RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Research around behaviour and attitudes of bike riders was necessary to identify best means of communication benefits of the product.
The product of the packaging was key to supporting all of the clients criteria. For product visibility we selected a frosted film, to highlight the black product we laminated a red film to the reverse side of the foil. Using foil, coloured film and frosted film together enabled us to achieve the exact look we wanted and reduce the number of cylinders required to print, therefore affording the client reduced production costs.
CHALLENGE: The project spanned over a two year period, due to the product development, which made maintaining continuity of thought more challenging.
