EA Sports
Electronic Arts, an American video game company, joined forces with the NFL (National Football League) to introduce their latest video game, NFL Madden 23. Named after the iconic John Madden, a prominent figure in the NFL, the Madden NFL series has a rich legacy, dating back to the early days of John Madden Football. Despite John Madden’s passing on December 28, 2021, his legacy endures, with EA holding exclusive rights from the NFL to develop simulation games based on the league. Madden NFL not only entertains but also educates, deepening the passion for football among fans, players, and enthusiasts. EA and Magellan collaborated to create a luxurious video package to honour John Madden, showcase his journey within the game, and unveil the new Madden NFL 23.
Crafted from robust grey board material and adorned with carefully chosen designer paper, the video box boasts an elegant aesthetic. The entire box surface features a full CMYK custom print, enhancing vibrancy and intricate detailing, complemented by an anti-scuff lamination finish for long-lasting pristine quality. Inside, the base is lined with AstroTurf, evoking the feel of football stadium grass and weaving a connection between the sport and the packaging. This immersive design conjures cherished memories and creates a lasting impression.
Video, Shelf & Printing
The box houses a 7-inch video screen on the inner lid, ready to immerse viewers in John Madden’s world and the exciting game features. Four captivating 15-minute videos delve into John Madden’s life and the game’s innovations. These videos explore gameplay intricacies, cutting-edge graphics, and innovative movements that enhance the gaming experience. A built-in light sensor activates the screen upon box opening, and a strategically placed charging port ensures uninterrupted viewing.
Upon opening the box, a CMYK custom-printed shelf pays tribute to John Madden while concealing the merchandise. This dual-purpose, black line board shelf features precise die-cutting for a sleek black border that harmonizes with the overall design. A strategically placed thumbhole ensures effortless lifting without disrupting the captivating graphics. The shelf not only conveys appreciation to John Madden but also adds sophistication to the presentation, with an attached ribbon keeping the box open for display.
