Huppy's Challenges
Turning Sustainability into Reality
While HuppyтАЩs vision was clear, the technical execution demanded deep innovation. Key hurdles included material unfamiliarity, production tolerances, and balancing cost, speed, and sustainability without compromise.
Required to replace standard aluminum foil without losing protective function.
Early prototypes experienced delamination, bubbles, and poor adhesion.
The stretching process altered surface finishes, especially on tall containers.
Any design changes post-approval would cause major launch delays.
Interim use of tinplate needed to preserve brand integrity.
INNORHINOтАЩs Strategies
Engineering for Integrity, Guided by Purpose
INNORHINO approached the project with a balance of technical depth and brand empathy. Every solution was custom-built with sustainability and performance at its core.
Triple-layer design combining compostability with high barrier properties. Iteratively prototyped pouch materials to optimize seal strength and stability
┬аSystematic testing eliminated bubbling and delamination.
Visually aligned with HuppyтАЩs minimal and premium aesthetic.
Ensured color fidelity across curved and tall tin forms.
┬аUsed SPA UV finishing on select SKUs to create subtle reflectivity and premium tactility.
Prevented rushed decisions and supported quality assurance.
Execution and Results
Huppy successfully launched in North America with INNORHINOтАЩs packaging across both pouch and tin formats
Packaging aligns with the brandтАЩs sustainability mission without compromising performance or aesthetics.
Supply chain risks were mitigated through clear communication and proactive development planning.
INNORHINO is now a key long-term partner in HuppyтАЩs packaging innovation roadmap.
