Strategy / Identity / Print
- Creative direction: Anyhow
- Art direction: Anyhow
- Design: Anyhow
Nichiban is Japan’s largest adhesive tape manufacturer. We defined the brand DNA for their stationery division and renewed the packaging design for their core product, Nice-tack. The use of colour codes helped to visualise their many product variants, qualities and advanced technology. The result was increased clarity and sales for a practical product for everyday life, married with the highest technological standards.
