For this staggered reveal, we collaborated to envision 7 different moments that a thoughtful item would come in handy for the recipients. Each small box or package had a designated prompt - hinting at the best time to open each - and was held in a fully printed shipping box. Each item was hand-picked for recipients to celebrate, share the love, take a deep breath, help ward off imposter syndrome or spark a midday dance sesh.

This VIP mailer was made for hot days, warm bons and cold brews - and included a fully printed beach towel, branded outdoor speaker, custom pool float, branded sunglasses with clings and a case, and an ombré bottle.

This Bachelorette “datenight” box was abundantly cheeky – playing off the idea of the “fantasy suite” and the “final rose” with a personalized satin pillowcase, rose petals ready to be strewn on their bed, rose-scented candle, s’mores kit, rose chocolate bar, caramel log, rose gummies, Prosecco rose drink bomb, custom keychain and doorhanger. Most importantly, we showcased JoJo and Jordan’s personal stationery suite by The Knot as a flatlay on the printed platform.

For this mailer, we put the spotlight on the Fire TV stick (with custom skin) used to access the app that features games to discover #whattowatch together. Recipients opened the doors to reveal insta-ready content for media influencers; a collection of on-palette candy, a cocktail kit and graphic coasters–all presented in custom holders. The entire platform lifted for more treats including the tik tok-favorite "Sunset Lamp” and a perfect popcorn popper paired with a “Variety Show” of kernels.

For their 25th Anniversary, The Knot celebrated RHOBH couple Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky (who were also celebrating their 25th!) on their cover. This mailer, geared toward real Bravoholics, made room for a taste of the good life (ahem) with champagne EVERYTHING (truffles, popcorn, gummies), golden “25” sparklers & matches, the 25th issue, and a custom Shotski for two - personalized with each recipients' name - all held in a custom platform. A voice message from Kyle played upon opening.

This Bean-to-Barista Kit combined the charm of a little Costa Coffee shop mixed with a little brand storytelling and insight into their craft. The lid has a pop-up awning and doors that open to reveal their message. For the main attraction, we created die cut platform “doors” that open to show infographics about the Bean-to-Barista process and the story behind the beans. Beneath the platform is a treasure trove of professional quality tools and everything a barista needs for the perfect pour.

This modern, vibrant mailer was all about encouraging recipients to reflect and write their own story. Illustrating their three core values, we used fresh, simple elements including a live air plant (to breathe life into your values), branded journal (to tell your story) and a branded stylus/pen (to make your mark).

When our client created a new set of internal values, they wanted a creative, comprehensive way to share with all of their employees. We created an assortment of usable accessories that would double as a daily reminder of their value statement. It didn’t hurt that they had bold, colorful graphics and a fun ombré for us to play with. A custom mousepad, notepad and double-sided doorhanger were paired with a set of ombré statement pencils, with a value assigned to each.

For this mailer, the client wanted the emphasis to be on fully integrated packaging that didn’t use any extra fill or materials. We engineered the custom platform to securely hold and present 5 useful protective items: a branded sani-key, branded sunscreen and hand-sani on carabiner, handmade facemask and branded umbrella. *Client logo removed for social media.

Wellness and Self-Care are not just trends. Now, more than ever, a kit that provides small comforts sends the message that “We’ve got you covered”. Amp up everyday self-care with a custom tea blend, honey sticks, immune booster, comfy socks and other small practical luxuries.

Whether you’re asking your staff to travel for work or reassuring guests traveling to a conference or resort, a smart on-the-go kit expresses that you care. All the typical necessities are included plus a few tools to make the journey more comfortable. A travel tea tin, hand sanitizer and surface spray round out a selection of compact goods all held in a useful elastic organizer.

Help them streamline their packing with compact, clever and simple solutions. With an emphasis on portability, practicality and hydration, this kit includes a travel humidifier, collapsible water bottle and hydration multiplier, while hand sani, screen cleaner and all-purpose wipes equip them with some serious germ-fighting tools.

A small collection of unexpected goods illustrated the goals of the agency meeting; Inspire (hops salt), Build (aromatic and therapeutic clay), Energize (roll-on scented pick-me-up) and Grow (air plant). All held in a custom wooden box with artwork printed on sliding lid. Each item had just the right amount of originality, sparking curiosity and interest, and combined to make a strong statement about the future of the brand. Photography by: Nathan Kanofsky

This customer relations mailer kicked off the new year while showcasing Criteo’s global successes. The perfect vehicle was a custom party “cracker” with traditional items found in a cracker, like paper crowns, confetti, motto cards plus some fun additions like “cheerful mind balm”, thinking putty and mini sparklers. Our favorite part: a series of Case Studies printed on an unraveling paper scroll. A personalized message to each recipient wrapped around the party cracker.

This Atlantis kit celebrates the local Junkanoo culture of the Bahamas with a fully sensory experience. Created as an invitation for site visits for corporate planners, recipients opened the box to hear Junkanoo music as the sea-inspired scent wafted from the custom candle. The custom artwork of Atlantis sea-life on a small canvas and easel serves as a reminder of their visit to Atlantis. Photography by: Nathan Kanofsky

The “Social Media on the Sand” conference at Beaches Resorts wanted to thank attendees after the event and inspire them to continue creating great content. Our solution: fun smartphone lenses in a branded tin, held in a fully printed shipping box with a faux phone and surprise compartment. Stop action by: MTM

This box we created for Criteo debunked an industry myth by associating each message to an unexpected set of tools and gifts and explaining the connection. We love taking a complicated idea, solving it visually and then making it tangible. Photography by: Nathan Kanofsky
