Sustainable Packaging Design as a Brand Statement

Luxurious Jar Refining and Elegant Outer Packaging for Cosmetic Products

In the cosmetics industry, packaging is a decisive factor in brand perception. Under the motto ‘Design and Sustainability meets Technology,’ KURZ Design Management has developed a packaging concept that combines design aesthetics with material awareness and production efficiency in a luxurious and original way.

Innovative overall concept: The jar and outer packaging have been perfectly coordinated. The jar has been finished with ALUFIN® KPW XU, MAT: 10125759. The outer packaging has been lightly embossed and finished with COLORIT® hot stamping in terracotta and blue. The simple floral decoration on the outer packaging is reflected in a glossy version on the jar, creating a harmonious overall visual and tactile experience. The concept will be presented for the first time at the LUXE PACK Monaco 2025 and K 2025 trade fairs.

LEONHARD KURZ develops overall concepts for sustainable embellishment that begin with the choice of materials and unfold in the design.

Jar Decoration with LUXOR® / ALUFIN®: Brilliant Shine and Metallic Wow Effects

For the design of the jar, KURZ Design Management created a floral, Asian-inspired design based on nature. Flowers and leaves surround the jar and captivate with the metallic shine of our LUXOR® / ALUFIN® decors. The natural, subtle colors were created by overprinting the previously embossed areas.

 

KURZ subsidiary ISIMAT specializes in decorating hollow containers and conical hollow bodies such as tubes, jars, and glasses. With its unique Conical inLINE FOILING technology, jars can be finished to almost 360º, as in this project - whether with partial metallic effects or full-surface, bold colors. A jar which is 100% bio-based from project partner Weimako was decorated. The jar is completely recyclable after use - including the decoration.

  • The jar represents a new generation of products that combine environmental awareness, brand experience, and production efficiency
  • High product quality, flexibility, and production efficiency guaranteed for different substrates and designs
  • The ISIMAT I-series screen printing machine used efficiently combines digital printing processes with metallization in a single step

Embellished Outer Packaging with COLORIT®: Design with Responsibility

Good design means not only standing out visually at the point of sale, but also reflecting challenges such as globalization, automation, and sustainability.

The design was hot stamped with COLORIT® and impresses with its subtle muted colors and tactile high-end decoration.
