Closures
When creating packaging for any brand, deciding on the most appropriate closing mechanism to use can be an element to add a level of detail, quality or expression to any format. It can enhance the finished look of a packaging piece while also adding to its functionality.
Closures can be ergonomically incorporated into many packaging formats through CAD templates to create integrated tabs, tucks or folds. For more discreet or hidden closures such as magnets, these can be placed under a paper finish to hide the closure and make it invisible.
For more standard glued closures on paper and board-based packaging, locking tabs or ‘crocodile’ tear-strips can be integrated to encourage interplay with the pack and enhance the ceremony of opening the piece.
Common options on fabric include; zips, clasps, press studs and ties. For luxury wooden boxes; clasps, catches or magnetics can be incorporated for additional usability and detail.
