Abstract: The output value of mechanical and electrical products(MEP) packaging accounted for more 1/3 of the total domestic packaging. Excessive and unreasonable packaging has generated serious environmental and economic problems. Considering the packaging of low-carbon and cost issues in front of the life-cycle of MEP packaging, the model of concept design for MEP packaging based on low-carbon and cost constraint is proposed. The low-carbon design boundary and parameters about MEP packaging in the packaging concept design stage are discussed. The rules and methods for low-carbon and cost of MEP packaging concept design are provided. And the low-carbon efficiency is identified as the evaluation criteria of packaging design of MEP. The case study of gasoline shows its detailed packaging conceptual design method and model based low-carbon and cost constraint.
