No design is an island - truly successful results
require successful cooperation. When Korsnäs
started its current design project, its central
thrust was to see how the meeting of different
sets of skills and experiences would result in
creative ideas and innovation.
The project is an important element of the launch
of Korsnäs' first completely white cartonboard,
Frövi White. Several highly qualified European
converters and design agencies are also involved.
All are contributing their unique expertise
and experience, and the results - four luxurious packaging
designs - are now being distributed in Europe.
Design challenge The London-based design agency PI3, with clients
like Allied Domecq and Diageo, has a good reputation
for luxury beverage packaging, and took on the job of
putting Frövi White's plasticity to the test. The
result was a beautifully designed box for the imaginary
Still 6 whisky label. This is the first of four package
designs to come out of these cooperative efforts. "The
design of this creative packaging, with its unusual
and challenging idiom, was developed to demonstrate
the superb plasticity of Frövi White," says
PI3 Production Director Eric Connolly. The brushed aluminium
graphic look makes it feel masculine and modern - and
innovative.
Proof positive Development of Frövi White began with
the goal of a spring 2007 launch. "We maintained
an ongoing dialogue with our clients and partners to
make sure their wishes and requirements were part of
the development process," says Rolf Gustafsson,
head of Korsnäs' packaging board product area.
"Our goal was to provide a completely white board
grade with unique plasticity and a perfect printing
surface. Our partnership with PI3 and the positive market
response to the Still 6 packaging are proof that Frövi
White really performs."
