Production Technology

3-ink offset printing on graphic cardboard. A black ink with two Pantone that blend into a gradient (different in each model). Silver stamping (essential and intensive) and gold stamping for treatment. Varnish soft touch on white areas to emphasize softness Iriodin varnish in colored areas. It shines with a pearly dot and touches of glitter that make gradients stronger and more nuanced. The interior is printed in 2 inks (the same two Pantone as on the face).

Design Challenge

The biggest challenge was to design a new packaging for a frenetic sector, cosmetics, in which new designs come onto the market almost daily. This fact marked us from the beginning. The goal was to innovate and create an attractive design, but at the same time fulfilling the mission of the project. What was the hardest part of this design activity. Maintain the visual characteristics that the whole marketing team wanted to offer to this new cosmetic line, but with a tight printing budget.

Research

In the pre-sale activation this year, this new brand has successfully captured the attention of various international distributors who want to place it on the market.

Inspiration

The range of colors was chosen to evoke the consumer in a healthier environment. The idea was that when the consumer saw the Hoot product, for example, an explosion of vitamins came to his or her mind. It was decided to make gradients by adding iriodin varnish to give movement to the packaging. Also, the team wanted to give a special importance to the user’s experience. That’s why they mixed the soft touch varnish, which has a soft touch, with the contrast of iriodin which has small glitter particles. The packaging contains a pre-cut that allows the consumer to see the inside without opening it completely.

Project Duration

The project started in July 2019 in Barcelona and finished in August 2020 in Barcelona, and it will be exhibited in sales platforms in November 2020.
