Diamond Delivers a Legendary Performance

Michael Jordan Legend Gift Set
Package Design magazine's January/February issue highlights Diamond's printing and converting techniques used in the production of the Michael Jordan Legend Gift Set.

Five Star Fragrance recently teamed up with Diamond to deliver a legendary performance for its new Michael Jordan Legend Gift Set.

The carton was converted utilizing metallized polyester board and offset printed with transparent gold, dense black, and opaque white inks, in-line with UV matte and UV high gloss coating.

The UV matte spot coating on the lid and base provides a striking contrast to the high gloss gold accents (logos, ribbed pattern) surrounding it.

The multi-level embossed pebbled surface of the basketball (on the lid) reinforces the Michael Jordan brand. more
