Clapper-Clad Calling Cards

dpod and THINK Packaging Create a Visually Stimulating Resume

— May 23, 2012 — Art & Design
The design wizards at dpod and THINK Packaging put their heads together to create an innovative way for dpod to show its creative capabilities. The multimedia design firm offers design, photo, video, print and packaging to its clients. With so many services available, the firm needed a compact way to show its various wares.

The creative thinkers crafted a function clapper board out of cardboard and slipped a package of goodies inside. The package inside unfolds in a triptych style to reveal dpod's show reel, a glossy booklet, pro shot images and packaging designs. The clever packet itself further demonstrates the firm's creative capabilities making this dpod and THINK packaging collaboration an overwhelming success.

Thanks to its innovative design and sleek styling, prospective clients will be holding onto this cardboard clapper for years to come, making it the ideal calling card for any company.
