HOME VIDEO
Major studios turn to Shorewood Packaging to design and develop traffic-stopping packaging to help make their films and TV shows a hit a second time, at retail. A steady stream of new disc packaging products and customized box sets provide our customers with expanding choices for single and multi-disc releases as well as limited edition collections. With our speed-to-market focus, manufacturing power and superb quality systems, we are able to make last minute changes in a short amount of time, while still meeting our customers’ launch dates for new titles.
MUSIC
Shorewood produces more than half of the world’s music packaging and printed graphics, serving nearly every label and many of the leading recording artists of our time. One of the company’s first achievements was the introduction of the Shorepak®, a one-piece record jacket that quickly became the standard throughout the record industry in the United States, Canada and Europe. From there, Shorewood grew into one of the zxtop suppliers for the international music industry, keeping pace with over 5 decades of music packaging.
Today, our special packaging team answers the call for one-of-a-kind packaging that showcases our customers’ special releases – from music compilations to special collector’s editions. The process begins with “out-of-the-box” brainstorming which leads to 4-color renderings and prototype samples of several design concepts for customer consideration. Special packaging projects often utilize multiple printing techniques, diverse substrates and non-traditional components, necessitating teamwork from several Shorewood facilities to turn concept into reality.
VIDEO GAMES
We have been involved with the concept, design and manufacture of packaging for video games in all game formats - from PCs and consoles to the latest hand-held devices on the market. We work with some of the largest customers in the industry to manufacture award-winning products that generate millions of dollars in sales. With the increasing popularity of video games, Shorewood Packaging is always coming up with creative structure and graphic designs that stand out on the crowded retail shelves.
