SIGNBOX: a pine box for a recognition plaque

The project

SIGNBOX is bespoke packaging made to hold a recognition plaque. Archicercle manufactured the pine box and its internal insert, combining a traditional case construction with a recess tailored to the piece.

The pine components were milled to form the box. They were assembled with mitre joints and glued under pressure to create the body of the case.

The interior was made from layers of corrugated cardboard, laser-cut to size. This insert forms the recess for the plaque, adapting the space inside the box to its contents.

The finished case has a rectangular form, a hinged lid and a metal clasp at the front. The pale wood exterior contrasts with the brown cardboard insert: two components with different roles within the same packaging.

The internal recess is built up from layers of corrugated cardboard, cut to fit the plaque.
