Solution Stages:
1. 4-Point Pan Design with Slotted Alignable Corners:
MAT Packaging Solutions aimed to solve the alignment problem by revising the packaging design. The corners of the building materials are optimized to fit into the packaging with a slotted 4-point pan design to ensure healthy placement of the products during transportation.
2. Corners that can be aligned with brackets:
