From Plain to Premium

Published: December 01, 2006

Each year in-house, independent, and private-label package designers receive a “Toolbox”containing product samples from suppliers and converters. The 2006 edition features silver, 92-ga brushed film from Brushfoil applied to a 14×14×12-in. carton. Brushfoil says the Toolbox was an opportunity to show how the brushed chrome finish can turn a plain box into a product with a premium look. Hazen Paper Co., Holyoke, MA, applied an acrylic lacquer and sheeted to size the single-face, e-flute carton. Ares Printing & Packaging, Brooklyn, NY, did the printing, final lamination, die-cutting, and gluing.
