Design and production of packaging for Katja Koselj Jewellery

Dandanes je vloga videza embalaže vedno pomembnejša in je zato eden izmed bistvenih elementov pri darilni embalaži. Ker embalaža s svojo podobo izraža tudi kakovost izdelka, je le-ta včasih še pomembnejša kot izdelek, ki ga predstavlja. Potemtakem je pomembno, da je kakovostna, preprosta, koristna in okolju prijazna. V diplomskem delu smo predstavili izdelavo in načrtovanje embalaže za slovenski ročno izdelani nakit oblikovalke Katje Koselj. V pregledu literature smo opisali pojem embalaže, njeno vlogo, mogoče materiale in uporabo tehnike tiska za tovrstne embalaže. Poleg tega smo primerjali izdelavo embalaž za ročno izdelan nakit na slovenskem in tujih trgih. Po obsežnem pregledu smo se lotili oblikovanja in izdelave embalaže. V diplomskem delu smo predstavili skice izbrane embalaže, izbrali ustrezne materiale in metode izdelave. Po končani konstrukciji embalaže smo vključili tudi dizajn. Rezultat diplomskega dela je končni estetsko dovršen in uporaben dizajn embalaže, pa tudi njena izdelava. Oblikovalka Katja Koselj bo izdelano embalažo lahko uporabljala za svoj ročno izdelan nakit.Nowadays, the importance of the packing appearance became greater than ever and represents one of the key elements of gift packaging. Since packaging also showcases for the quality of the product, it can sometimes be even more important than the product itself. Therefore, it is essential that it is well-made, simple, functional and environment friendly. In this diploma thesis the design and production of packaging for the Slovenian handmade jewellery designer, Katja Koselj, are described. In the thesis\u27s state of the art, the concept of packaging, its functions, materials and printing techniques, are thoroughly described. For a deeper insight the comparison between the Slovenian and the international packaging market was conducted. After extensive literature review, the design of the packaging and its production followed. Here, we presented the construction of sketches for selected packaging, which then continued with the choices of the materials and concluded with the choice of the production\u27s methods. After our construction was done we included design. The result of this thesis is the final sophisticated yet useful package design and its production for handmade jewellery. In the end, designer Katja Koselj can use packaging products for her handmade jewellery
