C&T Takes home the Silver for Gift Box Studio® Lively

It always feels great to be recognized for your hard work. We are celebrating our win in the 2008 Gold Ink Awards. Gift Box Studio® Lively, a book of ready-to-use, pop-out paper gift boxes, envelopes, tags, and embellishments, won a Silver award in the Softcover Books category of the 2008 Gold Ink Awards print production competition, hosted by North American Publishing Company.

A panel of distinguished judges rated entries on their production quality, including difficulty of production, paper choices, binding and finishing techniques, and quality of manufacturing.


Design, Persistence Overcame Production Challenges

“Gift Box Studio was a challenge for our Production Department because we had to design 3D shapes that could be easily popped out of a flat sheet of paper and assembled without much instruction,” says Kristy Zacharias, Design Manager at C&T Publishing. “Another unique aspect of this project was having to transfer designs originally created for fabric into a paper medium. By building many different prototypes and testing each one thoroughly, we ended up with a beautiful, easy-to-use product that offers literally hundreds of gifting options.”

Other Awards and Recognition

Gift Box Studio Lively also received the 2007 “Member Tested and Approved” from the Creative Arts Home Club, with top ratings for design and appearance, and has been favorably reviewed by many publications for crafters.
