Packaging trends: Wood beyond limits

15 May 2017

No packaging material touches the senses more than wood. You can feel it, smell it and admire its luxurious texture, a gift from nature itself. In this series of inspiration boards, Quadpack’s designers bring you ideas and trends for using this natural material, including a new look, decoration technique and design concept in each instalment.

Look:
Bamboo - new essence
Quadpack expands its portfolio of wood essences with real bamboo, from certified Asian sources. A touch of the Oriental, crafted, coloured and finished to your needs.

Deco technique:
Digital printing
Mind-blowing, high-definition results from new digital printing techniques developed at Quadpack Impressions. Our decoration experts work with the wood surface, drawing out its aesthetic properties or hiding it with a pattern that only becomes apparent when you hold it in your hands.

Design concept:
Modern Marqueterie
Young, creative and playful. Decorative inlays that symbolise a ‘free spirit’. All kinds of materials can be mixed with wood – stone, textured paper, aluminium – to allow creativity for all budgets. Adding high-value inlays is a great way to create Collector’s or limited editions, while other blends enable refill concepts.
