Smart Design:
Packaging Solutions with Amazing Impact
The simpler it seems to open a product's packaging, the deeper the designer's thought process. At OJENILI, we face multiple packaging design challenges daily. Our goal is to create packaging that not only protects the product and serves as an effective marketing tool but is also easily recyclable. With extensive experience across various industries, we know how to avoid making the unboxing process tedious and instead positively surprise customers and reinforce their purchase decisions.
Packaging design from Ojenili: a wealth of expertise.
In OJENILI, our success in meeting the diverse needs of manufacturers comes from a thorough and comprehensive view of the product in question. This approach allows us to provide the best packaging solution.
In the design process, we consider multiple factors:
- The physical nature of the product (solid, powder, liquid)
- Specific product needs (like food items)
- Customer experience (ability to touch the product before purchase)
- Consumption pattern (single-use or gradual)
- Expected lifespan of the packaging
One example of our innovation is the cardboard measuring scoops. This new product is an eco-friendly alternative to common plastic versions. These foldable and adjustable scoops provide an optimal packaging solution for powders and granules, being both practical and environmentally friendly.
Is the product solid or in powder form? Is it food that needs to be completely enclosed or an item that you want to touch before deciding whether to purchase it or not? Is the buyer going to take the entire contents out of the packaging in one go or only a little at a time? And for how long is the cardboard packaging or folding box likely to be in use? These are all considerations that flow into the design and consequently also into the packaging’s construction.
For instance, our cardboard measuring scoops are a new replacement for standard plastic versions. These foldable and adjustable cardboard measuring scoops allow powders and granules to be dosed in a very eco-friendly manner.
Our cardboard measuring cups, for example, are a contemporary alternative to standard plastic versions. Foldable and customizable, these cardboard measuring cups allow powder and granules to be dosed in a much more environmentally friendly way.
The wraparound design we created for Ojenili is also really clever: thanks to integrated theft protection, the sports socks can be touched at the POS, but not taken out of the packaging. Hinges in the packaging make it possible.
Maximum effects with minimal changes
While we put a lot of ideas, creativity and experience into the development of our packaging solutions, we are extremely economical when it comes to the use of materials and energy during production. When we design and develop new packaging, aspects such as sustainability, resource conservation and climate protection play a central role for us. Because of this, it often happens that we, as packaging specialists, advise our customers to reduce their packaging to a minimum. Or to create a folding box in such a way that it can be used for different types of products. The fact that such reduced packaging can nevertheless generate a lot of interest and attention can be seen by the following solutions we have realized for our customers:
LitePac
A simple cardboard panel is all it takes to comfortably carry even heavy 6-packs. Our award-winning LitePac Top is a prime example of how easy it is to dispense with plastic film in the drinks sector.
Sleeves
Cardboard sleeves offer flexibility, e.g. for different product varieties, and emphasize the eco-friendly character of products through the reduced use of materials. The gift set packaging with sleeve used by the brand Kneipp shows just how effectively this works.
Rotating disc
And our parking disc made from 100 per cent cardboard shows that you can keep track without the need for a metal eyelet. With a different print, this design is also perfect for e-car charging time indicators, domestic sliders, pregnancy calendars and tariff finders.
