Box design for El Portón

The project

Archicercle designed the boxes for El Portón. The project brings together packaging personalised with the client’s name and the cutting die used to make the cuts needed for assembly.

The set includes flat components and assembled boxes bearing the name ‘EL PORTÓN’. These two states help explain the relationship between the flat box layout and its assembled form, beyond its graphic identity.

The cutting die is central to the documented process. Preparing it requires defining the position of the blades that will make the cuts for subsequent box assembly. Archicercle’s contribution was the box design; the tooling used helps explain how that design went into production.
