Accumulated for many years
Has experience and technology in package design.
32 years of experience, accumulated design know-how.
In the history of more than 30 years, we have accumulated a wealth of experience and technology from planning to production and printing. Up to now, I have encountered various cases and overcome them with customers. In some cases it didn't go as expected, but everything is our property. In addition, since I have experienced design in many fields, I am able to obtain a wide range of knowledge, which is an idea base for thinking about new designs.
Build close relationships with customers.
We deal directly with almost all customers and participate in the product development from an early stage. The design requires delicate expressions, and I feel that it is important to listen to the details of the product directly and think together, so we are building a close relationship in the development process. From now on, we will continue to firmly support our customers as a creator who never forgets the eyes of one consumer.

On various design stages
We will make the best proposal that will lead to a solution.
Having experienced many design stages centered on package design, the accumulation of various design know-how has become a major asset of our company. We attach great importance to flexible correspondence, explore a wide range of solutions, and propose the best design that will solve the problem.
Package design
Based on our marketing concept, we are always pondering what is the best form to delve deep into product characteristics and accurately convey to consumers. We will propose a design that suits the times from all angles. Packaging is the most important design tool for brand building, and we must maintain brand maintenance to enhance and maintain brand power. We will proactively make suggestions in the right place at the right time.
Logo mark design
It is an essential design element for promoting branding together with packaging. Based on the brand concept, we create a completely original logo by transcribing a logo mark with originality rather than an easy design using existing fonts. We will efficiently carry out brand building and provide total design support.
Calligraphic design (calligraphy)
Since it is actually handwritten using ink, it is a completely original design that is unique in the world. Applications such as product logos and poster catches are endless. We make brush letters that match the product and image. You can freely write up to avant-garde characters and regular typefaces. In the field where we are good at, the work has been published in many industry papers and has been well received.
Sales promotion tool design
We support all kinds of media such as posters, pamphlets, POP and newspaper magazine advertisements, including planning and production of promotional materials associated with branding . We are familiar with all kinds of advertisements such as traffic advertisements and event advertisements that have been cultivated over 30 years in general advertisements and JR-related matters. We will also manage the printing.
Web design
We are now involved in Web-related production such as homepages and banner advertisements, which are indispensable for corporate activities. Of course, we also support design development for mobile. We will make detailed proposals such as SEO measures and management methods using SNS.
* In addition to the above, we will do our best to accommodate your requests regarding photography, illustration, package mockup production, copywriting and other design and advertisement production. Please feel free to contact us.
Outline
We will continue to explore the possibilities of package design.
