Porter Packaging and Think Packaging deliver eco-conscious packaging for New Zealand-based sports headphones brand, Earshots

Porter Packaging and Think Packaging collaborated with Earshots, a New Zealand-based sporting headphones brand to deliver a pack that is eco-friendly and uses both FSC-certified materials and plant-based inks. The package is straightforward but filled with humorous features and a powerful type-driven design.

Earshots, New Zealand’s pioneers in sports headphones, set out to design the greatest wireless headphones in the world with unrivalled fit, comfort, and sound quality. Earshots worked with Think Packaging to create a packaging solution that is equally great, purpose-built, simple to assemble, and ecologically friendly.

Think Packaging is known to deliver structural designs, and plastic-free packaging with finished dielines and Porter Packaging for their bespoke production, produced a bespoke Earshots box that uses FSC®-certified materials and plant-based inks. Other standout features include a self-locking outer shell, a specifically developed insert, a tear strip, and a kiss-cut hanger tab that are all perfectly integrated.

To ensure clarity against the brown kraft substrate, branding and product information were printed in PMS ink and coated with spot varnish. The finished product mixes simplicity with detailed attention and a solution that strikes the audience as inventive, aggressive, and ergonomic fitting the title ‘Design with Purpose’, the Pentawards Festival 2023’s theme .
