Thank you very much for the nice comments and for loving it dseinhor ;)))

Thank you!

Thanks ;))

I am very glad you like it! I will try to find a more suitable material for this project, thanks for the advice, it always welcome;)

Thank you Lee, I appreciate that:))

Thanks guys, glad you like it;))

I have to disagree, it is completely stack-able and stable , it is absolutely not heavier that any existing crate neither does it need a great amount of material , and if we all used all of the coca cola elements in our shapes many of the crates would look almost the same, but thanks for your comment and keep it up with your idea and good luck ;))

Thanks Kristina so much, glad you like it;))

Thanks Tatjana very much for loving it, i appreciate that;))

Glad you are interested. Yes there are news I did the change of the material into biodegradable plastic, also a transparent version of the crate and insured that the crates are easily stacked and stable as well as the bottles. As for the side protection , they ( the bottles) are protected with the separation rings and separator but I will also try to increase that with one more variant of this same crate. The handles are comfortable because of the smooth plastic, and so the crate is easy to carry, I will work on a better render angle so its easier for you to see. Thanks again and stay tuned!

Thanks shubham3663 ;))

Thank you very much lolawetter ;))

I am glad you think the same way, thank you Paola;))

I think that that isn't a problem, and if it is it's fixable. This is however a Coca Cola -concept- crate design. Thanks for the comment.

The term -concept- it is possible to explain any minuses of the project;)

Yes, but as I said this isn't a problem. The stacking is very easy to understand.

Excuse, I have understood all, really excellent work!

Here's a new one( update) hope you like it even more, thank you for support caguana ;))

Thank you very much bonibom, So glad you like it;))

Thank you very much ;)), good luck to you too!

A standard euro pallet size 80x120

Thanks, it easily stacks;)

Thank you Sasha again;)

Thank you so much vanjolina!;)) Hvala vanjko;*

Thank you very much;) the crates with two handles are already in use.

Thank you Sasha very much;), glad you like it:)))

Thanks miskopisko20:))

Only this idea!?!??!?

Thanks ????????;)

Thank you Christina;)

Thank you Paula very much, glad you like it;)

Thanks!

Thank you very much;)) glad you like it! Hvala;)))

Thanks for the nice comment cacoon and support ;))

:D... just spend the half of time and energy that you already did on denigrating this idea for analyzing the drawings and sections I did, and it will all be clear to you.

Thanks zamatao ;)

Thank you Helen ;))

Thank you paostin , glad you like it;))

Thank you Xavier XD !!!

Thanks ;))

Thanks;)

Glad you like the design, I am not an expert on plastic but nowadays pretty much everything can be done. Love your wave idea, and it definitely deserves a higher rank, a clear 10* from my point of view , wish you all the best and good luck to you to?;)

Lets leave that to the experts, shall we? I am not that much into plastic but I did a little research while working on this contest and saw some amazing plastic shapes being made by injection molding, vacuuming, compressing plastic ... You can search it on the internet. Also, I respect you rating, but its really unpleasantly to give away 1* like candies, some of us worked for two month on this contest. Wish you all the best, your Olympic crate looks interesting, good luck with you ideas!

i don't think anything in the contest deserves a 1. but i have to agree your crate is cost prohibitively impossible to manufacture. it doesn't take an expert to know your design won't demould. it has to do with draft angles. your design would require the crate be moulded in separate pieces, then heat welded together. you should have designed it to slot together. so many other top rated entries are worse offenders than you for nonmanufacturability, so i'm not going to fault you much for that aspect.

Hey teigan, yes that is correct, the crate needs to be done in two separate pieces and then welded together, that is not a secret, you can see it in the model and the sections. Maybe there's also another way of doing it which I am not aware of ?

that is the correct way, except because of your multiple undercuts you'd need more than two sections. the better way to do it would have been three pieces total that slot together mechanically without welds. but you'd need to alter the shape of the crate significantly.

I was somehow expecting your comment :D If I have correctly understood, you mean if it is stable enough while stacked when it is empty. If that was your concern, it is. The crates overlap on sides by 1.5 cm, and the recess on the sides bottom has a curve that follows the upper curve( slide 4), and can not fall or slip in any way even without the weight of the bottles inside. Thanks for being interested , teigan :))

no. i am sure it is stable. what i mean is that even when there are no bottles in the crate, it still takes up the same amount of space to store. that places a burden on warehousing and transporting the crates between locations, for example from the crate factory to the bottling an distribution center.

Yes, that's wright, but I haven't considered that as a problem since the current coca cola( and not only coca cola) crates also take the same amount of space with and without bottles inside. That would have been a good idea, but it's too late to do anything about that now:) Hmm, also there would be a stacking problem, the bottles would have to carry the weight in such designs, I am not sure...

the bottles do support the weight on their own. they were engineered that way. if you place a 100lb. weight on a standing bottle, it will not crush. that is more than twice the weight of 15 bottles above it and the sections of 2 wooden palettes.

I am aware of that, they are under pressure and would support that kind of weight, but from the comments of one jury member(AMoelleken) they don't want the bottles to carry the weight only the crates should do that. http://coca-cola.jovoto.com/ideas/20319

you misunderstood. what he means is that once you open the bottles, the seal is broken and the contents are no longer pressurized. try it at home. you can stand safely on a full bottle of coke, but you can't do the same with an empty one without crushing it.

Aha, ok, my bad, haven't understood that correctly;)

you never know. maybe he is the one who misunderstands. it is a common misconception that the bottles can't support weight, because horizontally, the are very squishy and fragile. but he did say "refillable", so let's give him the benefit of the doubt.

Glad we had this conversation, would be nice to have that more often! :)

We were writing at the same time:D, agree with you about the misconception!

we'll collaborate on a pepsi crate.

;)

Danke Yavuz;) I've seen your website and you have some amazing design work and architecture sketches.It seems like lot of fun making the claymodell of the car! You have a unique approach in designing the coca cola crate, wish you good luck!
