A newspaper you can plant? It’s real-and it’s brilliant! 🌱 Back in 2016, The Mainichi Shimbun-one of Japan’s biggest daily newspapers-published a special “Green Newspaper” edition printed entirely on biodegradable, plant-embedded seed paper using plant-based inks. After reading, the instructions encouraged people to tear the paper into small bits, plant them in soil, water daily-and watch herbs and pollinator-friendly flowers bloom within weeks. This impactful innovation was developed collaboratively by Dentsu Inc. alongside The Mainichi, guided by their motto: “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” 🌿 Why it mattered: 👉 Printed in 100% biodegradable paper embedded with seeds like poppies, daisies, herbs 👉 Made with recycled materials and vegetable-based inks 👉 Encouraged schools across Japan to use it as a hands-on educational tool about recycling 👉 Circulated to over 4 million readers and generated around ¥80 million (~USD 700K) revenue "Printed for Greenery Day on May 4, 2016… embedded with seeds that would grow into flowers to attract butterflies and other pollinators-or herbs to eat." Some users shared concerns: “Most of the seeds are crushed during printing… it’s probably just a marketing gimmick.” But overall, the initiative sparked widespread admiration and conversation globally-showing how a single printed page could inspire new thinking about environmental design. 🚀 How this story works for India: ✨Readable innovation: What if reputed Indian dailies printed periodic seed-paper editions? ✨Educational value: Schools could distribute them to teach recycling and sustainability hands-on. ✨Branding impact: A powerful narrative linking media, eco-awareness, and tangible action. #GreenInnovation #EcoFriendly #SustainableLiving #SeedPaper #MainichiShimbun #CircularEconomy #PlantableNewspaper #ClimateAction #india LinkedIn The Mainichi Newspapers

Touch, Don't Tap. Not every interaction needs a QR code. We've reached a point where "interactive" packaging often means unlocking an app, scanning a label, or being funnelled into a brand's idea of fun. And sometimes that works. But the best interactions don't always need tech. Some of the most powerful packaging moments come from low-tech touches that feel just right. Think chocolate boxes with raised patterns or skincare packs that mirror the texture of what's inside. The kind of detail that pulls you in before you even realise it. It's about sparking curiosity. Creating a moment. Making someone want to look closer, hold on longer, or peel something back just to see what's there. Moço Wine Branding demonstrates this beautifully with 3 Rios Wines. The label peels away to reveal the story behind the bottle. A slow, tactile reveal. Three rivers. Three grapes. Alvarinho from the Minho. Loureiro from the Lima. Avesso from the Douro. A label that maps the blend and brings the origin to life. Simple, layered design that turns a bottle into something you want to explore. No screens. No codes. No instructions. Smart storytelling delivered through paper. High-tech or high-touch? What's your preference? 📷Moço Wine Branding/Hugo Pinheiro Print

How to stand out AND stand for something at the same time 🎉 Mandatory Spirit Co delivers packaging innovation that embraces sustainability but still makes an impact on shelf. Switching from glass bottles to a ‘bag in a box’ is a better solution for the environment: 🍃 Glass is heavy, cardboard is lightweight. Lighter packaging creates fewer emissions in transit. 🍃 Square shapes are generally more space efficient than round bottles. This helps to further reduce emissions, as you can fit more on a pallet, more in a truck, and ultimately, have fewer trucks on the road. 🍃 Less waste to landfill. Glass and cardboard are recycled at a similar rate in Australia. Even including a light layer of plastic, this solution weighs less and ultimately puts less packaging material into landfill. The box design stands out on shelf for three reasons: 👇 ✨ Against a wall of glass, a cardboard box acts as a pattern disruptor ✨ Glass reflects light, sometimes obscuring labels or making them difficult to read. Cardboard absorbs light, ensuring clear and legible information ✨ The box design has a larger surface area for print, allowing for bright colours to form a ‘block’ on shelf and provide a strong presence. However, there is one major ⛔ challenge ⛔ in this packaging approach! A cognitive phenomenon known as ‘shape bias’. 🔻 Shoppers go into store searching for a particular shape of an object and may overlook items that do not match that shape. This bias is a result of the brains tendency to rely on familiar cues and mental models to streamline information processing. 🧠 In this example, Mandatory Spirit Co has countered this bias with clear labelling. There’s no second guessing what’s inside the box. “Be clear, not cute” is always a good rule to stand by in your messaging. Well done to Mark C. and the team. 👏 This is a case study of innovation that you could apply to almost every FMCG category and I hope more entrepreneurs keep delivering in this area. ~~~ Follow me @ Brent Vrdoljak for regular FMCG marketing tips & insights.

What is Digital Textile Printing? Digital textile printing is like printing a picture from your computer, but it's on fabric instead of paper. Unlike traditional methods like screen printing, where stencils are created for each design, digital printing allows you to print designs directly onto materials using digital files. Who Uses Digital Textile Printing? 1. Fashion and Apparel: Many custom t-shirts, dresses, and bold streetwear designs use digital textile printing. Fast fashion brands, in particular, rely on it for quick turnaround times. 2. Home Décor: Think of curtains, cushions, or bed linens. Companies can now create vivid, unique patterns not limited to mass production. Designers can play with colors and complex designs on-demand, making home décor more personalized and eco-friendly. 3. Sportswear: Sports apparel, often made from synthetic fabrics, requires vibrant and durable prints. Digital printing excels here, providing detailed designs on materials like polyester that are traditionally hard to print on. 4. Soft Signage: Used for retail displays, banners, and flags, soft signage relies on digital textile printing for high-quality, large-scale prints. This method is faster and more affordable, especially for visually striking displays. Why Is Digital Textile Printing Beneficial? 1. Customization: With traditional printing, bulk orders were needed to keep costs down. Digital textile printing, however, allows customization at a much smaller scale—even just one item. This ease of customization is why brands are leaning into digital printing to meet customer demand for personalized products. 2. Eco-Friendly: Traditional printing methods can be wasteful, using large amounts of water, chemicals, and leftover dyes. Digital textile printing is more precise, reducing water and ink usage and minimizing waste, which contributes to its eco-friendly appeal. 3. High-Resolution Designs: Intricate patterns, gradients, and photo-realistic images are easily achieved with digital textile printing. This high-resolution capability is something that traditional methods struggle to replicate. Future Trends 1. Sustainability: It is expected to become even more popular due to its eco-friendliness. Advances in biodegradable and water-based inks could make the process even greener. 2. Smart Textiles: The future might see digital printing being used to print not just designs but also functionality onto fabrics. Think conductive inks or materials that change color with temperature, opening up exciting possibilities for wearable tech, home décor, and healthcare. 3. Expanding Industries: Beyond fashion and home décor, digital printing is likely to grow in industries like automotive (custom car interiors), healthcare (custom hospital fabrics), and architecture (textile-based installations). #DigitalTextilePrinting #InnovativeTextiles #SustainableFashion #TextileTechnology #BusinessOpportunity

The first time I presented a research poster… I stood next to it like a proud parent. A great poster doesn’t just display your research, it starts conversations. Over the years, I’ve picked up a few tricks that actually work 👇 1. Start with your key takeaway Don’t bury your main point, put it right up top. Let people know what they’ll walk away with. 2. Use visuals over walls of text Graphs, icons, and diagrams grab attention. Long paragraphs? Not so much. 3. Design for “drive-by readers” Most people glance at posters while walking. Can they get your message in 10 seconds? 4. Use large fonts + good contrast Readable from 5 feet away = your new golden rule. 5. Practice your 1-minute pitch Have a short, clear summary ready. If someone stops by, hook them fast. 6. White space is your friend Don’t cram. Breathing room = clarity. 7. Design for 3 zones Far: Catch the eye. Mid: Guide the story. Near: Dive into details. 8. Be approachable Smile. Ask visitors what they work on. Posters are two-way streets! Want to create stunning, science-ready posters without design stress?
