In our second attempt at embossing we achieved much better results. By dampening the paper and rolling out the excess the embossing plate was much more effective.
We embossed white card which will be used for the support structure within the box
We also embossed black card which will be used for bottle labels:
I was in charge of crafting the bottle support, which I have developed to consist of two parts (after vacuum forming was unsuccessful) a case and a support.
This is the simple net for the case with just 4 tabs that need to be glued down.
This is the assembled 'case' with logo emboss
We require 4 cases to fit the 4 scents that we are designing for, I have made more than enough so we can pick and choose the most successful for photographing
The second component to the internal support is the insert that holds the bottle.
This was the result of the initial net that I thought would work well- after testing with printer paper.After trying this with white card it is obvious that it didn't work as well as I'd hoped
I decided to simplify the net and cut a circle that the bottle would fit into rather than two half circles (as pictured above)
Cutting the circle away in segments helped to achieve a much more accurate circle
This was much more successful and produced a very neat and solid structure
When we have attached the label and assembled the boxes I think that this support structure will photograph really well
This gives an idea of what the finished products will look like:
