We learned about how we could engrave using the laser cutter and what substrates we can use to print or engrave on. The lab tech passed around a booklet of different substrates and how the engrave/cuts would appear.
My original thought was to use a substrate like single ply cardboard and only print using minimal color, but now I want to use only the engraving technique without any color. I'll have to make sure the engraving is at 100%. I don't want to cut into the package at all as it will effect the structure and will probably make it too unstable.
I started working on some sketches. I have three different directions I'm exploring: nature, texture/typography and watercolor. I don't think I will want to include color, but it's a possibility. I asked the lab tech if I can borrow some scraps to explore with the colors.
There are a couple of directions I think could work. Having the circle in the middle fits the current brand and looks like a globe too. I also think the leaf texture could be interesting if I can execute that softly in the background.
The watercolor maybe a direction, but I need to get the scrap pieces first from the lab to explore more.

I went to Target to find some more inspiration and take some photos of preexisting packages to use the content. I still want to use the Tampax/Always brand but I'll use some of the information from other products to work out what content I should have.

Both the Unders underwear and tampons are smaller packages compared to others. I would like to keep them a similar size but I want to make the packages a little more unique. I found three options on Templatemaker I can use.
