Spring

The artistic concept behind Spring was to be realized through screen printing although not in the conventional way. An artistic approach on the prepress was used, replacing photosensitive emulsion with direct painting on a screen with coarse mesh.

Cooler decoration

The objective of this project was to decorate a cooler on which the logo would stand out. White colour, Pantone shade and varnish can be more vividly produced on a black substrate with screen printing, which was preferred to digital printing. A second material was used for the logo because the effect of silver mirror would be more vivid and stand out more.

Apivita packaging

Showcasing this firm's hybrid printing capabilities, this printed packaging for cosmetics benefited from the both screen and offset printing. The substrate used was a custom order from the client. In order to be as environmentally friendly as possible, the paper pulp consists partly from the grape stems from grapes used for the product formula.
