The design process includes a retail or end user audit, brainstorming, design, testing and thorough documentation. At the end of the semester, the students presented their results to their representatives from their sponsor company, faculty and peers for review. In addition to their presentation, the students also produced posters which were on display in the Harris A. Smith building throughout the presentation reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Teams working on the Atlantic Packaging prompt tailored their package designs to provide the hat with a custom snug-fit box, eliminating the use of air bags or other single-use dunnage materials as a protective component. Components such as cellulose based bags or reusable drawstring bags were implemented as dust bags to protect the hat and reduce dust and abrasion. Many of the solutions incorporated an additional feature such as reseal ability in the event the customer needs to return the package, or a display component for storage in the consumer\u2019s home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Newell teams worked on creating a cohesive unboxing experience across three of the Elmer\u2019s product lines. The students worked to incorporate a second life for the package, often incorporating the box into the activity contained in the box or using it to store the components once opened. Some of the solutions incorporated innovative and sustainable paper handles from Persson, as opposed to a rigid plastic handle. Each of the solutions was designed with internal compartments to organize and protect the Elmer\u2019s components they held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Newell and Atlantic were both incredibly pleased with the students’ results and prototypes presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clemson Packaging Science appreciates the support of companies such as Newell and Atlantic in partnership with the program.

When the WoF marketing team was discussing ways to be more involved with the industry, Courtney presented the ProjectFLEX idea. A team was formed, consisting of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first project the group tackled? Beer labels!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amor Artis<\/a> is a family-owned brewery located in downtown Fort Mill, South Carolina.

Each year on International Women\u2019s Day, Armor Artis brews a limited edition beer, Boss Lady, using a special blend of hops from the\u00a0Pink Boots Society<\/a>. Courtney approached Amor Artis about Project Flex, and it turned out that Amor Artis had never designed a label for Boss Lady. The project was a perfect fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After\u00a0meeting with the brewery to learn more about them and their Boss Lady beer, Courtney browsed design websites for ideas and trends and using her favorite elements of the designs she saw created five design concepts.\u00a0 She presented them to a small group of WoF leaders who chose a favorite that was presented to the brewery \u2013 and they loved it. Pulling inspiration from flexo and rowdy past times, each label features a unique dual-tone design that screams \u201cBoss Lady.\u201d The labels were printed at Clemson University. Kenny Tucker, Project Coordinator for the Sonoco Institute, oversaw the project with help from Clemson Graphic Communications Lecturer Michelle Fox and students Bella Velarde and Megan Brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Working with Clemson to complete ProjectFLEX was such a great experience,\u201d Courtney enthused. \u201cKenny was an expert coordinator and was such a tremendous help. He even hand-delivered the finished labels to the brewery! We couldn\u2019t have done it without him. We also owe a huge thank you to Michelle, who sounds like a troubleshooting rock star. I know the team ran into a couple of snags during the press run, but she and her team worked through everything and we ended up with some beautiful labels. I\u2019d love to meet everyone and thank them in person!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The final project debuted at FTA\u2019s FORUM & INFOFLEX 2023. A 4-pack of the beer was displayed at each partner booth with a display sign explaining more about the project. The Women of Flexo also held a social event where they showed off the beers and explained the project to other women in the industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 2023 is the inaugural year of ProjectFLEX: an annual print project showcasing the capabilities of the amazing women in the flexographic industry.
