Two white matt laminated paper bags with brown woven rope handles and a gold foil logo. One larger and one smaller portrait format.

New: in-house design studio

Now we design the packaging we manufacture.

Most of our clients arrive with a logo and an instinct, not a dieline. The studio takes it from there, structure, artwork, colour and finish, developed alongside the people who will actually produce it.

Nothing gets specified that cannot be built, and nothing gets built that has not been held in your hands first.

The detail

Where a bag is judged: the handle, the edge, the foil.

White landscape paper carrier bag with grey ribbon handles, gold foil and embossed Monart Spa logo, and a gold and grey wave pattern base.

Handles

Rope knotted internally or set through reinforced eyelets. Ribbon dye-matched from a physical lab dip.

Navy blue matt laminated landscape paper bag with gold foil logo, gold rope handles, and a gold internal ribbon reinforcement for the handles.

Foil & emboss

Hot foil for brilliance, blind deboss for restraint. Both judged on the actual stock, never on a screen.

Small vertical brown paper bag with matt finish, white foil logo, and twisted brown rope handles, featuring the 'DIAMONDLITE' brand.

Materials

FSC, recycled, uncoated, textured. Every substrate changes the colour printed on it.

“The first sample was closer to our interiors than anything we had been sent in two years of trying.”
