    A synth module in one colour on chipboard

    A modular-synth front panel, knobs, jacks and labels, letterpressed in black on natural kraft chipboard so the packaging reads like the instrument.

    Boxes for 1979 (Nineteen Seventy Nine) with 6 × 5 × 1.5 in folding chipboard, natural kraft board, 1-colour letterpress, black and score and fold.

    Two rules

    1. 01Letterpress on chipboard. Letterpress with firm impression. The bite gives the knob rings a physical edge.
    2. 02One colour. Black only. The kraft is the second colour.
