Workshop summary:

Metal ruler
Masking tape
Cutting mat
Double sided tape
Plasters (just in case!)

About Mat:

Mat Bogust is a structural cardboard engineer. He says that it’s all about creating more than just a box, not the same old shit!

THINK Packaging has started a cardboard revolution, challenging clients opinions that a standard box template is ‘good enough’. Well, it’s not. Not to Mat, he’s on a quest to put the sexy back into packaging.
