Production Technology
The packaging uses scented ink that is tailored to each design, creating environmental excitement and enhancing the olfactory experience. The bottles are produced with eco-friendly, recyclable materials. Advanced printing techniques were used to ensure high-quality graphics that reflect the tropical party atmosphere, while also maintaining durability and consumer appeal.
Design Challenge
The biggest challenge was integrating multisensory elements, while maintaining high production quality and cost efficiency. Another obstacle was ensuring that the design resonated with both the Asian market's cultural concept of "reunion" and the festive tropical theme. Technological limitations in ink production and sustainable material sourcing required innovative solutions, balancing aesthetics with environmental impact.
Research
The objective was to enhance user interaction through multisensory design. The methodology involved market analysis and consumer behavior studies to understand preferences. Data was collected via focus groups and user testing, using tools like surveys and sensory evaluations. Participants were young adults, aged 25-35, in Asia. Results showed a strong preference for cold-activated and scented ink features. Insights indicated that multisensory packaging increases product engagement and aligns well with festive consumer behavior, positively impacting business and design trends.
Inspiration
The design was inspired by the vibrant atmosphere of tropical summer parties and the concept of "reunion" in Asian culture. Our goal was to create an immersive experience, reflecting the energy of different moments throughout the day—morning, twilight, and midnight. Extensive research into scented-ink printing allowed us to blend visual excitement with olfactory elements, enhancing the sensory engagement of each design.
Project Duration
The project started in November 2023 in Shanghai and finished in May 2024, and was officially launched for sale in July 2024.
Operation Flow
The packaging interacts with users in a multisensory way. The scented ink enhances the experience by releasing a unique fragrance, matching the mood of morning, twilight, or midnight. This playful interaction creates a dynamic and engaging experience for users, making every moment feel festive and personal while enhancing the overall enjoyment of the product.
