The purpose of this diploma thesys was to research the area of eco-packaging design, requirements and recommendations for packaging of cosmetics products. The goal was also to design and manufacture innovative ecologically designed and funcional packaging for natural soaps and shampoons collection, which can be used as a soap stand on the washbasin. Besides the packaging, we also designed and manufactured all the labels for other cosmetics products such as lotions and balms.
Eco-design of packaging, design trends and requirements for natural cosmetics packaging are defined in theoretical part of diploma thesis, followed by printing of packaging material and computer software for packaging design introduction.
Soap and shampoo packaging is made of two different parts: harder base which contains the soap and wrapping made of thinner paper. Base packaging surface is made of higher grammage cardboard and folds into box easily without using any glue. Wrapping is made of lower grammage paper coated on both sides, which is wrapped arround the soap in the box and glued on the end. For graphic image of soap packaging and other cosmetics line products illustrations of herbs, which relate to manufacturer logo and different colours related to main ingidients are used.
Final products of packaging design are larger box for soap, smaller box for shampoo and different sized and shaped labels for different lotions and balms.
