We believe in cost-saving and where possible, we make recommendations regarding substrates, use of colours, special effects, such as varnishes and foils, that could impact on the print cost and pass these suggestions and ultimate savings back to the client.

WHIRLPOOL WATER FILTER

Sonoco Display and Packaging has been recognised with a WorldStar 2015 Packaging Award for its Whirlpool® Water EveryDrop™ water filter package by the World Packaging Organisation (WPO).

 

This new-to-the-market product reinvents packaging for on-the-go water filters. The water droplet shape of the clamshell cavity positions the filter so the outer graphics clearly communicate what it is, how it works and the many ways to use this innovative product. Additionally, the outer printed sleeve attracts shoppers to a 3-D printed water droplet effect and refreshing graphic colour scheme.

SPINE VODKA

Spine Vodka was a private project by Johannes Schulz after his graduation from an international communication design school in Hamburg, Germany. Taking the name of the brand literally, he created a widened bottle that holds a spine with full ribcage to communicate a product with a “backbone”. He kept the rest of the bottle design simple so as not to distract from the intricacy of the glass human skeleton.

 

A drink that lives up to its promise – honest and strong, and the transparent glass stands for a product that doesn’t have anything to hide.

 

This Concept is a Nominee for the 2015 German Design Award.

GLOJI MIX

Gloji Mix is boasted as one of the healthiest drinks available. Each bottle of Gloji Mix is said to contain juice from hundreds of berries, as well as from pomegranate, which is rich in vitamins and minerals. Gloji’s primary claim to fame however, is the unique light bulb shaped bottle it comes in. This style is meant to represent Gloji’s ability to “light you up” from the inside out.
