Blackbox Case

It is always a challenge to create a product that serves us well in both form and function. This product from Blackbox Case not only protect your laptop, it is aesthetically pleasing. We love the contrast between the wooden case and the aluminum body of the Macbook Pro. Absolutely stunning, but no luck in finding somewhere to get these in the UK...

 

Blackbox cases are strong, light, handcrafted from solid oak with a perfect finish.

This design from Sandstrom Partners for Moonstruck Single Origin is good enough to eat. The different techniques used on the packaging (the illustration and logo is embossed, typography is foiled stamped in purple, and the negative space is silver metallic) enhances the premium look of the brand.

"Super premium Single Origin chocolate bar packaging designed by Chris Gardiner and Jon Olsen of Sandstrom Partners for Moonstruck Chocolate Co. of Portland, Oregon.

Moonstruck Single Origin Peruvian Fortunato No.4 chocolate bar packaging. Moonstruck Chocolate is a Portland, Oregon based company known for making premium handcrafted truffles. This chocolate bar packaging is Moonstruck's fourth entry into the premium, single origin chocolate bar category. The chocolate itself was described as the ultimate in single origin chocolate, so we needed to create a package that reflected this. Our goal was to create a package that families with the current Moonstruck Single Origin chocolate bar collection but would be notably more premium in look and finish. The illustration and typography continue on in Moonstruck's now signature hand-cut paper style. The finishes include: Matte Soft-Touch (Metallic Silver areas). Embossed Glossy Diamond-Kote Varnish (White Illustration + Logo). Purple foil (Typography). "

Dixie Toga Amazing Holographic Collection of Empty Packs

"Casa Rex, one of Brazil’s most creative and awarded design agencies, has designed a unique Holographic Collection of packs as a promotional marketing tool for Dixie Toga — the leading manufacturer of packaging material in Latin America — to enable them to offer holographic packaging solutions to their clients.

 
As the objective was to sell holography for packaging, it would be natural to expect to see holographic packs. But this posed a problem: there was nothing inside the packs and therefore, no theme or concept  that could be explored from a design perspective. Faced with this scenario, instead of developing meaningless dummies posing as real products (a common technique used in the packaging industry), Casa Rex came up with an innovative concept and developed the Dixie Toga Amazing Holographic Collection of Empty Packs, turning the 'no content' issue into the creative idea behind the execution."
