If you check definitions of marketing collateral, you’ll probably find five or six. Marketing collateral is often though to be things like business cards, brochures, price lists, catalogues and so on. What about presentation boxes as marketing collateral? We make presentation boxes in hundreds of all sizes, shapes, colours, textures and styles.
The following is a case study of 5,200 presentation boxes both we designed and produced for a major bank.
Case study:
What the client was looking for:
The recipients or end-users of the box are individuals of high net worth who expect only the best. How best to attract and retain their business?
The purpose of the boxes were to house one or two credit cards along with two important books containing the “small print” that the client would retain for later reference, to avoid misunderstanding and mistakes.
The End Product
This image shows the box lined with red velvet, which lends an understated elegance; a centre “well” was formed to house two books.
The presentation box shown above is wrapped in a man-made (synthetic) material that looks like leather. This material was then foil stamped and we added a unique closure method we developed.
These images show the ribbon used as “lifter” to help remove the boxes from the well.
Features
- Opening the box is easy; no instructions are needed.
- The plush velvet interior usually ‘awes’ the client!
- The box is attractive and sturdy: highly unlikely to be thrown out.
Benefits
