Display briefcase for coloured draining concrete samples

A customized case to display a range of coloured concrete

This briefcase aims to present the six colours shown in the catalogue and the draining properties of a concrete, using an “aquablier” supplied by the customer (a transparent PVC demonstrator based on a clepsydra, in which water flows through a sample of draining concrete).

The briefcase consists of four welded PVC flaps with cardboard reinforcement for improved resistance. On the right inner flap of the case, a foam shape has been precisely cut to house the “aquablier” tool and our customer’s six draining concrete samples. Grip holes make the samples easier to take out. The left inner flap also includes a foam shape, which adjusts to the first shape, to securely hold the samples and the aquablier during transport.

A fully customized display case to meet regional specificities

As the display briefcases had to be declined in six different versions, depending on regional specificities and the origin of the aggregates, Design Duval chose digital printing on welded PVC to print the six selected pictures on the top of the box.

In order to meet the client’s request of a global service, Design Duval also used its know-how in the production and shaping of the samples. Our team produced and tinted the draining concrete samples using the ingredients (aggregate, cement and colour pigments) supplied by the client and according to his procedure. On this project, we worked in close collaboration with our client: one of his technicians came to our factory to validate the conformity of the samples.

Design Duval, specialist in manufacturing on order, designed and created the case, manufactured the samples and fitted the samples and the aquablier tool in the case, for a ready-to-use coloured concrete sample set.
