Barfoot&Thompson — International Property Awards 2018 to present time
Our challenge
To create high end packaging for a global award entry, achieving prestige and impact while staying within strict size and weight restrictions.
The journey
We undertook a highly collaborative approach with client and suppliers. A variety of substrates and techniques were investigated including buckram cloth, flatbed printing, Digicut high density foam, leather books, foiling. The solution – a box within a box featuring exposed printed external graphics, a hinged lid, internal foam housing and leather booklets. Extensive proofing meant approvals were based on actual samples, and test printing ensured that the size was a perfect fit for its contents.
Points of pride
Dedicated project management and the creation of a beautifully finished product, within budget, specification and deadline.
Cherry on the cake
Barfoot&Thompson won Global Real Estate Agency of the Year as well as numerous individual category winners.

SkyCity’s Masu – Bespoke Menus
Our challenge
To create a sensory set of bespoke leather menus, incorporating specific colour and finishing requirements.
The journey
The client had a specific ‘look and feel’ in mind; we set about achieving this without compromise, working with multiple suppliers to create a unified end result. Customisation was key. Bespoke leather, custom die colouring, laser etching and tailored corner, eyelet and elastic construction combine to create a rich, tangible final effect for the series.
Points of pride
Delivery of a fully customized menu solution that adds value to the SkyCity brand and offers a memorable touchpoint for guests.

The journey

Delivery was via a series of mock up samples, test proofs and design consultation to achieve the final successful result.
