Fedrigoni Paper Choices and Additional Card

For the packaging I am going to use the 'Betualla' paper. The YCN brief states that the packaging must use the Fedrigoni paper stock, however most of the paper Fedrigoni papers that I got sent are quite bright and dark. This is a little bit awkward as the brief states that we must also use the colour palette that Oliver Bonas has provided, which I have done, these colours wouldn't show as their actual shades if I were to use the bright and dark coloured papers, so I decided to use the white 'Betulla' Fedrigoni paper for the packaging as the colours would show up best on this.

Also, Fedrigoni has only sent one A4 sheet of each paper stock, meaning that I wouldn't be able to use them to print the actually packaging anyway as A4 is way too small.

The Betulla paper stock also has a nice sustainable and hand made look to it as you can see some very subtle little speckles of darker colours, it also has quite a textured surface to it which adds to the organic feel.

Furthermore, the brief also states that I can include any other tactile paper or card elements as well as the labels and packaging that I feel will support the product story. I thought it was important to include somewhere that the Fedrigoni paper used for the packaging is eco-friendly and sustainable, 'Working in a sustainable way is integrated into our culture and we are all committed to Being Kind to the environment in every decision we take.- Oliver Bonas.

Each candle box will include a small card which will provide this information, making the consumer aware of this will increase future sales for Oliver Bonas as it encourages them to buy more Oliver Bonas products in the future instead of brands that don't focus on sustainability.

The card for each candle will use the coloured Fedrigoni paper that best matches the colours used in the label and box design; the dragonfly will use 'Giallo', the asian lady beetle will use 'Grigio', the mayfly will use 'Cipria' and the monarch butterfly will use 'Rosa'
