The Design

About Dashi Egg Sand Lebensmittelverpackung

Dashi Egg Sand ist eine Take-away-Verpackung für ein japanisches Omelett-Sandwich. Das Einwickelpapier ist mit einer Illustration des Sandwich-Querschnitts bedruckt, die durch einen bewusst grob gehaltenen Eindruck Weichheit und eine handgemachte Anmutung vermittelt. Die Druckfarben stehen für Ei, Sauce und das Meeresblau des Ladens. Die Schachtel besteht aus ungebleichtem Kraftpapier mit wasser- und fettabweisender Behandlung, ganz ohne Kunststoff oder Folie. Wird das Einwickelpapier geöffnet, verwandelt sich die Verpackung in ein Stück Geschirr, das die Speise präsentiert. Ziel ist es, das gesamte Esserlebnis zu bereichern.

Production Technology: The ink is an original mix, expressing the color of eggs, secret sauce, and ocean blue, the color for the client's store. The box is made of unbleached kraft paper with water and oil resistant processing that doesn't use plastic or film materials, aiming to reduce its environmental impact. The package includes many items such as wrapping paper, message cards, lids, the boxes themselves, and two stickers, but the selection and processing of materials have resulted in an amazing cost performance.
Design Challenge: The necessary elements for an aesthetic culinary experience can also be thought of in takeout food. From the moment one looks at the package, they can image an impression, texture, tenderness, and taste of the dish. They're conscious of designs that improve the value of the dish and gives them a sense of excitement. In popular cooking packages, the pursuit of cost performance was also an important research factor.
Research: All sorts of takeaway food containers from the market were surveyed. He took the container and had dining experiences with them. He realized then that the main function of the takeout package was putting the product inside and taking it home; the function of experiencing an impression of the food was omitted. The taste of a dish can change depending on the plate. As COVID-19 has increased takeout consumption, he felt the need for a package that would ensure meals weren't simply consumed.
Inspiration: This design was born from the idea of how to express the goodness of the contents in the package. The wrapping paper has the illustration of a Sandwich's cross-section. The illustration expresses softness, the ready-made and handmade feel of the Sandwich, venturing to leave an impression of roughness. In addition, the gentle wrapping paper is also linked to the process of cooking the Japanese Omelette. The consumer can then imagine the contents and the chef from the package.
Project Duration: This project started in June 2020 in Iyo Saijo City, Ehime Prefecture, Japan, and ended in December 2020. Package production began in December 2020 and ended in January 2021. The product has been on sale since February 2021.
Operation Flow: Designed to facilitate cooking and communication. When the wrapping paper, which gives the impression of softly enveloping the dish, is opened, a first look reveals the contrast between the bright blue claire printed on the back and the dark brown of the box. Its form brings parties and picnics to mind. It has been thought up with improving the act in mind of having a special and enjoyable meal, rather than reluctantly filling the hunger.
