Packaging and branded pieces for El Cacahuero

The project

For El Cacahuero, we made a collection of packaging and branded pieces: a box to hold different products, small tags and business cards. Our work combined the manufacture of these elements with the structural design and assembly of the box.

The box was made from 2.5 mm MDF. We designed its components and interlocking joints to form a container for a variety of products. Archicercle’s contribution covered the development of this joint system, as well as the manufacture and assembly of the box.

Laser cutting and engraving were used to make the box and tags. The laser’s speed and power were adjusted during production to achieve different engraved textures. The pieces were therefore personalised directly on the MDF.

While the box has a documented thickness of 2.5 mm, the box and tags together use MDF in different thicknesses. The tags carry the brand identity in a small format that complements the main container.

The business cards completed the commission. They were produced in three different materials to provide variety and alternatives. The finished collection brings together a packaging solution assembled with interlocking joints and a series of branded pieces for the same client.

The design of the components and their joints determines how the box is constructed and assembled.

The business cards were made in three different materials; the tags used MDF in different thicknesses.
