Comments: Product benefits are illustrated through the use of a lenticular hologram mounted to the header panels. SBS was used for the headers and shelf covers to convey a high-end look. The corrugated display system was created around one central element: a generic sidekick. Three different units are constructed from this single element. This helped minimize component costs and waste, simplified production and assembly, and meant that common components could be re-run in the future.
