Fun Package Design with SU
-
Not that I do much or any of this but recently asked to do a packaging design for a handbag / shoe accessory range. Turned out to be a lot of fun!!
I expanded on the existing "pillow box" type package to create a form that I HOPE clearly demonstrates the purpose of the product.
The outer package and inner product support are a simple one piece from flat sheet, folded and punched - then a printed inner sleeve and string handle inserted.
The inner product support and clear construction is to allow the product to be viewed over the bag, shoe or garment without removal.

Richard, I like!
How did the shoe accessory designs turn out?

Hey thanks Mike!
Just doing the package mate! I'm not one for designing fashion items - they'd all be brown, grey and black!
Still waiting to do a mock-up of the package.

Truly fine design!Dale - you've actually knocked me for six! Thank you for considering this as "fine design" - Must say I ws pretty chuffed with my own solution there, particularly as my first package design and something I actually have little knowledge about, my second will I hope later this year be in the hands of every designer around the world - more on that later!. The client was actually so impressed, feeling that their venture is now to be at a whole new market level and way beyond their expectation.
From their thinking and to some degree my attempt - people will be drawn to the package as much as the product! Also that the cuteness will add to the on counter "point of sale" display opportunities. The rough cardboard knockup proved the bottom heavy form sits very stable. The actual size is slightly larger than a clutch purse so the handbag styling suits and very well demonstrates the product intent!
Thank you again Dale!
