Carla Maristany, new packaging specialist working from Base’s Barcelona office

While we’ve never been strangers to the world of packaging, our packages have typically been vehicles for delivering our graphic work rather than central pillars themselves of our projects. But with the hiring of packaging specialist Carla Maristany, that is about to change. Working from our Barcelona office, Carla comes to us with 14 years of packaging experience. As we look forward to developing packaging projects in the future, we give you here some of Base’s packaging projects from the past.
