High-Speed Offset's Floral-Inspired Tsubomi Package

Introduction
In a world where unboxing experiences can turn an ordinary gift into a memorable moment, High-Speed Offset Co., Ltd., based in Osaka, is setting a new standard with their latest project, the 'Tsubomi Package.' This initiative is part of their ongoing 'Idea Ideas' program aimed at broadening the expressive capabilities of print products.

The Concept Behind the Tsubomi Package
The driving force behind the Tsubomi Package was a desire to elevate the presentation of gifts, transforming the act of giving into something extraordinary. As the package is opened, it evolves gracefully, mimicking a flower blooming from a tight bud. This innovative design aims not just to contain a product but to enhance the overall gifting experience.

Unique Design Features
The Tsubomi Package design is inspired solely by flowers. Initially sealed, it reveals its beauty once the ribbon is untied, slowly expanding as if a flower is blossoming.

Crafted from tracing paper, the flower section of the package showcases a delicate aesthetic, while the leaves are made from two different types of specialty paper, Tracing Paper and Prima N-FS, tested in prototype production. This decision adds a unique texture that differentiates the components while maintaining harmony in design.

Innovative Printing Techniques
The creation of this prototype involved utilizing cutting-edge sheet-fed printing technology, expected to be fully operational in 2024. This not only encompassed coloring on tracing paper but also involved embossing tests with specialty papers. The results were stunning: the pastel hues of the tracing paper convey a charming transparency, enhancing the package's appeal.

The prints on the Prima N-FS leave a striking visual impression, as the design melds seamlessly with the paper's inherent pattern. Meanwhile, the tracing paper prints come alive with vibrant colors, promising a high degree of design excellence—a testament to the team's creativity and technical abilities.

For an extra touch of sophistication, ideas like simulated embossing can be applied to represent dew drops, offering further design refinement. The testing phase explored how colors appear during printing and assessed the folding durability of various paper types, ensuring the Tsubomi Package meets both aesthetic and functional standards.

Commercialization and Custom Design Opportunities
Currently, the Tsubomi Package is a concept prototype under development. High-Speed Offset invites inquiries regarding commercialization at their official contact point. Additionally, they welcome discussions around original designs and printed products, expanding the realm of what custom stationery can achieve.

Mission and Vision of High-Speed Offset
