Armadillo Exceeds Expectations with Babyliss For Men Christmas Gift Set
Posted by Amy Cairns - 03rd January 2012
It was a red white and not so blue Christmas at Argos as Armadillo-designed BaByliss for Men gift
set Groom Britannia exceeded sales expectations and shot off the shelves this season.
Armadillo welcomed the challenge of creating a men's product that would appeal to a female
shopping market and came up with imaginative solutions for collectable gift sets with a fashion
twist for Christmas markets. The Speed Series 25 gift set, created exclusively for Boots, and the
Groom Britannia set for Argos delivered just the right tone as retailers saw sales going above and
beyond expectations. A first for BaByliss for Men packaging: another success for Armadillo.
If only Santa had such good feedback...

Posted by Amy Cairns - 18th November 2011
For absolute control and precision men
choose BaByliss for Men's professional-grade
grooming tools. For a guarantee of unique and
innovative packaging design, BaByliss
chose Armadillo.
The next generation of the BaByliss for Men
grooming products are precision engineered
to put the power and control of achieving
professional grooming results in the hands of
the consumer. The Armadillo-designed
packaging for the i-stubble trimmer and
the Super Clipper have been equally
precision engineered to exhibit this new
technology. With it's sleek angled box and
vacuum formed display window, the
i-stubble's unique design and state of the art
technology is put centre stage in the
intelligent design of our packaging.
Armadillo design is a cut above the rest and
we think our innovative packaging creative
gives a sharp new angle on BaByliss for Men
products. Take a look for yourself...
