Modo was started in 1998 and is owned
by Henry Lavelle and Tim Bevan.
Henry
Lavelle is the creative director and he started his career
doing all the creative packaging for his brother's label
MOWAX. All releases were special from pop-ups to toys.
Tim
Bevan was the managing director of the Bertelsmann-owned
Sonopress UK Ltd. Sonopress was a mass manufacturer of
CD, DVD and the related printed parts.
This
fusion of mass manufacturing and bespoke packaging has
been combined to provide quality and innovative packaging
that is cost effective and sympathetic to the requirements
of today's retail environment.
Modo
is able to offer a vast range of products already available
in the marketplace but also specialises in designing and
creating new and exciting packaging that enhances the
product at retail.

has a global supplier bases that enables it to be competitive
and source a huge variety of materials and products.

that enables it to offer creative solutions to any brief.
Modo
keeps itself at the cutting edge of creative packaging
and by using a vast number of different suppliers it is
able to proactively service the home entertainment market.
Three
years ago, Modo set out to produce a product that was
environmentally friendly. The resulting Act-Pac uses a
tray made from potato starch to replace the plastic tray
in the digi-style pack.
Modo
can do runs from 100 to 1 million units and is successful
and well skilled at project management. The bringing together
of all the elements for some of the bespoke projects is
a logistical nightmare but something that we pride ourselves
in managing with the utmost efficiency.
