We would like to introduce a case study of Elena Coffee Roasters using "Minpake." When launching a coffee roaster specializing in online sales, we created the packaging with Minpake. Since it is an online store where customers cannot see the products, we wanted to express our feelings towards our customers and products through the worldview of a girl named Elena and a monkey named Kikki, who deliver coffee with heartfelt sincerity to people around the world. For the character and package design, we received assistance from Mr. Nakamura of Oscar Co., Ltd. After much trial and error between the two of us, we concluded that to express this worldview and achieve a high-quality package, we needed full-color printing rather than the usual plain bags with labels or monochrome printing. We approached several packaging companies, but Minpake was the only one that could meet our three requirements: 1. Capability for double-sided color printing, 2. Minimal restrictions on the printing area, and 3. Cost-effective solutions for small quantities. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

We would like to introduce a case study of how Nishisaka Sangyo Co., Ltd. utilized "Minpake." Originally, they only engaged in BtoB transactions for business use, but they were considering BtoC as a new sales channel. However, the large lots required for gravure printing were not feasible for them, so they decided to use "Minpake," which allows for small lot production of packaging. For the aluminum vapor-deposited stand-up pouches, they aimed to completely change the image from the design of the craft paper, so they focused heavily on the design, incorporating many photos on both the front and back. They were amazed at how beautifully the photos were printed, and the appetizing images made the final product so appealing that they were extremely satisfied and felt compelled to pick it up. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

We would like to introduce a case study of the "Minpake" utilized by Utility. Every year, they create dog-themed T-shirts, and since it is the Year of the Dog, they wanted to make an impact. They thought it would be cute if the T-shirts were packaged in dog food bags, which led them to consider creating a package this time. They found "Minpake" while surfing the internet, thinking they wanted to make a dog food bag. Originally, "Minpake" was intended for bags to hold coffee beans or tea leaves, and since our purpose was different from the start (laughs), we were pleased to find that we could create the package without any issues on the site. As they usually work in design, they were able to perfectly simulate the final product, and there was no gap between the actual completed product and their expectations, leading to their satisfaction. The reputation in the store is also very good, and they are selling only the dog-themed T-shirts from EFFECTEN in this package. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

We would like to introduce a case study of how Splendor Co., Ltd. utilized "Minpake." Previously, they were selling products in plain bags with zippers, using labels for branding. However, they wanted to create products that truly reflected their shop image, so they began searching for new packaging. After comparing a considerable number of suppliers through online searches, they decided to adopt our packaging due to the types of packaging available, pricing, and, most importantly, the large printing area that could reproduce their design image. The packaging turned out just as they envisioned, and they were very satisfied. By reflecting their shop image accurately in the packaging, they have received great feedback from customers. Sales have been strong, so they placed a repeat order this time. From the initial three packaging designs ordered (black, camouflage, camouflage + checkered flag), they narrowed it down to two designs (camouflage, camouflage + checkered flag) that were performing well for the repeat order. They found it convenient to conduct such test orders in small quantities. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

We would like to introduce a case where Tsukemoto Co., Ltd. utilized "Minpake." The reason for using it was that there are no plate costs and they can order original packaging in small lots, which helps reduce the initial costs of material procurement and the risk of excess inventory. Traditionally, small lot packaging was handled with plain bags and label application, but using Minpake eliminated the hassle of applying labels, which was also a motivating factor. Additionally, it was noted that there is a general tendency to avoid products with labels when supplying to mass retailers. By eliminating the need for labels, they believed this issue could be resolved, leading to their adoption of the service. They found the material to be of good quality with high barrier properties, and they felt that the precision and completeness were high. In particular, the material chosen this time (craft paper with aluminum vapor deposition) not only has a luxurious feel due to its craft texture but also conveys an image of nature and eco-friendliness to customers, making it a powerful promotional tool. They were very pleased that they could order in small lots, allowing for trial sales. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*
