To produce the highest quality clear plastic boxes, we start with the finest quality, box-grade plastics available: premium grade APET, RPET, bio-PET, PETG, PP and PVC. We purchase materials from only the world's best producers, always to our more demanding appearance and performance specifications. The result is clear plastic packaging with better and more consistent clarity, virtually no visual defects, higher impact strength, and better scratch resistance. For a more sustainable alternative to traditional plastic boxes, our proprietary RPET is made with 30% post consumer recycled content and up to 30% of our PlantBox® bio-PET is derived from plant-based sources. Both our RPET and bio-PET substrates possess all same properties and characteristics as our standard box-grade PET, and our RPET and PlantBox plastic boxes offer the same the appearance, quality and performance as our renowned Klearfold® PET cartons.
To further ensure material quality, we produce much of our substrate needs in-house. Our custom extruders produce more demanding box-grade plastics exclusively, creating premium-quality substrates that are extremely uniform, crystal clear, and defect-free.
Setting: Springbac, a (hangover remedy) beverage from South Africa reached the States choosing Brainswitch Advertising to launch their product. After conducting initial research, we designed their logo and packaging, created a strong brand identity and developed a compelling ad campaign appealing to urban audiences.
Challenge: As a controversial product we where required to walk a fine thin line making sure the brand was desirable for the chosen demographic while not appearing to endorse excessive alcohol consumption.
Strategy: An exceptionally integrated campaign was developed around the message “For the Party Animal in You” aimed at trend-setters that included traditional and non traditional media, viral, web, outdoor, unusual grassroots and promotional efforts, off and on premise and print ads in college newspapers. The brand has achieved notoriety and generated buzz from a brand identity standpoint as well as messaging and marketing communications. In essence the brand emerged as a category unto itself. Read below the viral components.
Roger Dario’s graduate project — “Standard Scientifical Industries” — is silly. With a product line that includes Hitler Assassination Kits, Folding Quarantine Chambers, and Deus Ex Machina in a box, it’s satiric and inspiring. It’s as inventive as it is nostalgic. Part Nickelodeon, part Adbusters, part 1950s propaganda, it’s a shining testament to Roger’s skills and voice as a designer.

The Brief
To develop an identity for a luxury perfume brand which appeals to both Arabic and Western cultures.
The Response
We captured both influences of the brand by balancing Arabic elements with a classic high-end look and feel. The packaging materials help to deliver the message using a varnished Arabic pattern and foil blocked logo application. The Pour Homme and Eau De Parfum fragrance bottles help shape the brand by promoting continuity using a similar shapes and styles. The women’s bottle is given a more feminine feel with it’s softer edges, colouring and gold cap. The result is a product with a subtle Arabic feel that appeals to consumers in both markets.
And so, the mailman loves me!!! Lots of packages... some big- some small, all GREAT!
Pictured above are packages for:
Doc, Miranda, Colette and my darling Denise. Be excited as they're traveling to you...
p.s. take pictures when they arrive please, I forgot to show what I sent. =(
Here's my new camera and how it it arrived (along with _Fudoki_ by Kij Johnson). It was just rattling around inside the box, with ONE air bladder. I don't yet know if the camera is OK, but even if it is, I think Amazon should do better. (Photo taken with MacBook Pro's built-in camera, not the new camera.)
care package for a friend: rice paper wrapper candies, strawberry chocolate cone things, mambas, travel cards, hello panda vanilla custard, strawberry pocky, chapstick, chocolate mousse pocky

New packaging for my stamps (and probably charms!)
I'm very excited about how cute it looks. I think it's a keeper!
( Blogged here: twocheeseplease.livejournal.com/36126.html )
I settled on a Sherline 4000A lathe.
My reasonable options seemed to be one of the re-packaged Sieg lathe/mill combos or a lathe with milling attachment, a Taig lathe and milling attachment, or a Sherline lathe, either with milling attachment or with a full lathe-to-mill conversion setup.
The Sieg machines are much larger (a 7x12 lathe or larger), and start at a much lower quality, than the other choices. They start as the cheapest options, but they would require significant futzing to really become finely tuned machine tools. I'd love to have the experience to do that, and the time- but I'm a total novice, and I'm trying to make progress on a specific project. Just as importantly, these machines way too large to keep hidden, so I would have needed to find an excuse to explain setting up a small machine shop in the spare bedroom. The upside to those machines would have been their larger capacity allowing many more practical projects in the future- these machines are small but not just for miniature models, while the Taig and Sherline are really for people building tiny things for fun. I can easily imagine owning a machine in this class in the future.
The Taig lathe would have been a little cheaper, but with only a clunky milling attachment to the lathe bed, rather than a conversion to a milling machine. The Taig is usually outfitted with a single speed motor and pulley set, though many folks convert it to use the Sherline motor.
The Sherline machine has a variable speed DC motor that has good torque (for the size) and doesn't require constant belt changes. I felt the variable speed would be particularly useful for me as a novice figuring things out. Sherline also has a an accessory line that's comprehensive, if a bit pricey. Many hobby machinist's frown on this, because a machinist with a good shop and enough skill can make just about any accessory. But again, right now I'm a total novice looking to get a project done. Then I can spend the rest of my married life improving my skills, building my own tools, and grumping about anyone who doesn't do the same.
Finally, Sherline has great documentation for the machines and accessories, both of my primary reference books are focused on Sherline tools, and one is written by Sherline's owner. He admits that there are other good machine tool options (without ever naming the Taig) in the same area, but having a lot of examples and discussion with exact pictures and even part #s really helped with wrapping my head around things, and minimized the number of things I forgot to order or ordered incorrectly.

sniff...sob...I've heard that my dear friend ate a crust of bread and ketchup for his dinner last night...I hope that this care package will cheer him up:
Montana made huckleberry gummy bears, a teddy bear with huckleberry chocolates, two slabs of bacon, farm fresh eggs, and look, freshly picked raspberries. And oh wow, his own fork.....
The idea behind this concept was to make a packaging where the name of the product will be written by the product itself instead of using any kind of printing techniques.
Considering the future of technology and the endless possibilities to shape your product, it's definitely a subject that deserves attention.

some lucky duck is gonna be getting this beautiful piece of artwork on their doorstep in the next few days.
thanks to everyone that helped spread the word and even managed to bid on the pokemon auctions!
Flexible packaging printing with Flexo uses low viscosity inks which dries faster for faster production, and flawless flexible printing.
Proyecto de Packaging para la serie histórica "Aravco". Aprovecho el impulso para sacar provecho del tan rígido y castrante código de barras e incluirlo en el diseño completo. Opiniones serán bien recibidas :) // Packaging proyect for the graphic novel series "Aravco". This is an attempt to use a bit more in my favor the barcode and it's integration with the design itself. Love to hear your thoughts :)
If you are a #cannabis grower in your area, chances are that you have run into some serious #problems with #bud right.
Whether you are operating a massive #greenhouse with thousands of #cannabis #plants, or simply trying your hand at growing a few plants at home for medical use, you may have experienced the frustration and annoyance of bud rot. It is, hands down, one of the nastiest #diseases that your precious marijuana plants can get.
If you are unfamiliar with what bud rot is, it is essentially a #fungus that attacks the #weed plant and spreads to other plants. This type of rot destroys plants without mercy and can really ruin your whole garden and your day. If you are planning on growing plants in the future or are already growing cannabis right now, #preventing bud rot is a huge must. However, like most things in life, it is never simple to prevent bud rot on cannabis plants.
That is why I wanted to write this today to talk about what bud rot is, and how to treat and prevent it. Treating is one thing, but it is best to try and prevent it from ever happening if at all possible. So if you have ever experienced this issue before, make sure that you keep reading! The reason that bud rot is so hard to deal with is because of the way it spreads.
Unlike a lot of #fungal diseases that attack plants, bud rot (which is essentially #gray #mold), grows from the inside out. This makes it insanely difficult to try to get rid of. Did you know that cannabis is not the only plant that gets affected by this fungal disease? Other plants like #strawberries and #peonies can be attacked as well.
Just a few of these #spores can really destroy all of your plants as they spread from bud to bud, resulting in no more weed for you. So how does one actually detect and stop bud rot? Well, let’s talk about.
When it comes to actually identifying bud rot when it first starts, it is not too hard to spot on your cannabis plants. There are a few common symptoms that can be noticed when a cannabis plant is undergoing bud rot, and this is going to be crucial for getting rid of it before it spreads to the rest of your plants.
When bud rot first begins on your cannabis plants, you may notice it only in a few places. The affected parts of the plant will usually have some discoloration and look more dried up than the rest of the plant. You will definitely be able to tell that something is not right, it is just a matter of making sure that bud rot is not a problem before it spreads to the rest of your buds.
There may even be mold that begins to form on your buds as well, so that is going to be something to look out for as well. Depending on how far along the fungus growth is, the color of the buds may look different. Sometimes they can look white or gray, dark and brown, or even purple in some cases.
Either way, there is no case that is too far gone at these early stages. In most cases of you first noticing the bud rot, you can begin by removing the visibly infected parts first and disposing of them.
Keep in mind that these #spores can spread, so you want to be sure that you’ve isolated these infected parts and thrown them away in a #sealed #bag or something like that.

Another eBay package came today. I’ve been meaning to buy this odd knock off body ever since @aubreysilver posted about finding them on Aliexpress but I wanted to buy it with the protection of eBay heh. I actually bought one the same time I bought my Allan and Eegee Andy head lot back in June but… it got lost around Russia so I finally took a chance on another one after being refunded.
This knock off body uses a Fashionista Ken torso and upper arms and legs but it uses Pivotal Ken forearms and calves. I’m really surprised at how high quality it feels for a clone doll cuz the vinyl limbs aren’t all shiny and greasy but rather relatively matte. I had to carve off excess flash around the joints before posing him but for a $5 body it’ll worth it.
I’m a little surprised how pale this body is cuz Andy has been on my clone Kristoff body since I got him and the match is better. However if any of my dolls had a farmer’s tan it has to be Andy I guess.
Also I got some Kumik pumps for She Ra which fit her perfectly.

Oftentimes we think of artisan chocolates as mere snacks around holidays like Valentine’s Day and Christmas. While they ultimately are made for food, they have a certain sense of art, luxury, and fancy surrounding them. Perhaps that’s because they’re often made intending to be gifted. Perhaps it’s just a notion that I and I alone have.
Whatever the case, candy boxes are unique from other types of candy in that they focus on an assortment of chocolates and not just one type, such as a Reese’s cup or Hershey’s bar. Boxes of chocolate set themselves apart in being a variety of decorative, luxurious chocolates for special events throughout the year.
As such, here are a few unique (and possibly even farfetched) ideas for using boxes of chocolate as pieces of decor around your house this holiday season.
The Table Centerpiece
Meals around the holidays are special because you and your family, who may have not seen one another for a long time, are meeting up to dine, talk, and even exchange gifts.
Oftentimes, garland adorns the center of the dining table, usually surrounding some sort of #holiday #decoration, candle, or fruit assortment. Rather than having something typical sit in the center that you can’t interact with, candy draws the attention of your guests, provides them with a pre- or post-meal snack, and shows you really put forth some effort this year when hosting the family feast.
Tree Decorations on Christmas Day
I remember always searching the tree on Christmas Day for extra #gifts that were never present beneath the tree during the month leading up to Christmas. Some families have traditions like this where there’s a pickle hidden and the first person to find it gets the extra gift. Other families like my own may simply place the extra gifts for whomever up in the tree.
Candy boxes placed in the tree could be a great way to introduce a new aspect to your family tradition and takes no preparation at all.
Doorway Treats
Lots of homes have tables or desks placed by the front door just inside the house. Sometimes candles adorn them. Sometimes lamps. Often, though, there’s an open space there and the table is merely meant for decoration. Why not put a box of chocolates in that space as treats for family and friends who come over during the holidays? Whether they’re entering or leaving, it’s a fun little treat to be greeted to or say farewell to.
