This is a comapany that i work for, they make hand-made cards using foil blocks and embosses for the lettering. im going to see if i can find out where they get the cards printed and see if i can go round and take a look.

Abel & Cole - Pumpkins






Abel and Cole

This is a local company in Leeds and what they do is deliver fresh fruit and veg to you door, but it all organic and from local farmers, they do all sorts of food from pasta sauce to pies to biscuits. this is a great company and if you can afford it, (its not that much) its a great box to get every week.

Matchstick Garden

So aswell as researching into packaging for the pumpkin its self, i am also looking into packaging for seeds aswell, this was a very simple product. the seeds are already mixed in the tip of these matchstick ready to be put in the ground.

Fruit and Veg Packaging

I am looking into packaging for my Pumpkin, this is both a good and bad idea, good because there is nothing like it around at the moment, there is a real gap in the market for this, however it is bad because i am starting from scratch, there is no secondary pumpkin packaging research i can do. so i am looking into Fruit and Veg packaging.


This is a great example of what i am tryin to achieve, it is from Dentsu Tokyo from Baby Creatives, this is simple and effective and sustainable, by overprinting old newspaper for new paper packaging. LOVE IT!

O&CO is a company with a real concern for authenticity and gormet food, i chose this product as again it is very simple but because it is minemalist, another way of being 'green' using less materials where not needed. this is a very ncie idea, im not sure it will work with pumpkins but i will deffinantly keep this idea in mind.

These are both from Lauren Golembiewski

This is a set of 4 spicy sauces, she took inspiration from DADA art for the illustrations, they have their own carry case made from corrigated cardboard and wooden tops. these bottles are gorgeous.






These are products called dirt bath, it is a washing kit for boys, and is based on boys playing in mud, the lotions are all natural but made to look like mud.
