They included packaging for Jo Loves’ body sprays, Tisserand, the gourmet Marshmallowist and House of Life beauty brand. The latter involved “tearing up the manufacturing tolerance rule book”: embossing made in-press colour measuring of ink impossible so operators had to print “the old-fashioned way” to ensure consistency. Another challenge was minimising movement between foiling and cutting processes. The result – a gold-foiled logo perfectly central to a two-piece carton – is testament to the time and effort needed to win this demanding category for Curtis.

“Consistently high quality across all samples,” summed up the judges of work from the team in West Molesey, Surrey. They included a Chambord carton, an EIMI travel box, a Sebastian Minis carton and cosmetics care boxes for Oil Reflections. Challenges for the latter involved ensuring consistency of glitter particles and colour matching across four different processes and media to produce a set of three boxes each with their own sub-branding with metallic brand colours.
