N Smith Customer Stands Out Against Competition With Striking, Curved Carton

A company working in the health and nutrition sector approached N. Smith wanting to update their packaging for a line of weight loss drink sachets. An important aspect of the brief was for the carton to have curved sides – the customer wanted to compliment the current artwork and stand out from the competition.

The carton was designed in 400-micron carton board. This material was chosen as it is lightweight yet sturdy, can be manipulated into curves and lithographically printed with a high-quality finish.

Our designers took great care to ensure that the curves of the carton were designed sympathetically and with the customer’s artwork in mind. We wanted to compliment the graphics and branding, not confuse or take attention away from them. It was also important to consider how the boxes would pack together during transit when designing the shape of the box – we wanted to ensure efficiencies throughout the entire supply chain.

Strong, Versatile & Eye-Catching: Urban Crunch Case Study

When an established snacks company needed branded FSDUs that could enhance their product display at exhibitions, they turned to N. Smith & Co. for a solution.

The goal? To design displays reminiscent of a bar or pub scene, while ensuring they were strong enough to support jars of snacks and other heavy props during trade shows.

“Whilst doing our own exhibition stands we know how important it is to make an impact. These displays had the added challenge of such a weight to display. Our designers did a great job.”

Kerry Tyers – Commercial Director

Our Approach

☑️ Reinforced Shelving:
Clever folding techniques and a matrix base design ensured durability without compromising aesthetics.

☑️ Modular & Versatile:
The units could be used alone or in a trio, adapting seamlessly to different stand sizes.

☑️ Easy Assembly & Transport:
A simple lock system allowed for quick setup and flat-pack storage between shows

☑️ Multi-functional Design:
Flat sides and counter-height shelving allowed for various configurations, maximising impact.

“We had such a great response at our exhibitions about these stands. They certainly helped us stand out. We couldn’t be more pleased with the units, they are strong yet lightweight, we can flat pack them and assemble at the show, so we only need the car for transport.”

Ms Christou – Director
