Featured Packaging Prototyping Work
With one of the most advanced prototyping teams in the country, we bring packaging concepts to life with precision, craft, and speed — from a single high-fidelity mockup to thousands of fully assembled and fulfilled kits.
Yellow Rose Distillery
Specialty Finishing · Packaging Prototypes · Fulfillment & Kitting
To commemorate Yellow Rose Whiskey’s 10th anniversary, we developed premium secondary packaging worthy of the milestone. Working closely with the brand to refine specialty papers, embossing, debossing, foils, and finishes, our team hand-painted over 2,700 tubes to match the Yellow Rose brand color before fabricating a specialty foam base and assembling a commemorative booklet. The result was a collector-worthy package that celebrated a decade of craft whiskey with the same care that goes into every bottle.
Mars
Packaging Mockups · Sales Samples · Assembly & Fulfillment
To support Mars’ seasonal lineup, our team printed, assembled, and fulfilled over 6,500 sales sample mockups across multiple brands and formats — including slim packs, trays, and multi-pack flow wraps. Leveraging our Indigo press for high-fidelity digital printing and specialty finishes, we delivered production-accurate samples against a tight deadline. The result: visually compelling mockups that empowered Mars’ sales team to deliver standout retailer presentations and build excitement for upcoming launches.
Barilla
Sales & Influencer Kit · Structural Design · Digital Renderings · Fulfillment & Kitting
To launch Barilla’s premium Italian sauce line, we developed a custom sales kit designed to spark excitement among chefs and influential social media personalities. Our team managed every detail from concept through fulfillment: exploring creative directions rooted in Italian culinary tradition, producing high-fidelity digital renderings to accelerate stakeholder approvals, and assembling and shipping over 150 kits from our Chicago studio.
