Some rough sketches of possible ideas for transporting two containers. The first is a cardboard box, as it is cheap and recyclable, but may not be strong enough to carry two containers of paint, so it could be reinforced with a wooden frame (wooden pallet bottom, framed sides and handle) The wood would act as the strength and the card would act as protection. Could possibly add shredded paper or other insulating material to further protect the contents.
Second idea is a sort of bag for life design, something that can be re-used over and over, made from canvas fabric or woven fibers. Again this design could have added insulators such as shredded paper, or even pulped paper shapes along the bottom and sides to protect from bumps.
The third idea is to have a wooden frame with pallet bottom, that two containers fit into. Eco rope or sting would be tied over the top, allowing it to be easily picked up and moved about. This design is easily stack-able as well, but the wood might not be strong enough to hold a large amount of crates over it.
The fourth idea is a simple card design. The two containers have been wrapped up in corrugated card, fastened without glue, and held with eco string or rope.
Here is the mock up version of my first idea taken by Andy in class, as well as the sheet of comments about it from my peers -
