Danish Tea Bag Wallets – We were asked by Danske Tea and Coffee to develop a distinctive wallet that would hold 12 tea bags of varying flavours that would machine pack and would be environmentally friendly. The paper we chose was 200gsm Cyclus offset (100% recycled paper) printed with soya based inks with an emulsion varnish. The wallet style was given large gussets to give it a bag feel and to allow machine shoe loading of the pack (as discussed with their engineers). The distinctive feature of the pack was that it was suspended on the display rack on its corner and presented as a “diamond”. This all gave the product its uniqueness. Through product testing of the various flavour bags, it was discovered that the bergamot oil in the orange flavour reacted with the PVA adhesive. A new adhesive was developed with the glue manufacturers. The project went ahead to become an enormous success. Please click on the image to enlarge it. |

4 compartment integral fitting for TyRap trays – for Thos & Betts. The customer had been using 3 sizes of crash lock bottom fold-over top trays with separate complicated fittings for many years and was looking to save money in pre-production assembly times, inventory and carton cost. Here, creative constructional work and the genius of a glueing machine operator found the solution – a one piece pack that did everything. Please click on the image to enlarge it. |

All-in-One photo processing pocket. Here the brief was to cut cost by reducing the number of individual wallets and bags from 7 to 1. The pack had to have a detachable sequentially numbered voucher, a secure recess for the APS spool, space for digital flash cards and CD’s, take 35mm rolls and 72 prints, have the same number on the pocket for traceability, be re-sealable at least 6 times, be large enough to take the APS panoramic prints, print 4 colours and be writable anywhere. Quite a brief, but we did it, and saved them money. Printing on 170gsm pulpboard, twice through the gluer using a Domino numbering unit bought especially and a very clever adaptation of our peel and seal machinery.
