This weeks guests are Mackenzie and Ron from Macaroni Creative out of Queens, NY.
In this episode we are deep-diving into the pouch packaging for Bare Bones Bone Broth. Ron and Mackenzie tell us about how this customer and packaging project came to be and some of the challenges they had to tackle along the way. From having printers on the other side of the country to trying to match brand colours across different print mediums, we really get into it.
We talk about their individual paths that led to Macaroni Creative as well as the first-ever print projects they were a part of. One of my favorite parts of these episodes is the part about their earliest memory of print or packaging. That one printed thing they remember being really excited about as a kid.
I had a great time nerding out about print and packaging with these two talented creatives. You'll really dig this one! @macaroni_creative
