Practical example: Custom cardboard packaging for seeds with twenty designs
A supplier of flower and herb seeds was looking for custom cardboard packaging that customers could fill and seal themselves. In addition, the packaging had to be completely plastic-free, and there was a need for many different designs in small runs.
The biggest problem was practical in nature. The packaging had to be easy to seal, while small seeds were not allowed to fall out of the packaging during storage, transport, or sale. At the same time, the packaging also had to match the natural look and feel of the brand.
PurePack developed an envelope-shaped packaging from PaperWise, a material made from agricultural waste. By adding an extra fold line across the full width, the seeds stayed better in the packaging. The peel-and-seal closure made manual filling and closing simple for the user.
By cleverly combining twenty designs on different print sheets, offset printing could be used, which kept printing costs manageable and ensured the flower illustrations were reproduced sharply and in vibrant colour.
The result was a cardboard packaging that connected to the customer's filling process and offered sufficient flexibility for a wide range of products with many different designs.
Praktijkvoorbeeld: bedrukte kartonnen koker voor een premium drankverpakking
Een producent van dranken zocht een bedrukte kartonnen koker die dezelfde premium uitstraling had als de fles zelf. De verpakking moest onderdeel worden van de merkbeleving en geschikt zijn voor een relatief kleine oplage.
De uitdaging zat in de details. De bedrukking op de koker moest naadloos aansluiten op de bedrukte flessenhals en de verpakking moest exact passen bij de afmetingen van de fles.
PurePack adviseerde over formaat, kartonkwaliteit en druktechniek. Vervolgens werd een volledig bedrukte kartonnen koker op maat ontwikkeld waarbij kleuren, materiaal en afwerking aansloten op de uitstraling van het product.
The result was een premium verpakking die ook in kleinere aantallen geproduceerd kon worden en de presentatie van het product versterkte. De luxe uitstraling sloot beter aan bij de positionering van het werk en viel direct op in het schap.
