Collab; Box Production

Net

Though we'd been through a lot of different variations of net designs and alterations we decided in the end to go for a more standard box shape. This would be the easiest to pack with things like our A5 publication, as well as being easy to post and handle. It also allowed us to spend more time on the final production of the box and would allow for ease of mass production in theory.

Process

To begin the process I measured out and cut the box net out of some card stock we had chosen. I used a template previously made by Izzie as reference and used measurements slightly over A5 so our box would fit snuggly together. 

Once this stage was completed we took it to screen print, due to tight deadlines and a shortage of time when we arrived to screen print the only available screens were A3 format. Because of this our box wasn't entirely covered in the pattern we'd designed. Though this seemed like a step backwards it was an obstacle we would be able to overcome through consideration during the filming of our product.

Stock wise we chose something sturdy that could be posted and packaged with no damage, the downside of this however was the grain didm't work fantastically for scoring and folding. If more time had been available we would have conducted more stock sample experiments in printing quality, sturdiness and foldabilty. For a prototype and presentation this was successfull enough.

Completion 

We then made a few makeshift separators to sit in the box and organise the contents. This initial prototype mock up was based upon bookbinding so within the box we included helpful tools that the tutor could use to practice the skill themselves before teaching it. We made sure once again that the contents was mostly blue and red to keep the brand consistent. We included;

Thread

Scissors

Pens

Bone folder

Needles

Pin cushion

Introduction letter

Tutorial publication

Stickers

& posters
