Photos from Envy Prototypes's post
A fun project from Alex Brands - we built a 6+ foot to scale model of Plinkode - a modern twist on the classic game plinko.
It's that time of year again - Toy Fair at the New York Javits Center. A big shout out to all of our customers at the show. It's always great working with you.
To commerate today's release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, here are some photos of a prototype display we developed with Propel for their retail customers. Complete with LED light strips, built in video, and floating display - this was a lot of fun to create! A final version of this display is currently in over 5,000 retail stores. By the way, the drones (pictured in the Bed Bath & Beyond concept/layout lab) are incredible!

June is the perfect time for a BBQ!
Introducing the new BBQ line from Corona. Envy helped launch the line at the Chicago Housewares Show. Check out our 3D renderings and prototype boxes!
Recycling one ton of cardboard:

Did You Know?
• Using prototypes can eliminate the need for sort-run box
production, just make what you need
• No plates to make
• No giant printing presses to run
• No product waste
• Fully recyclable
Prototype Fun Fact #3: The Envy production team has done so many dielines that they can do them in their sleep? No seriously, we do it all the time.
Prototype Fun Fact #9: Our prototypes can be found around the country in thousands of stores. We’re kinda celebrities around here :)
Our two biggest substrates we print on: Eflute and SBS, are tailored to the size of your box? Eflute for big boxes and SBS for small boxes.
Prototype Fun Fact #99: Did you know that half of our fun facts are about coffee? I swear we don’t have an addiction.
Chicago Housewares Show 2017.
Over 1,000 of our prototype boxes were on display at our customer's booths making this our biggest show yet. It was great seeing everyone in person as well as meeting new companies.
Hope to see you all in Chicago next year!
Chicago Housewares Show 2017 is here. Thank you to all of our customers who helped make this our biggest show to date!
Prototype Fun Fact #395: An Envy employee consumes 6.25 cups of coffee a day during the trade show season (November - May)? Yes we have a problem, but addiction has never tasted so good.
Prototype Fun Fact #56: Envy Prototypes spent years perfecting its dieline generation and production process to bring you a perfect box every time.
Prototype Fun Fact #951: Packaging can be stylish and functional? Take a look at a Chinese takeout container, it doubles as a plate.
Prototype Fun Fact #1000: Sometimes Boxception (The act of placing a box inside of another box) is needed in order to reduce your prototypes shipping costs.
Prototype Fun Fact #333: Big portion pictures on food packaging causes overeating? Changing that can make the world healthier!
Ring in the new year with new holographic prototype boxes. Call us for information and pricing
Did you know that bubble wrap has been scientifically proven to be an effective stress reliever?� Probably should keep a secret stash of it somewhere!
Prototype Fun Fact #100: Outsourcing your prototype packaging to us frees up your team to do other important things like filling the coffee machine or saving the world?
Prototype Fun Fact #1: Did you know our boxes are penguin safe? Neither do they… why would a penguin need a box?
Prototype Fun Fact #225: Boxing day is not a holiday based around cardboard boxes…. Bummer right?
Merry Christmas boxes and all!!
This holiday season give thanks for boxes. Without them, what would we use for the presents? Plastic? Fur?
Envy Prototypes made another appearance on ABC's Shark Tank last week. Congrats and a big shout out to Tiggs Chiriga and The Floating Mug Company
Fun Fact #24: During the holidays we send some employees over to help Santa with his boxes. Turns out there’s no height requirement.
Hope everyone had a relaxing (and filling) Thanksgiving weekend!
The scale shows that the Envy team rolled back into the office after consuming a combined total of 200lbs of turkey this Thanksgiving weekend. And the holidays have only just started!
From our family to yours, have a happy and safe Thanksgiving. Don’t eat too much turkey now.

It's been nearly a year since the creative and quirky team at Envy sat down and put their heads together to create a commercial. After much discussing and a LOT of coffee, the commercial was finished and needless to say became one of the team's favorite projects to date.
