Students design new carry out wine bag with added protection and convenience.
Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY (1888PressRelease) June 10, 2016 - MBA students from Rennselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) devised a new wine bag for retail use through a yearlong engagement with the Clear View Bag Company of Albany New York.
The students arrived to the Clear View Bag plant in September tasked with finding a need in any market of their choosing that could provide an innovative solution to a common packaging problem. The RPI students narrowed their options down throughout the Fall semester as they dug deeper into end user wants and needs, price points and market size. By the beginning of the Spring semester they decided on new spin on a carry-out wine bag was the one that had the most potential. The Spring semester was spent devising models and prototypes, determining the proper route to the market and pinning down exact costs.
The final "No Roll Wine Bag" prototype, pricing and means to market was presented by the students on May 16, 2016 to an audience of their professors and the Clear View Bag management team. The "No Roll Wine Bag" addresses three main pain points for end users in comparison to brown paper bags: the bubble walls provide protection for wine bottles in transit, the construction of the bag prevents the bottle from rolling and the built in handle provides ease in transport.
Clear View Bag key manager Brian Goodman summed it up in stating "The RPI students have provided us a great start to a new potential product. "We thank them for their time and efforts."
