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 identified as an outstanding example of communication design by the A' Design Award. Open Packaging Sleeves won the Iron A' Design Award in Packaging Design in 2020. The A' Packaging Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design award which celebrates outstanding design of bottles, boxes, cans, pouches, tubes, cartons, wrappers, bags and more.
