The Art of Packaging

Giclée editions are very fragile, so one of the first problems I encountered was deciding how to package them securely to endure the rigours of both local and international deliveries. They needed to arrive safely and in pristine condition. Working with such low print volumes made it challenging to source off-the-shelf packaging, which was typically only available in large commercial quantities. I found the perfect tube from a local supplier that met my requirements, but the plain tube needed graphics – a new challenge and an excellent opportunity to show off my artwork. I quickly drew inspiration from my years at design school, where I had loved working on packaging projects, and started developing design ideas that could encase the plain tube and give it a life of its own. I hand-make each tube; it’s a labour of love, but something that I enjoy. These are the fantastic people who make my life easier.
