Pet Food Shelf Hangers
Also known as "wobblers" because they wobble on the shelves these hangers are being used to promote pet food supplements. Split over 5 languages, 4 colour printing both sides on a gloss art board was followed by gloss laminating both sides. Cutting out was particularly tricky due to a demanding design which highlighted the smallest imperfection. The products were finished with the application of double sided tape to allow them to be fixed to the shelves in the shop.
