Razor

Razor made a riptacular decision by enrolling EDG to redesign
their existing Ripstik packaging series: The Classic, DLX,
and “The Grinder.”

Packaging

This unique caster board received the Toy
of the Year (TOYT) when it was initially introduced, however, Razor’s packaging wasn’t up to the challenge a product with such success demanded. With several structural flaws, the boxes were often damaged by the time they reached the
store shelf. In addition, the graphics needed a facelift and the board had unique design aspects that needed to be featured viewable through the package. Thus the challenge was great; find a way to achieve a formidable shelf impact that appealed
to the young and fickle Ripstik demographic, prominently featured the board’s unique pivoting deck and grinding bar, while creating a structure that was both strong and compact. In the end, EDG designers engineered a triangular carton that dramatically reduced the amount of corrugated e-flute, was significantly
stronger than its predecessor’s traditional box, and had stellar graphics to boot. Most impressively, the compact design allowed Razor to pack 50% more product into every freight container.
