Squeezable Truffle Packaging
Hi my name is Evelio and I am a paper folding addict.
Paper folding has always intrigued me so I’m fascinated by new techniques and love testing anything related to folding paper.
It’s obvious from my sketches that, if the concept allows me to organically incorporate folded paper into a concept, I will. Unfortunately, most of the time those concepts work their way out of the final piece due to pricing constraints or material limitations in the mass production environment. But, not this time…
Built completely out of folding board, the squeeze box concept developed for Auberge du Soleil Napa Valley is 100% recyclable. The hand-made truffles are well protected by the internal divider which moves with the box and allows for optimal product display.
I’m still undecided about the wrap which will hold the box closed. Currently, I’m debating between a printed or moulded elastic band and a printed paper sleeve. What do you think? Paper or elastic?

This is gorgeous! As an accordion player, graphic artist and truffle maker, this really makes my day. I think a printed paper sleeve would make the most sense. The perfect finishing touch. Great work! Keep us posted on the final product.

Some of these are pretty cool. If would respect the list more if it weren’t so mac centric however. Nice list either way…

You raise a lot of questions in my head; you wrote an excellent post, but this post is also mind provoking, and I will have to think about it a bit more; I will return soon.
