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.

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.

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
