- Imagine the printer getting this file. 'You sure 'bout this?'misterhow
- ^ LOL @ misterhowmg33
- So many questions... is this intentional irony / chaos? Is this some kind of mistake?mg33
- i think it's intended, and if it works - it stays. my questine is how did it come to this?renderedred

- They were looking for print specialist, no experience neededfuturefood
- @misterhow lol the printer probably had Dr. Bronner's flashbacks.garbage

Native people have called the imagery racist, and that it goes "hand-in-hand with human and sex trafficking of our women and girls.... by depicting Native women as sex objects," according to Rep. Ruth Buffalo, D-Fargo, who is a registered member of the Mandan, Hidatsa Arikara Nation, and is from Fort Berthold Reservation.
don't see how a respectful native American girl in traditional dress = sex trafficking but whatever.
I think the only thing this is doing really is erasing Native Americans from the collective conscious. Erasing their imagery and history. They're already out of sight and out of mind and probably the most under-represented group in all walks of North American life.
- I mean, maybe they could have updated her with a modern Native American girl? Without the feathers and traditional clothes? but i'm sure someone would_niko
- ...have freaked out about that too.
oh well._niko - someone fixed this a while back, _niko:
https://i.imgur.com/…PonyBoy - Hayoth will now boycott butter, fucking Commies ruin everything!utopian
- Haha pony_niko
- what about a pic of an obese all-american gal that LOVES her butter?microkorg
- @_niko: potentially racist and sexist problems aside, I'm really not sure what an indigenous woman has to do with butter at all, from the point of view ...Continuity
- ... of brand narrative. Butter was introduced to the Americas by Europeans, a quick look on Wiki reveals. So yeah, I don't get what her presence on there ...Continuity
- ... said to begin with. And she didn't match up, either, with the brand name. And, actually, the brand name doesn't really speak about butter, either.Continuity
- None-Yank CD's conclusion: this brand sucks on at least three levels.Continuity
- Also, salted. Ugh.Continuity
- It comes in unsalted as well, obviously.monospaced
- You said it. “Erasing THEIR imagery and history...” what’s on that package isn’t their imagery, it’s a Disney interpretation of it.ben_
- When I moved to the US from Canada I was shocked to see this imagery on a brand at the grocer. Not offended, just surprised.nb
- it's a caucasian woman in native costumeBustySaintClaire
- I don't know, it seems like a cop out. there, we removed the native imagery so everyone's happy. Instead, they should have said fuck you, we're keeping_niko
- it since it was painted by a native artist, and we are also donating 5% of our yearly profits to indigenous rights groups and communities and we're also_niko
- hiring a certain amount of native workers in white collar positions including on our board. That would be something. This erasing is a weak gesture._niko
- and i could understand if they removed her and went in a totally different direction, new packaging, branding etc, but all they did was remove her, erasing her_niko
- ...from history like some Stalinesque soviet era photo manipulation. it's just odd._niko
- Well it's weak gesture because they're just caving to pressure and don't really "care" about anything other than the bad press.ben_
- The fact that an indigenous artist painted it doesn't mean it's accurate, either. Times change... pitch them on a new design.ben_
- You guys know the titty trick, right? You can fold her knees up and it looks like bewbzscarabin

- @mono - just don't think its appropriate for the product. nice elements granted just not for beer. hipster fad feel to it.fadein11
- and the colour system is v.confused.fadein11
- Kolsch is in what looks like a stout can, IPA should have been in green (hops), red ale in a white canhellrod
- I guess that's one way of seeing it. I think it's just something new that people don't YET relate to beer. I feel it could be. That's all.monospaced
- ^omg
- huge barrier to deal with when you design something that doesn't look like it lives with what it is. i predict a redesign within a year.doesnotexist
- ^ exactly - some products so hard to break the mould - even if that is wrong. Its nice design just not for beet - looks soft.fadein11
- "hipster fad feel", and what if it's a beer for hispers, HUH?!
Colors suck. Boxes, meh. Logo? not. Just plain Eveleth, same type for the varieties.maquito - Nah, sorry. Not Eveleth. Some sort of Brothers shit.maquito
- @doesnotexist I'd say NOT making shit meant to be redesigned within a year should be the barrier heremaquito
- I like the SF illustrations. Reminds me of the Portugal illustrations: http://www.undercons…wagshaft
- My first thoughts where "not that hipster shit again". The "porto" identity started this trend and now its over done. https://s-media-cach…milfhunter

- I lov ethese.instrmntl
- i_monk0
- interesting. do you think it ships to retail like that?Gnash
- Shoulda cut the holes in reverse so the bottle could hang on a store rack.cannonball1978
- I'm not sure if it's in the wild yet.
https://www.zigpack.…i_monk - I feel like if you grab the handle, the bottle slides down to concrete at 88mph, even if you are standing on a beachMiguex
- that's ok Miguex because if the bottle reachs the 88 mph speed necessary for it to time travel, it should just travel back to just before it fell.kona
- true, what I'm worried about is it falling into a time loop, that could alter the space time continuum, eventually developing into an inter dimensional portalMiguex
- I don't trust it...pango
- Wine is already packaged ffsMrT
- Looks like school projectBennn
- Looks like the same series of that shoe box.pango
- Finally! I've broken 23 bottles so far this year because I have no idea how to hold them, perfect for a retard like me! Thanks wine buddy!_niko

I'm looking to pull in some package design into my student's skateboard design projects. I had the idea this morning that we take their final designs and get stickers made and create our own Tech Deck-style finger boards. We can design the backer boards, print and simulate die-cut by hand or with Cricuit/Cameo. I can make all of that happen.
I've searched the web for DIY vacuum seal blister pack stuff but all of it seems beyond my means/abilities. Anyone have any contacts or suggestions for custom 'trapped blister' vendor?
- Look into vacuum-forming companies locally, perhaps? Maybe even hacker spaces?Nairn
- ffs, nairn. "I've searched the web for DIY vacuum seal.."Nairn
- hahaha. ffs nairn. I've searched the web for DIY vacuum seal. There's a few YT videos out there but they are using vacuum presses and custom stuffmisterhow
- Vaccuform is the answer. You can get a simple one on ebay for a couple hundred bucks. You add your own shop vac and purchase sheets for forming onlinescarabin
