Packaging that sells, informs and includes.

The packaging concept captures the essence of the brand and unifies the VBL and its identity, blending Japanese cultural heritage with technology and visual clarity while forging an emotional connection with consumers. Its faces combine into multiple compositions at the point of sale, enabling self-promotion.

It supports social inclusion through simultaneous printing of text and tactile Braille embossing, with high-weight paper and satin and gloss varnish finishes that honor the brand’s quality and tradition.

Goal

Based on the global VBL concept, organize and strengthen presence at the point of sale while reducing the cost of point-of-purchase material.

Unique value proposition

A versatile design allowing multiple compositions at the point of sale and self-promotion, with meticulous detail, high-quality paper and special satin and gloss finishes reflecting the brand’s tradition and product quality.
