A great selection of vintage german machtbox design over at Shailesh Chavda.

Most of the labels in this set are from the 1960s and 1970s. The visual style is predominantly inspired by Swiss and German modernist graphic design styles of the period. The aim of this set is to develop a collection on this theme. Looking at the simplicity of design on some of these labels, the style suits the miniature format perfectly.

    Please spell matchbox, not machtbox; the latter meaning “powerbox” since the german word “Macht” means “power”.

    Done. Thanks for the heads up.
