About Game Fuel Team Optic Champions Can Packaging
Game Fuel Team Optic Champions Can is a limited edition beverage can created for the gaming community. The flagship packaging design was adapted to reflect the Optic Gaming team, whose members wear white during tournament play. White forms the background of the can, with accents of green. A custom illustration of each team member is presented as a photorealistic portrait. Direct printing, tactile varnish and a raised three dimensional finish emboss the entire body of the can. A matte ink finish in selected areas highlights the metallic tones.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The design team created a custom illustration of each member of the team. What sets these commemorative cans apart is the technology used in executing the photo realistic portraits. The cans were printed with a direct printing process, tactile varnish, and raised 3D finish. This gave the cans a premium feel, as they were embossed across the entire body of the can and illustration. A matte finish on the ink in selective areas made the metallics pop, for a completely custom look and feel.
- Inspiration
- Mtn Dew AMP Game Fuel Optic Champions Ltd Ed Cans were developed as a show of love and dedication to the gaming community. MTN DEW adapted the flagship packaging design to reflect crucial aspects of the Optic Gaming team. The team is notorious for wearing Championship whites on tournament Sundays, so it was important for the color white to play prominently into the design. This led to a modern design with an all white background and pops of green.
