The lazer cut net for the coaster packaging. This is done on fairly heavy mount board, which we intended to cover with the same bookrum as the front and back cover of the sample book.
The net after a few tenuous cuts, trying not to go too far through.
After cutting, folding then meant that tearing of the edges ensued. This resulted in fairly bodged tape job on the sides. It also became clear that creating the flaps from the heavy stock wasn't good due to the difference in height it creates. Also the cuts for the edges had to be absolutely precise, and these weren't so it didn't quite line up.
This picture I think sums up how well the creation of this particular net went. We wanted however to keep it on the same stock, and book rum the cover as we intended. So we sat down and tried to think our way around the problem.
-First of all we decided to remove all the flaps
-We then decided to move the shield cut out to the other side so that the bookrum was easier to wrap around.
-After that we decided to remove of much as the packaging that could go wrong as possible.
-This meant removing top and bottom, so this is more like a sleeve than a package.
-We would then place a piece of paper over this to keep the coasters in place.
-The nature of the packaging and the way we had decided to arrange them inside meant that they wouldn't move too much.
-We also reduced the height very slightly from 1.3cm to 7mm. This was the correct amount of space to tightly house coasters and remain bulky enough to be satisfying, but compact enough to package along with the sample book.
