Colour Matching & Crafting

Here are the finished leaflets that go in the boxes:






The leaflet gives information on how to use the product a brief description of what the perfume represents and health and safety warnings. This information is translated into 5 other languages to that are the most common in places where L'Artisan Parfumeur sell perfume


We had some trouble with colour syncing. I printed the stickers (Small yellow rectangle) in Digital Print and the leaflet is printed from a laser jet and you can see that the colours are quite drastically different


It was most apparent on the yellow. I tried to remedy this as best I could by changing the colour on the document to compensate for the printer, this worked relatively well and was an improvement on the original difference but still not spot on. If we were to carry this design proposal through to industry we would specify Pantone codes so that all the colours were clear and consistent.


We also had a lot of trouble with the blue, these 3 shades are from 3 different printers all using exactly the same file. We are going to leave this slight difference for now and photoshop our images if the difference in tone is obvious and distracting


We finished constructing our nets today, we used a strong laminated stock that is very similar to the packaging that is used for most medical products, it was very easy to score and fold and produced a strong and structurally sound package.
