The thesis deals with the design and production of new packaging for a piece of bobbin lace jewellery and business cards, which is associated with the packaging. The goal of the thesis is to create a type of packaging for the bobbin lace jewellery, which is usualy not used in jewellery packaging, and to make the packaging reusable. The packaging is also special because of the type of material from which is made, as it is paper and paperboard produced from invasive plants.
The theoretical part presents basic data about packaging, the meaning and the use of gift packaging, as well as an overview of the existing packaging for the bobbin lace products in the market. The experimental part describes the testing of five different types of paper produced at Pulp and Paper Institute in Ljubljana. Paper from Miscanthus, two samples of Robinia (black locust) paper of different grammage, and two samples of Japanese knotweed paper of different grammage were used. The basic, mechanical, surface, structural and optical properties were determined. Based on the measurements, we used high-grammage paper from Robinia and Japanese knotweed for the production of packaging and business cards, as both samples show a correspondingly high burst and tear resistance.
The shape of the jewellery box itself is very special, reminiscent of a romantic envelope, and the added butterfly pattern surrounds us with a feeling of tenderness and adds a 3D effect. We used the basic elements as illustration, lettering and logo, and only used black for printing.
