The CLAY Champagne carton photographed at a three-quarter turn with its candle still perched on top, so cream front and shadowed deep-green side panel both read in one frame. The glossy pitcher-shaped candle sits centred above the printed silhouette, its ombré lacquer fading from full green at the spout to a chalky pale base marked with the lowercase "clay." deboss; the side panel's blind-embossed scent-pyramid copy sits just out of full legibility in the raking light, more texture than text at this angle. It's a styling choice rather than a specification shot — showing how object and pack are meant to be seen together on a shelf. Packaging design for a New York candle brand, where every angle, not just the flat-on hero, has to hold up as a still life.

A single CLAY Champagne candle carton photographed straight-on and set small within a soft warm-grey field, casting a faint shadow. The cream front face carries the scent name "Champagne" in a small olive serif at the upper left, a smooth green-to-cream gradient silhouette of the brand's signature pitcher-shaped candle floating at centre, the scent notes "White florals. Honeysuckle. Prickly pear." stacked at lower left, and the lowercase hand-drawn "clay." wordmark in deep olive at lower right. Printed on uncoated cream paperboard with a matte, tactile surface, it shows how a restrained front face can carry an entire scent story. This is the kind of brand identity and carton design Art of Packaging develops for luxury candle brands in New York, where the printed silhouette doubles as the product's own portrait.The CLAY Champagne gift box shown part-opened: the printed cream outer sleeve is drawn to the left to reveal a fitted deep-green tray cradling the glossy green pitcher-shaped candle, with a slim dark-green matchbox seated in its own recess alongside. The candle's lacquered surface catches a soft highlight and shows the lowercase "clay" deboss near its pale ombré base. The sleeve repeats the scent name, gradient silhouette, notes and olive wordmark; tray and candle share a single tonal green. It is a two-piece rigid sleeve-and-tray build in colour-matched board — the structural packaging and fitted-insert engineering a candle set needs to feel considered from the first slide of the box, with vessel, tray and bespoke matchbox all tuned to one palette.An open-presentation view of the CLAY Champagne set: the cream printed sleeve stands upright at the left while the deep-green tray at the right holds the glossy green pitcher candle beside an open dark-green matchbox, its green-tipped matches visible in the drawer. The candle's ombré runs from saturated green at the spout to a chalky pale base stamped with the lowercase "clay" deboss. Tray, candle and matchstick tips are tuned to one continuous green against the warm cream board. Details like colour-matched matches are where a launch earns its positioning, and producing them — sourcing the matchbox, specifying the tip colour, matching it to the wax — is part of how AOFP Studio carries a new candle brand from concept through to a finished, shelf-ready gift set.
A single brown chicken egg stands upright on a flat white surface, centered against a clean light-grey studio background.

The stamp is the sole brand element — applied directly to the shell surface, no secondary packaging visible. Direct shell stamping as brand identity application; product photography and illustration. Studio portfolio work for a food or farm brand.
