Foldwork

A packaging system for a maker who posts everything. One board weight, one die, and a range that grows by folding differently rather than by tooling again.

Two hands squaring a flat plain carton on a table.
Printed at grade 1.85, baked into the file.

The saving is not in the printing, it is in the die. One cutting forme makes the box, the sleeve and the card, so a new product costs a fold and not four hundred pounds.

Nothing is printed on the inside. What is printed on the outside is the minimum a courier needs plus the mark, in one colour, on unbleached board.

A shelf of ink tins, each hand-labelled.
