    paper Reese Cargo Bag Packaging

    This project is part of my work with Firts Brands Group and all rights belong to REESE®.

    The 2024 Reese Carg Bag is made of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) fabric and has triple welded seams for added strength. It is available in two sizes, 20 CuFt and 15 CuFt, and it fits all kinds of cars with or without roof racks.

    To emphasise the product’s main features—easy fitting and handling—I utilised a simple white design with a big lifestyle photo. Additionally, I considered trilingual packaging for brand consistency and placement in several regions. Together with the product and engineering teams, we developed a full cardboard box that successfully withholds product during transport.

    paper TRICO® Packaging Line Update

    TRICO® faces numerous obstacles as it attempts to meet new packaging rules and increase its trade in Europe. EU standard standards do not allow plastic clamshell packaging, and the corporation rapidly needed to reengineer their packaging strategy.

We also managed to reduce waste by downsizing our number of retail boxes from 12 to just 4. All blades sizes could fit these boxes.

    paper FRAM® Amazon Packaging Proposal

    The sales department approached us with a request to create a packaging line plan for oil filters specifically for Amazon after FRAM® and Amazon reached a new agreement about online sales in which Amazon would sell FRAM filters on its behalf. I suggested a 3 mm full-body cardboard box with a simple layout based on the best, better, and good quality requirements. Large product images, the three language translations, and particular Fram® subbrand colors were all retained. A water base varnish finish was added to help adjust packaging, recycling, and cost reduction company policy.

    paper DURALAST® Sleeve Packaging proposal 2025

    In terms of US market regulations concerning plastic packaging, 2025 represents a significant shift that aims to promote recycling and reduce plastic waste. It is now necessary for all brands to make certain improvements, so Duralast had to update its packaging systems.
    I had the chance to develop a proposal for a new product, DURALAST® Reveal, a premium blade model that recently received a brand-new adapter and a wear rubber blade treatment. I suggested using recyclable clamshell packaging with a unique sleeve inspired by water droplets to maintain Duralast’s credibility on the market while still being visually appealing to consumers.
