Nostell Estate

Customer

The award-winning Nostell Estate business park is nestled in leafy parklands beside the National Trust – Nostell Priory, located on the outskirts of Wakefield. The historic Estate Yard and contemporary Rear Walled Garden house 50 offices, along with modern social and meeting spaces in spectacular natural surroundings.

The Challenge

The Nostell Estate decided to send a seasonal gift to its tenants as a gesture of appreciation for their continued support. They also wanted to involve Little Bakes, who have recently taken over the catering in the Meridian Café located in the heart of the Estate, which has gained popularity for its delicious baked treats. Little Bakes were commissioned to create an enticing selection of cakes, and the challenge to us was to design a gift box that would both protect these festive treats and present them as a thoughtful, seasonal gift.

The Solution

After exploring several design options, we designed a sturdy box from boxboard, precisely sized to hold six cupcakes. To keep costs down, the box was supplied flat and made from a single 46cm x 55cm piece of board.

Each box was branded “Little Bakes at the Nostell Estate” logo and lined with Nostell Estate’s branded biodegradable greaseproof paper, finished with a glittering gold ribbon for an elegant touch.
