The Original Packaging
The original packaging was a two-piece rigid box (lid and base), which was robust but costly:
Challenges
STIIIZY's substantial order sizes required significant cost savings per unit to achieve a meaningful reduction in the overall budget.
Simplifying the packaging without losing its premium appeal required innovative thinking.
Any changes to the packaging needed to retain STIIIZY's high-quality brand image and not appear as a cost-cutting measure to customers.
The New Design
At INNORHINO, we pride ourselves on delivering packaging solutions that are innovative, cost-effective, and aligned with our clients’ brand values. For STIIIZY, we approached the project with these guiding principles:
Proposal & Solutions
Remove and replace the upper rigid box lid with a paper sleeve.
Add a buffer bump, providing a unique unboxing experience.
Optimize the packaging structure to improve assembly efficiency.
Choose sustainable materials to reflect the brand's eco-friendly values.
Execution & Results
The design maintained its premium appeal through innovation. By replacing the rigid box lid with a paper sleeve, we reduced the packaging cost per unit, achieving a 20% savings.
Introduced a small bump inside the sleeve to prevent the inner box from sliding out, ensuring a secure fit and tactile unboxing experience.
The optimized assembly process not only boosted labor efficiency but also drove reductions in overall costs.
Utilized FSC-certified paper, a recyclable material that strengthens the brand’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
