The client required a distinctive housing or dispenser unit for the garlic-flavoured gum, one that reflected the quirky spirit of the campaign and could be rapidly produced in a limited run (150 units total). The design had to support branding, tactile engagement, and be fit for purpose in an experiential marketing environment.
At Nexform we undertook full CAD development of the gum housing, starting from the initial scope and visual brief supplied by the client. We created iterative sample versions using our in-house additive manufacturing capability (3D printing) to validate form, fit and finish at speed. This prototyping phase enabled fast turn-arounds, design tweaks and client-feedback cycles. Once the design was finalised we moved to production and manufactured the full run of 150 units. We leveraged internal rapid-prototyping (including additive processes) which allowed us to present physical samples early, refine the design, and deliver a unique product housing in record time. The additive approach meant changes could be implemented without lengthy tooling delays—ideal for a short-lead campaign activation.
The finished units provided the client with a distinctive, campaign-ready product housing that enhanced the garlic-gum concept, supported branding and created a memorable user experience. With the limited run executed smoothly and on time, the client was able to deploy the units in marketing activations, generate attention for the Halloween launch and reinforce brand differentiation.
