Mock Up: Promotional Box

Promotional Box ideal for company to promote the Amulet Honey range or for a supermarket to promote the amulet range.

The testers are all colour coded to the same as the actual glass jar product to add identity to the company.

The box above is scaled down to 2:1 as the cost of the printers at college would have cost to much so it was produced to as big as I could afford in scale with the actual really box if it went into production.

I really like the photographs with the hay inside it gives it that organic farmers feel towards the product.

Mock Up: Packaging

This is the box to send out to customers who have purchased a jar from our range off the internet. the packaging is based around the idea of the ware house where all the hexagons are stacked on top of each other so all the factory worker can see is the bottom of the packaging with the number of the product on.

The stock would need to be more protective and not scratched as easy, white card 240gsm.

The darker colours were used to reflect the dark brown hexagons in the hive but also works well with the jars colours as well.

Mock Up: Testers

The mock up testers have came out really well. Love the colours and reflects to the colours of the actual jars to buy from stores or online so gives it identity. The testers give all the information the reader needs. These would be produced lithography process because of the amount need to be printed 25,00 and keep for future needs.

Mock Up: Promotional Shirt

T-shirt, there won't be alot of these needed to be printed off maybe 100 in total. I have tried to make a mock up using a silkscreen and help from the technician. However we both noticed that it is harder to get a bright colour print on a dark material than the other way around. This is something to remember for future reference.

Mock Up: Promotional Flyer

Mock up flyers for promotional use when also handing out the testers. Colours reflect the different products in the range referring to the different shades of honey.

Mock Up: Jar

Final mock up for one of the five jars of honey in the range. It could either be printed using PAD or Flexography. I wanted to used self adhesive stock but could only by the stock as a role which was hard to print on because when I laid it out there was bubbles and creases in the stock and couldn't get this stock in sheets. Take this into consideration I think if it was printed in industry it would look really good. I like the lower opacity for the wings as well, only two colour print for the whole range of glass jars!

Stock

The above stock was really thick almost like mood board this was to thick was folding and creasing looked clumsy.
However I found this stock above which had a nice texture and also twice as thin than the mood board which made it realistic the use for the specification of the box
Comparing both stocks.

For the net above I used the creasing machine down at vernon street which made the folds look professional compared to using a bone fold.

A book I purchased from a charity shop from Nottingham. The book is GF Smiths from Hull printers. Just looking at what stock is similar to the above box. 540gsm/ Real Grey /

Development of Glass jar

Dimensions for printing. cm.
I really like the idea of using the colour of the honey as a second colour also saves on printing costs. This print would only be a black and spot colour Pantone Solid Coated 7500c for the whole range of glass jars.
Net for the printers, not sure about how the printers would want to receive the net but I think it would look something similar to above, maybe specification where about on the glass jar where the image wants to lay.

Playing around with the back of the glass jar.

James Examples of printing going wrong

Today with the print session we learnt how important it is to set the right settings on the computer to the correct stock and turn of the printers settings so that the computer does the work. The above images show the different wrong and right ways how to print and you can tell the difference when putting them next to each other.
