About Ings Skincare Brand

Ings is a packaging design created for a range of skincare products. The design uses a bullet shape as a metaphor for reaching the deeper layers of the skin. Architectural techniques create a multidimensional presentation that expresses the professional technology of the brand. The original logo was simplified so that key brand elements stay clear across many product types. Plastic-free zippered courier boxes replace adhesive glue, FSC-certified honeycomb paper provides shock absorption, and soy ink supports degradation.

Production Technology: In terms of materials, we have adopted plastic-free logistics boxes and eliminated the use of adhesive glues. Instead, we use zippered courier boxes. For shock absorption, we use FSC-certified honeycomb paper. The product packaging employs soy ink, which aids in degradation.
Design Challenge: With a large number of SKUs, it's important to address the issue of varied and chaotic color styles. While designing the products, it is crucial to adhere to the parameters set by national skincare standards and make efforts to utilize environmentally friendly materials that comply with those standards. This ensures that we uphold our commitment to prioritizing sustainable development to the fullest extent possible.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2021 in Shanghai and finished in December 2022 in Shanghai.
Operation Flow: The team conducted research and experienced the entire range of INGS products, actively participating in discussions on ingredients, formulations, and the entire production process. The team's experience with the products and the brand's professionalism exceeded their expectations. In the initial stage, the brand's key elements were extracted and simplified, creating a visually appealing presentation that precisely aligns with the brand's core technology.
Research: After studying other skincare brands in the same category, we discovered that many of them tend to focus more on visual appeal and market trends. However, our emphasis lies in presenting the essence of professional technology. Drawing inspiration from our core technology, we have visually highlighted the research and development of our brand's maximum core value. The bullet-shaped design symbolizes direct penetration to the skin's depths, conveying a pictorial metaphor.
Inspiration: The team approached the design from a perspective of professional technology, incorporating the metaphor of a bullet directly reaching the skin's depths. By combining architectural techniques, they created a multidimensional presentation that effectively expresses the professionalism of the brand's exclusive new technologies. The original logo was overly complex and had limited communicative power.
