Special printing and processingValue-added products increased by
In addition to regular printing, special processing can be applied to add value to packages and stickers.
Foil stamping and embossing can express a special feeling due to the high-class image of the foil and the three-dimensional unevenness of the processed area. In addition to standard gold and silver foil, special colors and hologram foil are also available. Sizing foil processing can also be used to reproduce a more three-dimensional foil stamping.
The pseudo-embossing process uses two varnishes, one for clear areas and the other for rough areas. Pseudo-embossing reproduces unevenness. As a processing method with a three-dimensional effect, we also support silk screen printing of stickers, which expresses a three-dimensional surface by applying a thick layer of ink.

We will propose the most suitable processing for our customers, taking into consideration the suitability or unsuitability of processing depending on the paper quality and design.

Visual onlyinstead of
also appeal to the sense of touchPackage.Pseudo-embossing is a special printing and processing that appeals to the sense of touch rather than sight. It is available for both clear and rough surfaces, and can express a pleasant texture when touched.
Three types of textures can be expressed in silk screen printing: "clear," "matte," and "riot tone. Clear" is effective when used on transparent areas. It is recommended for products that require a sizzling effect, as only the processed part is clear and three-dimensional effect can be expressed. Matte" is characterized by its moist feel and can express a moist and soft texture. Riotone" can express rough products, and is suitable for products with the texture of sand on the beach or the grain of wood on a barrel, for example.

Q
What is the difference between pseudo-embossing and riotone processing?
Pseudo-embossing is a process that uses the repelling properties of two varnishes, UV OP varnish and UV clear varnish, to create a pseudo-embossing-like unevenness. The Riotone process is a printing method that uses a colorless, transparent ink specially designed for Riotone printing, which hardens under ultraviolet light, on the surface of ordinary printed materials. Both have a rough texture, but Riotone has a rougher texture. Riotone processing is not available for packages.
Q
Is silk printing possible on packages?
Silk printing is limited to stickers. If you want to express the thickness like silk printing on a package, we recommend the pseudo-silk printing process shown in the URL below.

Product pamphlet / Kowa Sangyo Co.
In conjunction with the renewal of the corporate website, we were asked to create a product catalog that would also serve as a company brochure that could be used as a sales tool.
Rather than simply listing products, the client wanted to focus on the layout with product images as the main focus, and also wanted to include cooking recipes.
In order to create a simple design structure with photographs as the main focus, we not only posted product package images, but also had our own photographer take sizzling, realistic photos of cooking examples in our in-house studio.
The paper used is satin Kintoki with a matte texture.
The brochure was finished exactly as requested because of the material's ability to beautifully render photographs.

Hokkai Tako Senbei (octopus cracker) bag / Sugi Seika Co.
This is a mainstay product that is set to be sold at major convenience stores.
The product had been sold for a long time, but the client wanted to revamp the design to match the times and express the quality of the product.
close
Shochu "Yumeso Tensei" label / by Hikari Shuzo
The client wanted a design using a luxurious blue color, so we first selected a base paper with high reproducibility of blue.
The colors were also carefully matched to the image through a series of prototypes in either special colors or colors.
In the final version, the original paper is white, and the background color cream is represented by printing.
The color did not sink in, and we were able to express the customer's image.
close
Sake "9" label / Yamaguchi Shuzo Brewery
“We were asked to propose labels for three new sake products that use ”No. 9 yeast" in different proportions of rice polishing: Junmai Ginjo 60, Junmai Ginjo 50, and Junmai Ginjo 35.
With an eye toward overseas exports, the design was designed with a symbolic symbolism in mind, using the number "9" as a motif.
While evoking a distinctly Japanese culture, such as ink painting, it also expresses the primary color scheme favored overseas and the novelty of abstract painting.
Silver glossy namer is used for the base paper to create a metallic look.
We appreciate the unique design.
close
Label for coffee bag / Kotobukiya Coffee Beverage Co.
We proposed and received a design proposal for our flagship product, Kotobukiya A-Blend Coffee, which is made from carefully selected raw beans and carefully baked to perfection.
We designed and created a symbol that evokes the "Kotobuki" of Kotobukiya with coffee, and used special gold and silver shiny foil paper to express the elegance and luxury of the company's signature coffee blends.
close
Nagasaki Castella White" package / Susakiya
The overall color of the kastela is white to express a sense of luxury, as it is made of hand-baked, white dough made from the best materials available.
The "white" character, the pillar of the design, was written in large brush strokes by an in-house calligrapher, and the gold foil portion was embossed.
As differentiating elements, the FSC certification mark for forest conservation and the "CO2 Zero Printing" mark, which indicates that the product was manufactured in an environmentally friendly factory, are also displayed.
We were particular about the paper quality, and after trying several base papers, we finally adopted "Fritter 90k + back white coated ball 310g" which has a soft, cotton-like texture.
By creating a simple yet striking design with a luxurious feel, we were able to make the product stand out on the sales floor.
Later, I was also in charge of designing and producing sales promotion tools and creating a sales floor that matched the product image.

Sweet Potato Shochu "Hamako 10-year storage" label / Fukiage Shochu Co.
At the time of the request, we had not yet decided on the name of the product other than to use the "Hamakomachi" variety of sweet potato, but we wanted a design that did not look like a conventional product, targeting a younger demographic.
Marushin proposed a simple but eye-catching design on the sales floor, along with the product name "Hamako," which is easy to call and remember.
For the base paper, an art paper type that can be machine laminated was selected.
By partially applying gold foil, the label expresses added value while keeping costs down.
close
Sake "Taki Series" label / Narutaki Shuzo
The company wanted a label design with a refreshing image of clean water flowing from a waterfall to accompany the launch of a new "Taki" brand as a limited distribution product.
The design features the word "waterfall" written by an in-house calligrapher at the center of the design, with a silver-pica base that adds texture and sparkle to create an overall fresh image.
The design was highly evaluated and adopted.

Landing page (LP) for "Karada Yokokobu Seaweed Plus"/Sugi Seika Co.
Since we were in charge of the product's package design, we were asked to create an LP to convey the product's appeal.
Elements of the package design were incorporated directly into the LP design, and the design was linked so that the product and product page would have a unified feel.
In addition, the structure was based not only on design but also on consumer psychology.
Because the appeal points of the product were clear, the LP was able to fully convey the appeal of the product to the target audience.

Mail order site / Mr. Fujichiku
We produced a mail order website "Horse Sashimi and Kuroge Wagyu Beef Specialty Store" for Fujichiku, which produces horse sashimi in Kumamoto.
The company had opened a store in an online mall such as Rakuten Ichiba, but when launching a new in-house shopping site, they wanted a shopping site that would differentiate them from their competitors.
Therefore, we proposed to create a new brand image by creating a Western-style worldview reminiscent of a European bar, thereby removing the Japanese image of horse sashimi.
In response to this, we not only built the mail-order website, but also designed the brand logo to be used and had our exclusive photographer shoot the images to be used on the site.
In addition, the company adopted our proposal to enhance the total product value by consistently producing labels and stickers, gift boxes, handbags, and pamphlets to match the design of the mail-order website.
close
Mail order site / Marumatsu Sangyo Co.
We created a mail order website for Marmatu Sangyo, a comprehensive meat manufacturer located in Katsuragawa-cho, Fukuoka Prefecture.
The company mainly manufactures products for food supermarkets, but due to many requests from the general public to purchase products directly from the company, the client requested the launch of a B-to-C mail-order website.
We proposed a design for the character “Marumatsu-kun” to match the company's "stamina food" image, based on the theme of a friendly mail-order website.
The fun is expressed through the leading lines and illustrations introduced by characters at various points on the site.
The company liked the design of "Marumatsu-kun" so much that it became an official character, and the character is now attached to products and other items.

Mail order site／Rakunoh Farm Takeshita
The "Official Online Shop" of Raku-Noh Farm Takeshita, a strawberry farmer in Okawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture, has been renewed.
At the time of the request, the start of strawberry reservations was just around the corner and renewal was required as quickly as possible.
Therefore, we first created a product LP of "Fully Ripe Amaou" to strengthen sales of our mainstay products. As a result, bookings increased three times compared to last year.
The site has since become a year-round sales site with increased appeal on the product pages for processed products.
Photography was also conducted both onsite and in the studio in order to prepare content that conveyed the producer's thoughts and high quality and photographs that matched that expression.
In addition to providing post-production management support for websites, we also create gift product package designs tailored to the target market.
close
Brand Site / Kyushu Yakuhin Kogyo Co.
We created the brand website "Kyushu Green Farm" for Kyushu Yakuhin Kogyo, a manufacturer and seller of green juice.
The website was designed to convey the brand's world view and product appeal, targeting families, as Aojiru has a wide variety of flavors and is easy for the whole family to enjoy, even for small children. We were involved in the comprehensive development of the brand website, from photography to page production, paying particular attention to images that convey a “lifestyle with Aojiru.
In addition to the "Kyuguri Tsushin" article submission function, which is designed to be an information transmission site for consumers, the product list page also leads to a mail order site for product purchases, and so on.
close
Mail order site / Tanaka Seimen Co.
We renewed the mail order site of Tanaka Seimen, a noodle factory in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture.
In order to strengthen the mail-order business, the client requested a review of the existing mail-order site as well, and we designed the pages to emphasize trial sets and seasonal products that would lead to sales promotions, as well as to change the cart system.
We also provided full support to the mail-order staff in charge of mail-order sales, including lectures on how to use the cart system and advice on order-taking and shipping systems, all of which were necessary to strengthen the mail-order business.
close
Corporate site, Mail order site / Hita Soy Sauce
We created a corporate and mail order website for Hita Soy Sauce, a manufacturer and distributor of miso and soy sauce in Hita City, Oita Prefecture.
We wish to redesign the existing mail order site and make it easier for consumers to purchase.
We proposed integrating the separate corporate and mail-order websites, focusing on the three main products and designing the main products to stand out on the TOP page.
We have made it easy for first-time users to understand information about the company and its products, and easy for them to select products.

350th Anniversary Bottle Label / Ohga Sake Brewery
In keeping with the name of the product, we have used gorgeous yet slightly subdued colors to imitate elegant running water, fantastically expressing ”fireflies” dancing in a dream.
The base paper is made of silver foil. Finally, gold foil stamping was applied to give the label a three-dimensional effect, creating a delicate yet luxurious atmosphere.
The label was awarded "Best of the Best," the highest award in the Combination category, in the World Label Contest 2023.
*"Best of the Best" is the world's number one award, presented in five categories for each printing method, among the top prizes selected by the World Label Contest 2023 judging panel held in conjunction with the L9 World Label Contest 2023.

SNS Video Advertisement / Kyushu Oyakayori Honpo
(ROAS 400%: e.g., ¥2 million in sales for ¥500,000 in advertising)
We have consistently performed everything from video production to advertisement management here.
Video advertisements are very effective in directly reaching potential customers who are not yet aware of the appeal of a product, which is difficult to convey through text or still images alone, and arousing their desire to purchase.
It is a powerful solution to acquire new customers and further expand sales in the e-commerce business.
