Elaborated graphic designs refer to traditional Christmas in a retro style, eastern motifs, or a more subtle and abstract visualization.

Partial cold foil stamping with silver foil is used, with food FSP ink printing, which creates various light and color effects even if only CMYK is used. This is followed by UV coating with a food-grade varnish with a matte-glossy hybrid effect.

Multi-level embossing on traditional platen presses, with hand-engraved punches, made it possible to achieve the maximum depth and detail of the embossing. The construction of the packaging with fine cuts creates "legs" that guarantee the stability of the packaging during its presentation. The subsequent operation is the thermographic printing of the text, which has various mutations. The plastic effect of printing, in contrast to hot embossing, appears softer and more balanced.

After gluing and adjusting the packaging, a decorative bow is tied, which clearly places the product in the gift segment.

The "Simple Loading" packaging solution for the transport of baby incubators is designed for simple packaging by the manufacturer, but also for user-friendly and safe unpacking of the product.

This new concept replaces the original inconvenient all-wood packaging with complex screwed parts.

"Simple Loading" makes maximum use of corrugated cardboard with partial protection of sensitive product parts made of technical foam.

Loading the heavy incubator is simple even without handling equipment. A specially designed pallet quickly turns into a ramp on which the product is driven in or off during unpacking.

The lightweight folded corrugated cardboard support ensures easy and secure fixing of the product.

A cost and time saving bonus.

The challenge was to package the new TO20.1 model in such a way that we removed plastic, speed up the heater assembly process and increased product protection. We have therefore developed a robust two-part protection, the lower part of which will move the product through the assembly line and thus facilitate the handling of the fifteen-kilogram heater. The packaging is 100% plastic-free because we eliminated the polythene bag. It provides more than enough protection against denting the thermometer and thus eliminated all complaints.

The sustainable solution brings a 93% reduction in carbon footprint and saved 6.6 tons of CO2 emissions.

For 9 types of heating units, the customer requested a new packaging providing better protection. They were using 4 different boxes and wanted to reduce it. Our solution? Just ONE UNIVERSAL packaging for all 9 product sizes - a telescopic tube that copies the length of the product and prevents it from moving. We replaced the bubble foil used to protect the head of the heating unit with a fixation that ensures sufficient deformation zones. No more tape and bubble wrap, the Packaging is 100% plastic-free and reduces the packaging's carbon footprint by 58% (2.2 tons of CO2).

The universal fixing of glass and glass doors fully replaces the original design of transport packaging. All-purpose design provides wrapping of the entire product line.

Thanks to its light weight, it facilitates handling and helps to reduce transport costs. It is not necessary to use adhesives when wrapping the product. The cardboard sidewalls fix the product, protect its sensitive edges and provide the required stability for safe transport. The special fixing flaps adapt to the size of glass and hold it securely in the required position. The cardboard casing protects glass in the central part and increases protection against side impact.

The original pure design is completed with practical elements for easy handling. One type of material makes complete recycling possible.

The multipack trend has also affected food products. The new multipack for Míša cheesecake desserts brings a family pack to the market, which is not only cost-effective for the end consumer, but also emphasizes sustainability, as it is made of recycled paper that is also 100% recyclable. The hotmelt applied on the bottom part, covered with a silicone strip, facilitates subsequent assembling during the final packaging of the products. The finished carrier can hold up to four cheesecakes, making it easy to handle when purchasing larger quantities. Short messages within the traditional graphics guide consumers to sort waste correctly and thus also has an educational function.

The universal fixing is designed for various types and sizes of wall-mounted of charging devices for electric vehicles and electrical bicycles.

The fixing insert made of a single piece of cardboard provides perfect protection while separating the individual accessory parts. It is not necessary to use adhesives when putting packaging together. The packaging design meets the customer's requirements: maximum product protection, variability of use and low price.

The packaging is made of green, fully recyclable material, thus it fits into the IONT brand philosophy, which emphasizes the highest possible share of the use of circular materials.

Simple but effective design does not increase the price of packaging.

The goal was to find packaging for 360 dimensional variants of alarm clocks without using bubble wrap. Innovation and development resulted in a completely universal and revolutionary insert for e-shops. The size-variable insert has breakthrough locks, which are used to fix different sizes and shapes of products. It has also an integrated adhesive tape, which closes the insert tightly, but above all, it is then glued to the box. And it holds.

With this innovation, we accelerated the packaging process by 77%, eliminated 88% of plastics and reduced CO2 emissions by 21%. In total, the new packaging saved EUR 21,000.
