AMR Hewitts PrintPackaging needed a reliable design partner to roll out a set of primary packaging for their client Dayco Australia, a global leader in the research, design, and manufacture of essential engine drive systems. Working closely with AMR Hewitts, Stephen Franklin Design produced localised versions of the Dayco product packaging, using established brand guidelines and adjusting artwork to suit the supplied dielines. The result was a range of print packaging that maintained a consistent brand image across multiple pack sizes and cutting forms.
