Sometimes we are asked to reproduce an 'old' look onto a new dieline for an updated carton. Not only will this Butter Pecan Ice Cream be tastey, but the color of the carton is buttery looking!
After the digital files and color proofs are shipped off to the printer, sometimes a customer will request a sample copy for their own files. Thus, we create a 8 1/2 X 11 sized color proof which won't have to be folded, mutilated, spindled, stapled and stuffed into a file drawer.
We were fortunate to be able to quickly obtain one of the finished cartons - Ta Da! There you have it - from beginning to end (except for the ice cream part).
I'm certain that they printed more than one carton but we are grateful whenever a customer sends us a finished product, which Gifford's Ice Cream was so kind to do. Now that our mouths are watering, let's take an ice cream break!
After that slight detour to the Asphyxiation Shop, we are returning to our project, as we should.
You've watched this project progress from design options to the breathtaking contest wondering which one would win. Next we took the chosen design and laid it out on the correct dieline (no small task).
Have you ever wondered what the art work for ice cream packaging (on a half gallon lock-end die) looks like? Well, here it is!
We can create a packaging keyline in approxamately 3 weeks - from the time the order is placed until the final contract proof is shipped to the customer for final approval. We keep our production schedule (and ourselves) on task and on time.
