WHO WE WORK WITH….

CASESTUDY

CUSTOMER:Pull Digital, Marketing and Design Agency

PROJECT: Pop-up video brochure

THE BRIEF:The brief was to achieve a tangible representation of the 3D augmentation technology this company was promoting. It had to be unique and interactive, whilst maintaining product and structural integrity.

“As a creative agency we are always looking to provide something different and challenging through solutions that deliver against a brief. Often that means asking a partner to take a loosely formed ‘mad' idea and help turn it into a reality. Paper Engine, did just that and more for a recent project with a new client, providing a fantastic end product that exceeded expectation whilst helping us to realise it logistically. We delivered that project to a delighted customer and won an award along the way thanks to the support we received from Paper Engine.”

CUSTOMER:Sony

PROJECT: Fold-flat luxury gift box

THE BRIEF:The brief for this secondary packaging was to find a sleek, attractive yet cost-effective solution to enhance and protect this electronic beauty item. Retailing at over £400 each, the box had to reflect the quality and protect the contents, holding the product securely in place. Our packaging designer worked closely with the customer to align mass-manufacturing with the concept to realise this highly successful branded fold-flat rigid box.

This unique way to present the watch makes use of the spaces very effectively allowing room for additional items, instructions or marketing material.

PROJECT: Magic Wishes Pop-Up Scenes

CUSTOMER:Red Blue Press for Thames and Hudson

PROJECT: Paper Engineering for Designers

THE BRIEF:With such unique expertise – Our renowned paper engineer was the obvious choice to help design this creative paper engineering masterpiece. Highly technical and designed in a methodical and educational way. Paper Engine knowledge was fundamental in providing the unique content for this hit with designers.

“Keith Finch’s (Paper Engineer for Paper Engine) previous job as an aeronautical engineer has clearly given him a love for the precise science that is required to produce complex pop-ups. This mysterious art has been bringing books to life for a long time, and had recently had renewed interest with the paper cut aesthetic becoming a strong medium in the illustration world. If you’re a paper cut artist looking for some interactive inspiration or a designer looking for a way to make the 2D come to life then this book is an excellent place to start leaning the basics of paper engineering.”
