“We knew we wanted a flexible pouch due to its inherent economic benefits as well as the fact that it could serve as a mini makeup case,” says Peter Rizzo, director of MAC’s package development group. “Our challenge was to find a company that could deliver a pouch with both front and back printing that was made from two separate sheets of film. We wanted a sheer gray front and dark gray back that when viewed together would replicate MAC’s signature gunmetal color.”
