Consultation Details

This project involved creating the label for Minabe Craft Umeshu Yii. Given that it is a premium umeshu, they also wanted to produce a sealing sticker simultaneously. They requested that embossing be applied to the label to evoke a sense of exclusivity. The printing was specified in a Special 3-color process, and they desired a material with a natural texture. Additionally, they requested to proceed with mass production only after reviewing a prototype.

Our Proposal

We proposed using “Washi Cotton” as the material. Its naturally textured finish, including slight ink bleed inherent in the printing process, creates a craft-like impression that complements the product better than coated paper. Although embossing on washi cotton is not highly prominent, we committed to applying maximum pressure to reproduce the effect, and confirmed the raised texture with a prototype. As the label is applied by hand, it was delivered as a sheet-cut product.
