Lancôme, a renowned name in the beauty industry, is known for its luxury products and elegant packaging. When they approached us, they had a clear vision: to create a packaging box that reflected their brand’s sophistication and commitment to sustainability.

Lancôme's Packaging Requirements

Lancôme needed a packaging solution that not only looked stunning but also aligned with their environmental values. They wanted a box that was unique, eye-catching, and environmentally friendly.

Project Scope

Objective of the Packaging Design

The primary goal was to design a dual-opening cosmetic box that stood out on the shelves and conveyed Lancôme’s brand ethos. The packaging needed to be practical, luxurious, and sustainable.

Key Features of the Packaging Box

Design Process

Conceptualization Phase

Our design team brainstormed various ideas, keeping Lancôme’s requirements in mind. We aimed to blend innovation with elegance, creating a design that was both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Design Development Phase

Once the concept was approved, we moved to the development phase, creating detailed sketches and 3D models of the packaging. This phase involved close collaboration with Lancôme to ensure their vision was accurately captured.

Material Selection

Choice of Special Holographic Silver Paper

The choice of material was crucial. We opted for holographic silver paper due to its reflective qualities and ability to catch the eye.

Benefits of Using Holographic Silver Paper

Holographic silver paper adds a premium feel to the packaging, making it stand out. It also enhances the overall visual appeal, making the product more attractive to potential buyers.

Structural Design

Description of the Dual-Opening Structure

The dual-opening design was chosen for its practicality and novelty. It allows users to open the box from two sides, providing a unique unboxing experience.

Advantages of the Dual-Opening Design

This structure not only adds to the user experience but also makes the packaging more secure, protecting the contents better during transport and handling.

Printing Techniques

Introduction to Embossing Techniques

Embossing is a printing technique that creates a raised design on the surface of the paper, adding a tactile and visual dimension to the packaging.

Application of Embossing in the Packaging

For Lancôme’s box, we used embossing to highlight the brand logo and other intricate details, giving the packaging a luxurious feel and making it more appealing to touch.

Environmental Considerations

Importance of FSC Certification

FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification ensures that the materials used are sourced from responsibly managed forests, contributing to environmental conservation.

Environmental Benefits of Using FSC Certified Materials

Using FSC-certified materials helps in reducing the environmental impact, supporting sustainable forestry, and promoting eco-friendly practices in the packaging industry.
