Custom Hexagon Boxes: The New Trend in Packaging

In the world of packaging, innovation is the key to standing out. Custom Hexagon Boxes are the latest trend that has taken the market by storm. These boxes have unique shapes and make products noticeable on store shelves. Their six-sided design provides a unique aesthetic appeal that is hard to ignore.

Why Choose Custom Hexagon Boxes?

One main reason businesses opt for Custom Hexagon Boxes is their distinctive shape. Hexagon boxes have a modern and stylish look because of their geometric shape. They are different from square or rectangular boxes. This shape looks good and provides added protection to the products inside. A six-sided design protects The product from all angles, reducing damage during transit.

Another significant advantage of these boxes is the customization options they offer. With Custom Hexagon Boxes, businesses can add a touch of luxury to their packaging. The Hexagon closure keeps the box closed, making the products inside more secure. This feature is especially beneficial for high-end products requiring an extra protection layer. The Hexagon closure makes the packaging look classy and attractive to customers.

The Rise of Custom-Printed Hexagon Boxes

Custom Printed Hexagon Boxes are another trend gaining popularity in the packaging industry. These boxes come with a Hexagon closure, but what sets them apart is the custom printing option. Businesses can get their logo, brand name, or any other design printed on these boxes.  However, The packaging looks better, and people recognize the brand more. Customers remember the brand better when they see a box with its logo. That makes them think of the brand more often.

Businesses can make their brand stand out by using packaging that has magnets and their logo. The logo on the box reminds customers about the brand, so they remember it. It can be helpful for new businesses trying to build their brand in the market.

Choosing the Right Hexagon Box Manufacturer

When choosing a Hexagon Box composer, businesses need to be careful. The quality of the boxes plays a crucial role in determining the success of the packaging. A low-quality box can damage the product inside, leading to customer dissatisfaction. So, choosing a manufacturer known for its quality products is essential.

If your business needs good boxes that have cost too much, try reasonably with the best quality Custom Boxes Wholesale. Buying in large quantities also guarantees a constant supply for businesses. That prevents any disruptions in the packaging process.

The Future of Packaging: Closure Boxes and More

Hexagon Closure Custom Boxes are the beginning. In the future, the packaging industry will see more innovations because of technology. Packaging is getting more elegant and sustainable, with options that interact with customers. The future looks promising.

Incorporating Sustainability with Custom Hexagon Boxes

As people become more conscious, they pressure businesses to adopt sustainable practices. Packaging plays a pivotal role in this transition. On the other hand, businesses can create unique hexagon boxes to prove their commitment to the environment.

Using recycled or sustainable materials, custom packaging with a logo benefits the environment. It also reduces carbon emissions. Consumers now want brands with similar values, and they focus on sustainability. Businesses can help the environment by using Custom Printed Hexagon Boxes. Customers like these boxes.

The Versatility of Custom Hexagon Boxes

One of the standout features of Custom Hexagon Boxes is its versatility. These boxes are not limited to a specific industry or product type. The hexagonal design fits cosmetics, electronics, jewelry, and gourmet foods. The Hexagon closure keeps things safe, so it's good for many things.

Custom Boxes allow businesses to experiment with different designs and finishes. The options are endless, whether a matte finish for a minimalist look or a glossy one for a touch of luxury. Businesses can customize their packaging to match their brand and attract desired customers.

Engaging Customers with Interactive Packaging

The future of packaging is more than looking good or keeping things safe. Technological advancements let Custom Hexagon Boxes include QR codes and augmented reality features. Customers can use a QR code to get special deals, learn about products, and connect with brands. Moreover, Customers feel more connected to the brand and find it easier to unpack products.

Custom Hexagon Packaging with a Logo can also incorporate these interactive elements. Imagine this: a customer scans the logo on the box it's transported to a virtual brand world. In this world, they can get insights, tutorials, or even try on virtual products. Such innovations can revolutionize the way customers perceive and interact with a brand.

Hexagon Custom Boxes: A Reflection of Brand Identity

Every brand wants to stand out from competitors by having a unique identity in the market. Hexagon Custom Boxes have a unique shape and many customization options, which helps a brand stand out. They are not containers; they are a reflection of what the brand stands for and the values it upholds.

For example, a luxury brand may choose Custom Hexagon Boxes with a velvet finish. A sustainable brand may prefer materials for its Custom Hexagon Packaging with Logo. How a brand packages its products says a lot about its values and goals.

Innovative Design Meets Functionality

It would be a mistake to overlook the enticing Hexagon Custom boxes because of their benefits. The hexagonal shape, apart from being striking, offers structural integrity. This design protects delicate items from outside pressures, keeping the contents safe.

Additionally, adding Hexagon closures to packaging with a custom logo provides security. However, Hexagon Closure Boxes ensure the contents remain intact, preventing accidental spillage or damage. Many businesses prefer these boxes because of their innovative design and functionality.

Customization: The Key to Brand Recognition

In today's competitive market, brand recognition is paramount. Brands can customize each box from Custom Boxes Wholesale to make them recognizable. Brand colors, logos, or design elements help people remember a brand.

Imagine a customer receiving a product in a Custom Hexagon Box. Opening the box feels incredible because of the Hexagon closure and one-of-a-kind design. However, It will leave a strong impression. Every time a similar box catches their eye, it reminds them of that experience and, in turn, the brand.

The Role of Hexagon Box Suppliers in Shaping Brand Image

Choosing the right Hexagon Box composer is crucial. If a manufacturer knows a brand's vision and values, they can make packaging that shows them. Hexagon Custom Boxes match the brand's identity and quality.

A trustworthy manufacturer keeps up with new trends and innovations in packaging. In Addition, this partnership helps brands provide customers with new and intriguing packaging options. That also helps brands strengthen their position in the market.

Final Thoughts: The Endless Possibilities with Custom Boxes

The world of packaging is ever-evolving, with new trends emerging.  Hexagon Custom Boxes lead this change with their one-of-a-kind design and customization options. Brands can show who they are, interact with customers, and keep products safe. Moreover, Brands are discovering many possibilities with these boxes.

On the outskirts of Pahrump, Nevada, is a massive sign reading COFFINWOOD and a monstrous menagerie of custom tombstones, refurbished hearses and dangling skeletons. It’s a custom coffin factory, wedding chapel, hearse garage and pet cemetery on the doorstep of Death Valley.

If you drive by at night, flashing lights are synchronized to haunted house music that you can tune into on your car radio.

Coffinwood is the coffin-themed complex of Bryan and Dusty Schoening that includes their home, gardens, garages, workshops, chapel, pet-cemetery, church of the coffin and business “Coffin-It-Up.”

Coffinwood is the fusion of death, fun and romance.

In 1997, Bryan’s parents and dog were tragically killed by a drunk driver. Bryan was revolted by his experience with the funeral industry. In particular, the upselling of poor quality caskets to the grieving.

Years later, his daughter asked him to make a coffin for Halloween. Bryan, a trained carpenter, thought it would be simple, but found the angles and design a rewarding challenge.

Bryan decided to dedicate himself to coffin-making and doing his part to make the funeral experience easier, more affordable and more personalized for others.

Bryan is the only coffin maker in Nevada and one of only a few in the United States. The US is one of the few countries that uses caskets instead of coffins.

What’s the difference? Coffins have 6 sides, usually tapering at the ankles and shoulders so as to reflect the shape of their eternal cargo better, whereas Caskets only have 4 sides. Coffins generally have a removable lid with no hinges and caskets have a bifurcated lid on hinges.

Dusty and Bryan met in California protesting the treatment of Circus Elephants and they have been together for over 30 years. They even have a dedicated grave in their pet cemetery in remembrance of Stoney, an elephant in Las Vegas killed by mishandling.

They share a love of the macabre. Dusty has a collection of 12 Hearses that Bryan helps her refurbish. Four of the vintage hearses are currently driveable.

The couple exudes dedication and romance. There is so much devotion at Coffinwood that people began asking the couple to marry them.

After so many people requested weddings, they began the Church Of The Coffin and Bryan became an ordained minister so they could legally marry couples in their outdoor gazebo chapel shaped like, you guessed it, a coffin.

As American burial culture turns towards cremation and the living want more coffin accoutrement, Coffinwood is evolving. Bryan makes many urns and has also branched out into cabinetry, purses, ring boxes, garden boxes and luggage.

As Coffinwood seeks to enhance our relationship with death, the couple is also seeking to preserve life. Bryan speaks at the local schools about the dangers of impaired driving and the loss of his parents.

He invites the students to Coffinwood for workshops and is serious when he offers a sober, no-judgement ride home anytime.

Most Tuesdays the Church Of The Coffin holds non-denominational services and annually, they bury a themed coffin and put up a headstone to commemorate and celebrate the passing of another year.

Even if you can’t make it to Coffinwood, the recognizable hexagonal, coffin-shaped wedding gazebo and garden planters are visible from GoogleEarth and space.

Boring Maiden Whom I Love

Hi have this shitty late Valentine's Special I spent almost an entire week mauling over. I love shrine maiden Leo so much-

Synopsis: While visiting a shrine on the outskirts of the city, you encounter a shrine maiden who seems to not enjoy your presence, to say the least. Despite his bitter self, you can't help but be enamoured by his beauty.

Word Count: 2.7K+

Based off this post and this post.

Tw: anxiety (Leo-), mentions of past isolation, angst but fluff ending

After a never-ending barrage of suggestions from your co-workers and friends, you've finally decided to visit the shrine at the edge of the city. When you arrived, already the place was intriguing, to say the least. You see a few small statues leading up the path of the entrance, all of the statues being adorable animals. Towards the end of the path, you notice a shrine maiden cleaning off dust and dirt with a broom, seemingly occupied with his thoughts.

Wow, he's pretty.

You silently slip past the shrine maiden, not wanting to disturb his job. But you stop by a disgruntled mumble from the shrine maiden himself, “Why is someone here this early in the morning? Please don’t tell me it’s another tourist…” He pauses his brooming to swiftly walk before you; seemingly getting ready for customers. You stare at his fading form, admiring the gentle flow of his cobalt-coloured skirt. He was sassy but gloriously ethereal. You wondered how someone so beautiful is doing such a job as a shrine maiden. Surely people should be crowding around him, wanting to engorge themselves on his appearance. But then again, you kind of liked having this secret, knowing that he’s not constantly focused on by the public. And maybe, if you’re lucky, you can catch his interest.

You drag along, finally ascending the stairs of the entryway. You freeze, stunned by the intricacy of all the statues, buildings, and gates of the shrine. Waves, divots, and several patterns are covered in the structures, enhancing their decoration. “Well did you come here to stare at things? Because if you are, I would love to get back to my reading.” You turn to the shrine maiden whose leaning on furniture filled with stacks of small drawers. The same frown graces his face, obviously expressing his annoyance. Quickly, you scramble a response, “Uh no, I um, I guess it’s my first time visiting any Shinto shrine so I don’t really know what you do…?” A silent moment hangs down on the conversation, quite awkward. The shrine maiden smirks before explaining, “Shrine maidens do all sorts of things: exorcisms, cleansing if you want to call it that, and fortune drawing…Oh and cleaning this place.”

“Fortune drawing? Shouldn’t it be fortune telling?” You question, skeptical of his choice of words. He shakes his head, “No, unlike fortune telling, we don’t tell you the fortune rather we help you draw it. Then you read it for yourself.” He opens the bottom drawer of the furniture, its size much larger than the ones above. He reveals a hexagonal wooden cylinder, a small slit apparent at the top. “Wanna try?” He jiggles the box a little, a sound of jingling items within resounding. “Sure.”

In an instant, you notice his demeanour change, now much more serious and intent. He shakes the box, shuffling it to ensure randomness. He tips the box down, holding his hand out over the slit, ready for the fortune to slip through. A thin stick pops out, and Leo flips the box over once more after he grabs the fortune. “25…” He mutters, heading over to the tiny drawers to take out a piece of paper. He hands you the parchment, now back to his laid-back personality.

You read the paper, frowning slightly when it says 'tremendously bad fortune'. "What does it say?" He inquires, acknowledging your change in expression. You look up at him, displaying the paper, "Bad fortune." He stills and blanks out for a second before sauntering over to a metal rack. "Unlike bitchy fortune tellers who say you're at doom's doorstep, you can tie your bad fortune to dispel it. Which then turns into good fortune.” You notice a number of small papers knotted onto the metal bars: some neat, others not so much.

You step over next to him and fold the fortune, trying to transform it into a line-like form. Curling one end under the bar, you encircle the material over the freezing metallic medium. You struggle to tie it into a knot, unused to such a method of tying. The shrine maiden notices your unskilled attempt at knotting and interjects, “Here, let me do it.” 

He gracefully slips the paper from underneath your hands and effortlessly weaves it into a tie. He was so close to you, you could even see the stain of his teeth. There’s no denying, he was charming, and you were falling for it. Yet you’ve just barely met him…Which was odd, to say the least.

“There, you should have good fortune now.” He stands back to glance at you, a bit of amusement swirling in his eyes. “Too impressive for you?” He remarks, a cocky grin forming on his face. You looked so silly staring blankly at the rack before you; even a child would laugh.

“Huh? Oh yeah, sure.” You respond voice monotone. He chuckles a little, head cocking to the side slightly. “Well, I’ve been doing knotting since I was a kid.” He proudly swishes his skirt, the fabric fluttering like a bird’s wings. If only he knew, you weren’t impressed by the knotting; rather the one who knotted the paper. 

He gives you a small tour of the shrine after that, a little less bitter as time goes on. Yet at certain moments, you notice he avoids answering questions. As if he’s embarrassed to reveal the truth. But soon enough the wandering comes to an end. The shrine maiden stands at the gate of the shrine, clutching the folds of his skirt gently.

“Now you’re more cultured with Shinto shrines.” He declares in a smug tone, trying to irk you. You smile and stare back at him, admiring the sunlight on his green skin. How you wish you could be closer to him: not a stranger, but rather a friend, and maybe even a lover. 

“Bye.” You give a blunt greeting, waving to him. He only gives a nod and turns back to head to the shrine. You copy his action, only to stop in place. You never asked what his name was. You whip around and call out to him, “Hey! I never asked your name!” He looks over his shoulder in surprise, mouth slightly agape.

“Leonardo.”

——————————————————

As the season turns from spring to summer, you’ve become much more acquainted with him; spending at least two days a week at the shrine whenever he’s working his weekly shifts. The unfamiliarity and coldness of your relationship washed away; replaced with a kinder tone.

He smiles a bit more and doesn’t try to hit you with his broom every three seconds. His gaze wasn’t so dark and empty, it was now with a glimmer that was warm, serene. On some days you notice he seems almost excited to see you like he was patiently waiting for you to arrive. But maybe it’s your imagination, because why would he want to talk to some random person who almost creepily visits the days he’s on shift?

The summer morning was hot, your skin feeling like burning away. Yet you trudged up the stairs, finding more importance in meeting your crush. When you arrived at the shrine area you notice he’s nowhere to be seen; in fact, no one’s here as usual, and he’s the only one here often. You then hear faint laughter, muffled by the walls of the buildings. You approach the source of the noise, wondering who it might be.

“I guess the fish that end up on land are…washed up!” The laugh belonged to no other than Leonardo himself, and it was adorable in a peculiar way. You stand behind a wall, listening to him make jokes and puns. He’s never laughed in front of you before; sure, he’s chuckled a few times but nothing too expressive. You liked it. You liked the sound of his giggles; perhaps even love. A few minutes later, you reveal yourself and walk up to him. He instantly freezes and stares at you, his eyes wide in embarrassment. “You didn’t hear anything.” You smile and raise an eyebrow, finding his shyness amusing. “No of course I didn’t, I sincerely did not hear you laugh at your own jokes.” He rests his elbows on the table he sits at, covering his face. “Leave me alone…I just can’t share them with anybody.”

Can’t? What does he mean by can’t? They weren’t too bad when you heard them earlier. “What do you mean can’t?” You sit down across from him, glancing at his face occasionally. He pauses and looks away, propping his face into his hand. You can tell it’s something sensitive. You should tell him he doesn’t have to- “Well, I don’t have any friends.” 

You blink, processing the information. Have no friends? He’s so pretty how could he not have friends? Nonetheless a significant other. Your thoughts race through your mind, creating question after question. “Can I ask…why?”

He looks back at you, his eyes now blackened with something grim, horrifyingly dark. “All my life, my dad never really let us leave the house or shrine that much. Me and my brothers always felt isolated, hidden away. So even now I rarely talk to anyone outside my family: I’m just not used to it.”

That’s why. That’s why he isn’t a famous model or dating a celebrity—he was alone. Is that why he seemed to be excitedly talking to you? Why his smile seemed to dampen when you left? It hurt your heart a little, knowing someone so majestic feels such a negative feeling like loneliness. “I can be your friend if you want.” You impulsively blurt, your brain betraying your dignity.

He pauses, surprised by your offer. He leans his cheek on his fingers and smiles. “Sure, if it means I get to annoy you with the jokes I’ve stored all these years.” You frown-smile and shake your head, a little scared about what’s going to come next. “I’m gonna hope they aren’t too bad.” His warm smile turns into a devious smirk. He’s definitely thinking of something bad…Really bad.

“Well I think my jokes are pretty shelly~” He chirps, eyes narrowing in amusement. You laugh a little, finding his pun cute. “Whatever you say, Leonardo.” He stills for a moment, staring deeply into your eyes.

“Call me Leo.” He turns his head away, a touch of scarlet burning on his crescent stripes. He seems to not know what else to say. You blink, realizing the meaning of this statement. He officially thinks you're friends.

"Of course, Leo."

——————————————————

 Fuck, why did it have to be today that you have all these errands to do? Instead of planning for the feared Valentine's Day, you have to run around doing dull tasks. It frustrates you, knowing that your patience of a year is ripped apart.

You've waited so long to ask Leo out, pondering days upon days whether or not the time was right. Yet to your best luck, Valentine's Day came around: the perfect and most romantic time to invite him to an outing. And perhaps the highest chances of acceptance it'll ever be.

Oh, but the nature of society has damned you into activities you wanted to burn. You want to run away and hug Leo so tightly; aggression for adorableness activating. You want to see his flustered face and loss for words. He was cute when he didn't know how to respond.

If you're quick enough, you can catch him right before he goes home...

——————————————————

Where are you? Those thoughts rang in Leo's mind as he polishes the wood of the offering table. There hasn't been a single day where you haven't visited him. And if you did, you texted or told him the day before. So what happened now? Were you sick? Hurt? His anxiety claws at him, shredding his heart.

He wanted to cry, he wanted to scream, he wanted to stab his heart. Why was he feeling like this? He shouldn't think such thoughts for a friend! Especially one who obviously has no interest in him. They would never have an interest in such a boring shrine maiden like him.

He needs to swallow his feelings and let them rest in his icy heart. It should never come out ever again. His love and admiration shall be buried in a pit of darkness. He's fine with standing there, watching from afar, knowing he'll never be able to kiss them good morning or good night. He'll never be able to tell all those romance jokes he's thought of since he was a child.

As the sun slowly sets, his fears grow more vigorous, encompassing his entire being. He's already ready to go home, deciding he shouldn't wait for someone who won't show up. Hopefully, by the next time he works, they'll be there, waiting for him; with a bright smile and arms wide open. He takes his small bag and walks down the steps, heading for his house not too far away from the shrine.

He then hears a thunder of footsteps, approaching his direction. Someone was coming. And before he can react it's his beloved, holding a box of some sort. He freezes, eyes wide; he can't believe it, they appeared right as he was about to leave. Why were they so desperate to see him? Was something wrong? He moves to them, a worried stare tracing over their features.

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be home by now?" Leo cocks his head to the side slightly, confused why they would be here so late. They smile, gripping the box that rests in their hands. "Do you know what day it is?" Leo crosses his arms and bluntly answers, "Tuesday." They proceed to ask another question, "What's the date?" The turtle frowns slightly and raises an eyebrow muscle, "February 14." Their smile grows into a grin, their teeth gleaming in the moonlight. "What happens on February 14?" He pauses to think, not knowing what could be special today; it's not a birthday, nor a political holiday either.

Then it hit him. It's Valentine's Day.

"No...You possibly couldn't be-" He's cut off by them, "I am. Leonardo Hamato, I am asking you out." There's an odd boldness radiating from them as they've prepared for ages for this. Leo can't help but blush, his eyes darting around, not knowing how to respond. "I- uh, well um, I don't think..." He pauses, turning his head away. "I don't think you should be asking a boring shrine maiden out; especially for Valentine's Day."

A moment of silence stabs the conversation, an awkward tension. Leo's face is taken into someone's hand and turned to face them once more. "Boring? You think you're boring? Weird, because I see you as one of the funniest people I've met, with stories sad enough to make a serial killer cry." Their smile instantly turns into a worried expression. Is there something wrong? Oh, wait...

He's crying.

The feeling feels unfamiliar but pleasing. Being adored is a feeling he never wishes to fade away. He wants to stay with them forever, so his loneliness from years of isolation can drip down into an abyss he shall never see.

"If you don't think I'm so boring, then I guess I'll accept your offer." The curve of his mouth peaks upwards, copying the action they committed earlier. Within seconds he's hugged, gentle but firm arms wrapped around his sides. "You know, you're really cute when you're flustered. Did you know that?" The sudden comment forces Leo to splutter completely off guard. "WHA- Excuse me?" They laugh, releasing their hold off of them.

"You heard me. Now meet me here at noon tomorrow." As soon as they finish their statement, lips brush across their cheek, soft and a slight chill to it. The peck was quick to come and quick to leave; not enough time for them to react.

They turn around to find Leo running down the steps, clearly too flustered with the situation to continue for the day: how adorable. He was so bitter at their meeting, but look at him now; too shy to do anything but run away with a multitude of shades of blush coating his face. Looks like he had a change of mind over the past year.

Their boring shrine maiden: who held a past so grim, yet maintained a brightness locked away to only those who were worthy. Those who visited him every day, those who were willing to put in the effort of getting to know him. They were ecstatic, knowing that Leo has similar thoughts: love and admiration one cannot possibly fathom with words.

Like the day of their first meeting, if you tie your bad fortune upon the rack, it will become an excellent fortune.

Wait a second, they never got to give the box of sweets.

It's Fine Press Friday!

For this fine-press end of the week we present an artists-book rendition of Edna St. Vincent Millay's 1921 poem Low Tide by our very own Melissa Wagner-Lawler. Melissa is an Associate Lecturer in the UW-Milwaukee Department of Art & Design where she teaches 2D Concepts, Printmaking, and the Book Arts.

Low Tide was produced in Milwaukee in 2022 in an signed edition of ten copies. The type is Charter Roman and Italic and the pages were printed letterpress using photopolymer plates on Rives BFK heavyweight and lokta papers. The triangular book is bound using a wire-edge method invented by Massachusetts binder and structuralist Daniel Kelm. This type of binding allows for maximum flexibility where each page may be turned in opposite directions and allows the entire book to be opened and laid flat.

The first half of the poem is printed twice on both sides. On the exterior side, the poem is easily read, with each line or stanza flowing across the shoreline. On the interior side, the tide has receded and has washed the poem away. This half of the poem reads:

These wet rocks where the tide has been,    Barnacled white and weeded brown And slimed beneath to a beautiful green,    These wet rocks where the tide went down Will show again when the tide is high    Faint and perilous, far from shore, No place to dream, but a place to die,—    The bottom of the sea once more.

The book rests in a triangular cavity that is inset into a tray housed in a custom box. Removing the tray reveals an hexagonal trough where the book may placed as an hexagonal pyramid. Inside the trough is the remainder of the poem, which reads:

There was a child that wandered through    A giant's empty house all day,— House full of wonderful things and new,    But no fit place for a child to play.

About three weeks late I now have Doyoky Gamecube joycons and can compare them directly against the NYXI Wizard! I've also disassembled them to attempt to modify them and failed, and can complain about its internals.

Doyoky Retro uses rubber membrane connections on ALL game buttons except for the paddles and context buttons; +, -, Home, Capture, macro/paddle assign, and L4/R4 paddles are the only buttons that use micro-switches. Improvement over NYXI Wizard which uses micro-switches on the d-pad and shoulder buttons.

Macro and Paddle Assign buttons are the only buttons on the entire controller that rattle when shaken.

Doyoky Retro has that kind of cheap-feeling lightness to it that third-party controllers usually do. It doesn't have the weight of traditional rumble motors, so it doesn't feel as premium as NYXI Wizard does.

All the face buttons and sticks feel almost spot-on compared to a Gamecube OEM! Insane upgrade from NYXI Wizard which feels more like a third-party controller.

The joycon rail piece attached to it out of the box is also a USB-C charging station for joycons and works with pretty much anything that can be put on a joycon rail!

Like the NYXI Wizard, the stick caps are again completely custom. This time, sadly, they're pretty purpose-built for the Doyoky Retro, and OEM Gamecube stick caps (as well as the Gamecube-themed Retroflag drop-in controller) do not fit the Doyoky Retro without severe modification. I'm still working on some way of mounting an OEM's C-stick nub to one of the replacement caps.

The Doyoky Retro has replacement caps! The stick caps' actual thumbsticks are mounted on a hexagonal friction-fit bracket and can be removed. You get a gray C-stick style nub, replacements for both to feel more like a Dualshock 4 or Dualsense controllers' sticks, or a ringed rubber C-stick like the analog.

The interior of the Doyoky Retro is pretty convoluted and stupid on a couple of its controls. A plunger on a spring is mounted to the PCB in a well to hit the micro-switch that controls the paddles, and the plunger itself hits a long post attached to the paddle button. This also makes it a total bitch to close the controller back up without anything falling out.

The joycon rail is custom, and none of its functions are actually on the rail itself, they're on micro-switches on the PCB. This includes the SL and SR buttons. The only piece of electronics on the rail itself is the charge/hard connection rail to a Switch or other charger, and the Bluetooth antenna.

The battery is a small (~1 inch long and wide?) pouch battery that is only held in place by the friction of a foam cushion glued to it, and resting on the interior of the controller and occupying some of the space in the handles. Like the paddle mechanisms, this also has a bad tendency to just flop around and fall out; they should have used double-sided tape to secure it inside the well it occupies on the plastic mold.

Doyoky Retro uses a little button motor for vibration instead of fuller sized motors as in a typical controller. Downgrade from NYXI Wizard.

The controller only tries to connect to Switch when pressing Home on the right joycon and Capture on the left. This is really annoying when every other controller on the market, even other third-parties, will try to connect on any button press!

In summation these are worth the money if you want a Gamecube controller, especially one with accurate buttons and sticks. I think, though, that the perfect Gamecube joycon lies somewhere between here and the NYXI Wizard. Either the Doyoky one needs to be heavier and needs more OEM-accurate sticks (the C-stick nub likely doesn't have a C embossed because they're using the same mold for the optional left-stick nub), or the NYXI Wizard needs to drop the button backlight in favor of OEM-style buttons and adopt the rubber membrane button improvements. The Wizard has better paddles, weight and rumble, the Retro has better buttons, bundle-ins, and d-pad. I can't really recommend one over the other, since in direct comparison both have their caveats that make the other more desirable. Maybe a third company will try their hand at a Gamecube joycon, or one of the two will make improvements?

Additionally, Doyoky made me wait an extra three weeks on my order because they ran into quality-control problems that required an entire batch be taken back to the factory. The order almost made it to fulfillment, and was hurriedly taken back; it required asking customer-support what was going on to actually get any reason on why my order stopped moving, and even then they weren't entirely sure why themselves until some days after I first sent an email. The whole while, it was still listed as an in-stock product. Not a good move.

Okay look, I'm a a dice goblin. I admit it. I've got about 20 dice sets and counting with my normal setup being all the d20s and some favourite complete sets being in a hexagonal box that doubles with a padded dice tray lid and the rest in a cotton dice bag that holds everything else.

The thing is, I've fantasised once or twice about upgrading my setup but the options either don't come to the right scale, stop being portable, leave everything a disorganised mess in a bag or hide away so many of the beautiful dice it doesn't seem worth it.

In an ideal world I figure I'd have a custom drawer setup with the d20s of each set able to be set into the display of each tray. Theres a dice compendium that holds up to 25 sets that fits the bill sold on etsy but I'm thinking big scale here. Like, if I was rich enough to own and rennovate my own home, fuck having a room with wall to wall bookshelves - give me a room with wall to wall DICE DISPLAY. STORAGE.

The one idea that really interests me at the moment though as more feasible portable option is wooden cantilever sewing boxes. If I need to do some calcs on the area needed to store a full st of dice so I could mark up some rudimentary dividers but I like the image of everything in a neat box but when I open it each set is there on display to pluck from without any rumaging.

⁠6 ways to use Honeycomb Paper to Ship your products

In industries where packaging materials are often discarded after a single use, honeycomb paper stands out for its potential reusability. Consider integrating honeycomb paper dunnage systems that can be easily repositioned and reused across multiple shipments. Its flexibility and durability allow for extended service life, minimizing waste generation and supporting sustainable packaging practices.

5. Branding and Customer Experience

Beyond its practical benefits, honeycomb paper offers opportunities for enhancing brand perception and customer experience. Customizable printing options enable you to incorporate brand logos, product information, or promotional messages directly onto packaging inserts or outer boxes. This not only reinforces brand identity but also communicates a commitment to sustainability, appealing to eco-conscious consumers who prioritize environmentally friendly packaging solutions.

Types of honeycomb paper

Honeycomb paper is a versatile and eco-friendly material used in various packaging applications due to its unique structural properties. Here are some common types of honeycomb paper based on their configurations and applications:

1. Standard Honeycomb Paper Panels

Standard honeycomb paper panels consist of layers of kraft paper that are glued together in a hexagonal cell structure. These panels are lightweight yet strong, providing excellent cushioning and shock absorption properties. They are commonly used for packaging fragile items such as glassware, ceramics, and electronics.

2. Expanded Honeycomb Paper

Expanded honeycomb paper involves a process where the honeycomb structure is stretched and expanded, creating larger cells. This type of honeycomb paper offers enhanced strength and rigidity, making it suitable for applications requiring heavy-duty packaging solutions. It is often used in industrial packaging, furniture manufacturing, and construction industries.

3. Edge Protectors

Honeycomb paper can be shaped into edge protectors or corner guards, which are used to reinforce the edges and corners of packaging boxes. Edge protectors prevent damage caused by stacking, handling, and transportation, ensuring the integrity of packaged goods during transit.

4. Die-cut inserts and Partitions

Die-cut honeycomb paper inserts and partitions are custom-designed to fit specific product dimensions and configurations. They serve as internal dividers within packaging boxes, providing individual compartments for different items. These inserts offer excellent protection against movement and impact during shipping.

Honeycomb Hues: Why Paper Honeycomb Boards Are Buzzing in the Packaging World

Ever wondered how delicate electronics or furniture get shipped safely? The secret might lie in the humble honeycomb. Yes, you read that right! Paper honeycomb boards are revolutionizing the packaging industry with their unique properties and eco-friendly credentials.

But what exactly are paper honeycomb boards?

Imagine a sheet of cardboard filled with a hexagonal web, similar to a beehive. That's the basic structure of a paper honeycomb board. The core is made from recycled paper, bonded together to create a strong, lightweight structure. This is then sandwiched between two flat sheets of cardboard or other facing materials, resulting in a remarkably sturdy and versatile board.

So, why is everyone buzzing about paper honeycomb boards?

Lightweight Champions: Paper honeycomb boards are significantly lighter than traditional solid wood or plywood panels. This translates to lower shipping costs and reduced environmental impact during transportation.

Strength Doesn't Weigh You Down: Don't be fooled by the light weight. The honeycomb core provides exceptional strength and rigidity, offering superior protection against crushing, impact, and vibration.

Eco-Friendly Alternative: Unlike plastic packaging materials like thermocol, paper honeycomb boards are made from recycled paper and are fully recyclable themselves. This makes them a sustainable choice for businesses that want to minimize their environmental footprint.

The Green Chameleon: Paper honeycomb boards can be customized with different facing materials and core densities to suit various applications. They can be moisture-resistant, fire-retardant, or even decorative, depending on your needs.

Beyond Packaging: The applications of paper honeycomb boards extend far beyond just boxes. They can be used for furniture components, display stands, partitions, doors, and even lightweight building materials.

Looking to incorporate paper honeycomb boards into your business?

The benefits are clear, but navigating the world of packaging solutions can be tricky. That's where companies like Logipack can help! We offer expert advice on:

Selecting the right paper honeycomb board for your specific needs.

Designing custom packaging solutions that optimize protection and efficiency.

Integrating paper honeycomb boards seamlessly into your production process.

By switching to paper honeycomb boards, you're not just choosing a better packaging material, you're choosing a more sustainable future. So, ditch the old ways and embrace the honeycomb revolution!

An end of book essay

Woodent retirement

Laurent ends his shift, he goes and selects a good piece of wood. Someone walks past and grins at him. He pays for the wood like a regular customer, only with a 20% discount, and goes home.

Laurent is watering the vegetable plants his work sells, he goes to lunch. On his phone is a picture of  a triangular hexagonal roofed sun room, modest in size. Someone grins over his shoulder “is that what you’ve  been building then, i expect you’d have an army of them by now, all that wood you take home.”

Laurent is finishing his shift, he goes and selects a piece of wood and gets his 20% discount.

Laurent is organising the brass letter boxes. “you’ll be retiring on Friday then, Laurent! Are you going to show us all what you’ve been building then?” Laurent nods back, yes.

Friday comes around, they all wish Laurent well in retirement, he nods thank you back, finishes his shift, goes and selects a piece of wood, then goes to pay for it. “is it not finished yet?” “it will be by tonight.” Laurent answers.

It is a summer night, still sunny and bright. Laurents ex-coworkers straggle toward his modest council home. There is a triangular hexagonal roofed sun room in the front garden, they all stand watching it. “erm" “this can’t be it" “no". The door opens and they all pile inside, of the house.

The house looks normal, they all pile through the house and out the back into a wooden fenced back garden. It has a discreet door centrally along the back fencing. They all look up at a forest towering behind the fence. Laurents wife says “he won that land in a card game.” “and he’s been planting trees ever since.” She added. They all pile through the discreet back gate and into the forest. A low suns light disperses through the trees in everyones eye line. Like they are walking toward a golden experience.

A glittering abstract dome of golden untreated wood awaits them at the centre of the forest. It is an open air theatre. In the distance, above the tree line, is an aged wooden tower, with a small tumbledown roof.  They all sit down.

Some local dramatic people put on a play. Jack and the Beanstalk. Still no sign of Laurent. At the height of the play Laurent appears at the top of the tower pirouetting around the towers fairy tale roof. “ON STILTS” they all GASP. His skin is painted green and he is wearing a green wig and green tunic, he has fake padded muscles, in green. He descends the towers makeshift steps, he scrambles down at high speed, they all GASP "IN STILTS". He disappears below the treetops. Silence.

Mike Basil, the renowned freelance content creation tools developer, has created Shape Fitting for sketchup. This sketchup extension only supports sketchup 2016.

Shape Fitting plugin sets a Quadrilateral (Quad) polygon to the assigned input polygon. This sketchup plugin is developed on the basis of Park Generator, another useful sketchup plugin that assumes a quad as an input region once the Grid rule is enforced. At present, a quad is produced with one only method that calculates the Oriented Bounding Box (OBB) or Minimal Rectangle. The method is dependent on GTE library.

The source code of the plugin can be found at GitHub!

Method of application:

1. Generate different types of polygons like circles, hexagons or custom-drawn. 2. Choose faces of the polygons.

3. In the menu opt for Shape Fitting. 4. The Fitting Quads (presently OBB only) will be included for each of the selected shapes.
