Penhaligon’s were keen to develop a unique, stand-out range of tins for their Christmas collection.
They invited us to partner with design agency JKR to develop the gift line.
The range consisted of a miniature fragrance tin for ‘him’ and ‘her’, a gift set tin with a choice of five different designs holding a selection of products; and finally a stunning and technically challenging ‘musical box’.
Working closely with JKR, we produced several sets of proof printed sheets achieving a stunning effect with metallic colours and varnishes. During production we ensured that the intricate embossing detail lined-up perfectly with the print effects on the lid and body. A premium card insert was created to hold each item securely in place.
As the tins were round with an inward curl it wasn’t possible to develop an inner card that wouldn’t rattle and move unless glued; so we developed a range of premium flock coated foam inserts with recesses holding each gift item securely. This offered a fabulous presentation platform to showcase each item. Each item was individually boxed to ensure safe transit through fulfilment and into store. The Christmas sales of this range of tins exceeded expectations. The smaller fragrance collection tins have proved so popular, they are now being run as a permanent gift line within the range.
“Our Christmas tin range has been amazing and Tinplate are part of that success. Thank You!”
Sales exceeded expectations with a 24% increase in overall sales. This is even more impressive when we were able to reduce packaging costs for the client by 5%. The product was honoured for multiple packaging awards.
