Kalapooya Fire is a high quality cannabis oil vape pen line from Eugene, Oregon. The story Kalapooya Fire wanted to tell is a nod to the native tribe that used to inhabit southern Oregon. The tribe lived near the Calapooya mountains outside of Eugene. They used fire to sustainably farm their land. The tribe would burn off the top layer of grass allowing them to dig up camas cakes, which were used as currency.

Kalapooya Fire features CO2 cannabis extraction from some of Oregon's finest sustainable cannabis growers. By working with the best growers and the best extraction method, Kalapooya Fire wanted to highlight each farm in a series of collectible vintage matchboxes.

During the design process, we explored how to tell the Kalaopooya Fire all the way through to the packaging. We landed on a child-resistant brown cardboard package with water based ink.

The entire package is easily degradable with little to no toxic materials. We decided the most sustainable way to reuse the vape pen battery and cartridge was to create a reward program. Customers can send their cartridges back in for points that later be awarded in the form of shwag and visits to the farms.

There are 15 farms in the series. We developed unique vintage artwork for each farm in the series with a whimsical play on something each farm felt was important.
