One of the most challenging was developing the materials of packages keeping quality of tea sensitive to moisture, which was difficult but such an interesting experience. Not only making package design simple and sophisticated, but also successfully having called a good attention to target customers under the fact of marketing research by the re-organized product lines.

The Brief

Our client’s demands were; 1.To create a brand new image with a renewal of packages at the 150th anniversary 2.To reduce and organize lines of packages accumulated over the years of doing business 3.To target younger generations 4.To encourage simple wrapping.

How the final design was conceived

Located in the center of very famous ancient Kyoto, Tsujiri has been using traditional and stereotype style of designs following the customs of the industry. As a result of pursuing the pleasure of selecting any combination, led to the cubic. Moreover, keeping not to loose dignified elegance as a well-established company, we brought the essence of “Origami”, Japanese traditional paper folding to the package. It made possible to give a perfect balance between new and old.
