The Herd-
The Herd will be made of Polypropylene due to it being freezer, microwave and dishwasher safe. Also BPA-free. This is also a low
cost plastic and is easily injection moulded. and the Herd Pods are magnetically sealed, they will be moulded into the pod itself so
wont be seen. The whole thing will be injection moulded apart from the glass that will be the same as the magnets it will be
moulded straight into the pod itself.

The new changes have reduced the cost per unit from £9.25p for 100,000 too £6.05p for 100,000 units and I the new look also
gives a great option in selling it. The new design means you can sell The Herd in two different ways as a whole with 5 pods and
the bored or as a single pod. The sat would wholesale at about £12 and retail at £25, and the single pod would cost £4 pound
wholesale and £8 retail.
