Studio On Fire’s design team expertly crafted the artwork for Dancing Goat Garden’s new packaging lineup. To ensure their packaging stood out in the competitive marketplace, Dancing Goat wanted artwork that highlighted our unique impression-based print methods. The intricate designs we created, which utilized letterpress, foil stamping, and heated blind techniques, made the most of the premium printing process.

Once the artwork was finalized, we were ready to move into production. Our production process always begins with our talented team of pre-press production artists. This highly specialized team prepares the artwork for proofing. This detailed and time-consuming process is the foundation for mastery of our unique printing techniques. Once the art files are ready for print, plates, cutting dies, and materials are ordered while the presses are prepped.

For Dancing Goat Gardens packaging, the printing process began with multiple passes through our letterpress department. Inks were hand mixed to custom match the specified Pantone (PMS). On top of the ink, metallic gold foil was hot stamped into the paper’s surface, adding bright contrast and a lux feel. Heated blind stipple texture was the last step on press before these were die-cut and run through our folder gluer. These sleeves plus a rigid tray fitted with a custom insert were assembled and shipped to Dancing Goat Gardens, ready to be filled with their Lil’ or Half Tokies pre-rolls.
