    "Asahi Super Dry" Eco-Friendly Carton

    This is a corrugated box that holds four sets of six-packs of 350 ml beer cans. It was designed with consideration for the environment, store operations, and ease of use for general consumers.
    Compared to conventional cartons, the area of the opening on the short side of the box is 3.8% smaller. The carton is tray-shaped for easy display in store and is structured to be flat so that it does not take up much space when disposed of, aiming to improve efficiency of store operations. In addition, the carton is also designed to ensure that it does not open when consumers carry it, and so that the lid of its opening can be fixed to make it easier to take out cans.

    Cardboard with Stunning Embossed Effects by Bright Press

    A processing technology called "Bright Press" that can create clearly defined embossed surfaces on corrugated board was developed.
    The processing method involves using a wooden die-cut mold to simultaneously punch out and emboss the corrugated board. This reduces the number of steps compared to using separate machines for each process and saves energy in production.
    Combining distinct embossed borders with printing and varnishing enables more impactful expression of design.

    JA Mutsumi Ibaraki Truck Big Art

    When the 28 corrugated boxes are stacked in order, the patterns connect and create a display that looks like a mini truck.
    The freshness of the products shipped directly from the production site, the design that livens up the event, and the overwhelming presence of the display has a great impact on the viewer. It has been well received because it can be assembled by hand without tools and folded and stored after use for repeated use.
