K-Cup Pod Dispensary

Big club stores such as Costco are often left with piles and cartloads of empty boxes that go straight into the recyclables once used by their consumers. The K-Cup Dispensary is here to give these boxes a second chance at being brought into your home for a useful purpose! Avid coffee consumers love the coffee cup pods that allow for an easier lifestyle with just an insert of a pod into a Keurig machine, and the K-Cup Dispensary is here to help coffee lovers with a simple, yet effective way of organizing these pods. Once a consumer buys the Kirkland Signature K-Cup Pod from their local Costco, many are left with a huge empty box; however, with the new redesign, consumers are able to break down the box and create two mini dispensaries. This allows consumers to simultaneously organize these pods and decorate their kitchens at the same time without having to deal with the hassle of dealing with a large carrier. The K-Cup Pod Dispensary is made entirely out of corrugated material and does not require extra tools or supplies to create. Once bought and opened, the consumer will notice that there are dashed lines on the inside of the box which allow the consumer to easily punch out the shape of the dispensary. The sides of the dispensary are connected with a puzzle-like fit and have teeth that allow the corners to hold onto each other for support. This design can easily be applied to other Kirkland brand coffee pods which allow customers to collect dispensaries of different designs and brands to decorate and organize their homes with.
