Case Studies

Humanrace Skincare print and packaging engineered and produced by Black Ink Projects, featuring embossed GF Smith Colorplan papers.

“Working with GF Smith is utterly effortless, and of course rewarding. The product speaks for itself and so does the service. From samples to shipping, it’s all very polished and reliable.”

Haden Gaynor from Black Ink Projects

Humanrace Skincare is a collection of all-gender skincare products created with the belief that, now more than ever, nothing is more important to humanity than our unified health and wellbeing.

Black Ink Projects collaborated with Humanrace to turn a conceptual drawing into an award-winning global product and brand.

The packaging was produced using GF Smith Colorplan Ice White with a Smooth emboss, GF Smith Colorplan Pale Grey with a Granular emboss, and Ice White with a Sandgrain emboss. The project has pushed print processes, utilising screen printing, lithography, foiling and embossing, whilst achieving consistency of the now iconic Humanrace green throughout. Sustainability is at the core of the entire project, from the sculpted cornstarch foam encasing the interior, to the rigid outer mailer crafted from paper-covered fluting, finished beautifully with a Pantone-printed, embossed Colorplan label.
