Case 08 · packaging

Packaging — from dieline to shelf

Five packages from the everyday life of the resort: own-brand products, a welcome gift, the spa line, a wedding favour and the house wine. Each one is shown the way packaging design actually runs — first the construction (a 1:1 dieline with cut lines, creases and bleed), then the artwork laid out across the panels, and finally the finished product. The dielines are generated programmatically in millimetres, ready to open in Adobe Illustrator.
