Package design systems must balance brand recognition across diverse materials, production methods, and form factors. Current manufacturing processes handle complex geometries with micron-level precision—from laser-etched cellulosic wrappers at 35 microns thickness to digitally printed surfaces requiring precise color calibration for scannable features. These technical parameters directly impact brand consistency and production efficiency.

The core challenge lies in maintaining visual brand cohesion while adapting to the physical constraints of different packaging materials, manufacturing processes, and regulatory requirements.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including seamless 360-degree printed designs for welded containers, adaptive decorative systems for soft packaging, variable luminosity encoding for brand colors, and detachable decorative elements for reusable containers. These and other approaches demonstrate how brands can achieve consistent identity expression across diverse packaging applications while meeting practical manufacturing and sustainability requirements.

1. Cellulosic Wrapper for Aerosol Devices with Laser-Etched Designs

JT INTERNATIONAL SA, JT INT SA, 2024

Aerosol-generating article wrapper with etched designs that provides branding and decoration on aerosol devices like e-cigarettes without the issues of embossing or printing. The wrapper is made of cellulosic material with a thickness of at least 35 microns and tensile strength of at least 25 N/15 mm. The etched designs are created by laser etching, evaporating material to carve lines less than the thickness of the wrapper. This allows detailed, customizable designs without tools or inks that can transfer.
