The packaging for LA duo No Age's most recent release, An Object, was produced by the band themselves in collaboration with designer Brian Roettinger. According to a press release:

The band has performed, recorded, produced, and prepared and assembled the entirety of the physical packaging of An Object, including jackets, inserts, and labels, taking on the roll of manufacturer, artist, and musician until the roles trip on themselves and individual parts lose their distinct meanings, demanding to be considered as a whole.

The band even printed shipping boxes and put together custom promo packages with beach balls and stickers – all iconically emblazened with ITC Franklin Gothic set in all caps.

The packaging was included in Pitchfork's top 25 album covers of 2013.
