In the packaging industry, there are three components that lead to successful design; creativity, experience and technology. At Durham Box, design forms an integral part of the process and is an area of excellence for the company. Trevor Allen, the principal designer at Durham Box, draws on over 20 years experience of packaging design and is well equipped to cope with the many challenges that are presented. Backed up with sophisticated CAD software that is electronically linked to an automated cutting table, the design team at Durham box is able to react quickly, converting a concept into a working prototype with minimal effort. Utilising the latest graphic software, and a 2 metre wide laser printer, Durham Box is also able to offer its customers printed mock-ups allowing better visualisation of the final product.
