Brew Your Coffee In This Amazing French Press Packaging
In another life, when I have more patience and math skills, I want to be a Package Designer! This is almost one of those why didn’t someone think of this before moments. I say almost, because cooking something in a package isn’t new, but having your package act like a French Press moves it toward […]
Rider Dickerson Promotional Piece Raises The Bar
I am long standing fan of Rider Dickerson because they “get” it. They get that providing education to Print Buyers helps everyone. They get that multi-channel marketing is here to stay and have been ahead of the curve for years producing their own annual event in Chicago called printFORUM. They get social media. And they […]

Ad Agency Rethinks Coffee Cup Sleeves As Newspapers
This campaign will be added to my list of things I wish I came up with. The brilliance here is that the initial audience is already there – coffee drinkers. They don’t have to first create coffee drinkers/customers/fans etc. The campaign only enhances the experience of having your coffee, which you are already having! This […]
Tesco’s Insulting Italian Error
This is awesome…lol And probably a top ten reason NOT to take a picture and then use that picture as art for packaging (or anything printed) – especially if it’s in a language you don’t speak! I believe the Brits have starred out the word “bollocks” which when flipped to American is equivalent to the […]

WikiCells: Bottles that could be EATEN once you've drunk what's inside
This is from The Daily Mail but I did include other references since that is not one of my “go-to” sources for news and information. Future bottles could be eaten after scientists developed an edible material that can taste like the drink inside. The product, a membrane created using a biodegradable plastic combined with food […]

Your Touchscreen Can “Read” This Ink
Another technology to bridge print to digital. This one relies on Printers to embed an “invisible electronic code” during the printing process. So many new techs emerging now claiming to replace QR codes, but the market (or the consumers) are going to have to drive what ultimately wins out. I can’t imagine seeing an ad […]
