfort. Simply lay a can down within the confines of the device and pull back on the crushing arm. The can will then be crushed into a compact form and distributed on the other end of the device into a recycling bin or bag. The unit has long-term wear and tear and has been designed with consumer safety and functionality as its number one priority. The product design of the Crush N Count is equipped with a digital counter, saving you from the hassle of counting each can. What’s more, the Crush N Count allows home consumers to manage their recycling, and helps restaurants and bars manage their bar space. Both consumers and restobars benefit from transporting more cans to the Beer store without hassle, saving them time and energy while enabling financial profit. This not only benefits your wallet but also benefits the environment, as returned cans are recycled into new ones.
