Quest for a Cryptex
The Challenge
For many years we have had the privilege of creating fun and innovating packaging for one of our favorite customers. In years past we have produced launch kits for their program that range from tackle boxes, to video games, to movie clackers… Coming up with great ideas to match their theme has become an favorite annual ritual around here. This year we were afraid they might have stumped us, but not to be beaten, we went outside of the box with our thinking and partnered with a great company to make a fantastic custom tube design. When We were asked to create packaging that looked like a cryptex (made famous by The Davinci Code), we were a little panicked at first, making boxes round gets a little tricky, but after racking our brains and scouring the country, we found a partner that was able to take our printed sheets and create a 7 piece tube with working puzzle rings.
The Paper Tubes
With the help of some creative people, this kit has it all! Fulfilled with a custom shaped notepad, buttons, stickers, a brochure and poster, these custom launch kits got another years program off to a great rolling start. Whats inside is cool but the packaging that holds it all in is really where the energy is. More than just packaging, this vessel is a fun encoding device for the recipients. With 4 independently turning sections and removable end caps, this piece has the look and feel of a device used in some tomb raiding scenario. Crack the code to unlock the treasure.
Just Ask Voom!
These customizations made this yearly project spectacular once again. The reason most of this came to fruition was simply because the customer asked if we could do this. Once the thought is out and in the open, we do all we can to get it done for you.
