Meeting With Geoff

Today a small group of us had a meeting with Geoff about many areas of our projects.

Areas Covered:
  • Changing two products that were not juxtaposed correctly. Products concerned - Baxster Soup + Cif Spray
  • Printing - There was an initial worry of cost to get my products printed on material that would give same feel of packaging. After visiting 3 big companies (Pronto Print, Hobs and Orange) I found that the only way they would be prepared to help was to have every item die cut and varnished as to achieve the right effect. However a helpful man in Hobs told me about a small printers in holborn.
  • The small printers can print my packages on a laser printer using suitable paper as to achieve an almost untouchable difference. The Cost will also only be around £150 for multiple copies of my 16 designs. ( I may design 2 more packages as the cost is reasonable)
  • Another item we covered was the idea of my Spoof leaflet advertising products on special offers and hopefully a bag for life with the Spoof Supermarket name and slogan printed on the side.
  • I will be able to complete the leaflet once I have my boxes printed cut and glued.
  • The bag for life is a much harder item. I had looked into getting it professionally printed but with a mimume order of £300 I have decide to create it all myself. I will now have to experiment with iron-on prints and screenprinting as an alternative (assuming more expensive and less choice of colours). I will also need to have around 5 bags made. ( probably by myself as the designs are simple)
