Published reference

Avery Dennison’s Pentawards feature describes Lost Barrels by Meyer-Näkel and the design by Ruska Martín. Its account links the packaging material and visual details to the product story. This is third-party editorial reference material, not an MTT client case. Read the Avery Dennison M_use: Pentawards 2024.

The buyer’s challenge

A collector pack needs a reason for its materials beyond expense. Identify the detail the buyer should notice first and explain how it relates to the product. Do not invent a provenance story or use material claims that cannot be documented.
03

Structure and material direction: our analysis

For a paper-based presentation direction, compare a textured wrap with a restrained foil detail rather than adding multiple competing finishes. If a customer requests reclaimed or specially sourced material, review consistency, availability and evidence before committing. A substitute paper cannot be described as the original material.
04

What to check in sampling

Approve the paper, foil and colour together. Check the finest artwork details, edge wrapping and resistance to ordinary handling. A decorative sample should be accompanied by a separate assessment of how the product is retained and shipped.
05

Plan for a material replacement before it is needed

If a special stock becomes unavailable, decide which features can change and which claims must be removed. A similar colour can preserve a visual reference without preserving provenance. Retain an approved fallback sample and separate its description from the original material story.
06

Prepare a comparable quotation

Supply the brand story, authorised assets, required material claims, product dimensions and quantity. Separate decorative setup costs from the structural package and transport packing in the quote. Review finishing proofs.
