The project
Utopick’s liqueur-filled chocolate bombetas were at risk of breaking during delivery, compromising their presentation. Archicercle designed and manufactured a bespoke internal support to protect them in transit, integrated into the client’s existing retail packaging system.
The work focused on the internal packaging structure. The support fits within the retail packaging, which already carries its graphics and travels inside a shipping box. Its role is to protect the product against knocks and movement in transit, without replacing the presentation packaging.
The solution consists of two cardboard pieces that fold along scored lines and slot together. Archicercle’s work covered the structural design of the pieces and their connections, as well as their manufacture.
Both the outlines and the score lines were produced by laser. This method was chosen to suit the project’s small production runs: the same technology provided the cuts and fold lines needed to form the structure.
