Cardboard packaging for Oftalm

The project

Archicercle developed bespoke packaging with Oftalm, from the initial meetings and prototypes through to manufacturing the boxes. The result is a rectangular cardboard box with a hinged lid, cut-out internal components and small hook-and-loop dots for the closure.

The work began with several client meetings to bring ideas together and define the project. Before manufacturing the final components, we made prototypes to review the proposal with Oftalm and guide development towards the result they had in mind.

The cardboard components were cut using our laser machine and then assembled by hand. The studio’s contribution covered both development and manufacture, rather than stopping at a sample.

The box combines a rectangular outer form with a hinged lid and internal components featuring cut-out openings. The word ‘oftalm’ is cut into one of the front components, incorporating the client’s name into the object itself.

To complete the boxes, we fitted small hook-and-loop dots as the closure system. This detail, along with the manual assembly, formed part of the finishing work.
