1. Use the size/dimensions as specified in the box template files. When folded, the front of the box is 2.75 inches by 3.75 inches.
2. In addition to the artwork and copy, the bottom flap should have a bar code (use a placeholder box if you wish).
3. The box should have a place for a description of the product and an ingredients list (use placeholder text unless you want to make up some copy).
4. The phrase "Feed Your Skin" and/or "Your Skin Will Eat It Up" should appear somewhere on the box. These are tag lines the company wishes to retain for all their products. Incorporate either one or both in whatever manner you wish ("Feed Your Skin currently appears on the front of the hang tag and on the back of the box).
5. Use the Saphon logo at least twice on the box (the green oval with the word "Saphon" is used in the samples. Anything similar is fine for the makeover project.
6. The product name is "Carrot & Orange Beauty Bar."
7. You may place text or images as you see fit on the front, back, side, top, and bottom panels. You may also place text and images as you see fit on the front and back of the box header -- note that it has a diecut hole for hanging the box.
