Sink into the box

DIW specializes in high-end print finishing and custom packaging solutions. For their latest sample box I developed a design object that invites people to experience the possibilities of print first-hand. The message printed on the outer box sets the tone: “Sink into the box”.

Inside the outer box you will find six carefully curated samples that immerse you in the world of finishing techniques and special papers: hot foil, embossing, spot varnish, and more. Each piece highlights a different technique and demonstrates the precision and craft behind DIW’s work.

To emphasize the quality and flexibility of their production, we developed a custom lettering system. Each box features a unique letter, while additional custom characters appear across the text throughout the set – creating a typographic system that reflects the individuality and adaptability of DIW’s printing capabilities. TWK Lausanne by Weltkern works as a neutral and sturdy base typeface in contrast to the rest of the typography.
