Plankz 52mm skateboard wheels with red graphics beside their printed packaging

01

Challenge

A product that has to sell twice: on the shelf and on the board.

Skateboard wheels are bought on sight. The graphics have to read on a small, curved, hard-wearing surface, and the pack has to stand out on a crowded shelf before anyone picks it up.

02

Approach

Product and pack were designed as one system rather than two separate jobs, so the wheel graphic and the packaging share the same language from the first sketch.

03

Strategy

Lead with a bold, simple graphic that survives real use, and let the packaging extend it rather than repeat it.

04

Design

Red wheel graphics printed directly onto the product, with printed packaging that carries the same energy and identity onto the shelf.

05

Development

Artwork prepared production-ready for printing on the wheel and the pack, with manufacturing coordinated through our product development work.

06

  • Wheel graphics for 52mm wheels
