Krateandco.com approached DefProc looking for someone to laser engrave client images into their clear acrylic trainer boxes which would later be used for commercial purposes.

@Krateandco originally asked for 100 crates to be laser engraved, but due to the clients quota changing in total 140 crates where required. Def Proc was able to adapt easily to the new requirements.

Each crate was carefully produced in the same way for uniformity. Firstly the product was engraved with a specific image required by Asics, followed by a thorough vacuum to remove any traces of acrylic dust, wiped over with acetone and repacked in to Krate & Co’s protective bags. You can watch the production of the laser engraving in the video below:

The initial product was to be used as a part of Asics Naked, Copenhagen in-store launch as a limited edition shoe box to encase the trainers.

Krate & Co were essentially pleased with the completed work and the samples were well received by all involved.
