Screen Printing
Colours - Red & Yellow
Stock
Brown Recycled stock - this was used to represent environmentally friendly packaging to fit to the brief, this paper could also be recycled after its purpose too making it a sustainable design.
The GSM of this was thick and was around 170, having a high GSM allows the stock to protect the cutlery and also become a sturdy box, it doesn't become flimsy and will keep its shape.
printing -
from the ideas the cutlery was going to be printed onto the brown card in a yellow ink, however the yellow was difficult to see and decided to go with red cutlery which made a more bold and vibrant and the design stand out.
White speckled recycled stock -
because the yellow was slightly difficult to see I tried another recycled stock that was white. Even though the yellow could be seen a lot more the white stock didn't look as good as the brown, and feedback also agreed with this.
Finished -
the yellow and the red contrasted well together and stood out on the brown stock.
one problem which did occur was the screen bleeding at one point, the screen has to be washed which took half a hour from the day. However by washing the screen and staring again it did ensure a better outcome for the label.
for a final touch a string was added also red and yellow making it a uniformed design, the string was threaded through 4 holes on each edge of the packing and then tied around the plates.
