Open
This project is called Open and includes six different photography magazines which are bundled in these custom-made sleeves. The sleeves are made of a thick, heavy, anthracite cardboard with an embossing and screen printed numbers 1-80 (the number of subscribers). The client personally stamped each box during the presentation which makes every box a unique one. The title on the boxes is quite literally open, because the cut-away in both boxes show the letter O when placed next to each other.
Open Packaging Sleeves by Koen van Rijen was featured as an outstanding example of communication design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Open Packaging Sleeves won the Iron A' Design Award in Packaging Design in 2020. The A' Packaging Design Award is a highly prestigious international design award which recognizes superior design of bottles, boxes, cans, pouches, tubes, cartons, wrappers, bags and more.
