A logo that reveals the fabric of a garment. Lettering that offers a glimpse of the product. A cartoon character whose face is created using different levels of transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With SiOPack\u00ae, these designs are created directly in the paper. The technology enables selected areas of glassine paper to be made transparent using flexographic printing. Product visibility thus becomes a customisable element of brand identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For brand owners, private labels and converters, this opens up new possibilities: they can decide where the packaging offers a glimpse inside, what shape that insight takes and how transparent individual areas should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transparency becomes a design tool<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n On packaging with a viewing window, branding and product visibility are often designed separately: the printed artwork communicates the brand, while the window reveals the contents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SiOPack\u00ae brings these two functions together. The logo itself can become the window. Lettering, symbols and distinctive characters can also be created as transparent areas directly in the paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The design possibilities extend beyond the shape of a window. Different levels of transparency can be created within the same package, and even within a single motive. Some areas provide a clear view of the product, while others allow it to show through more subtly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This allows attention to be directed towards specific product features: the colour of a textile, the texture of a fabric or a detail that matters to the purchasing decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Transparency is created directly in the paper<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n SiOPack\u00ae selectively increases the transparency of suitable glassine papers in the treated areas. It is applied using flexographic printing. The remaining areas retain their original appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No waxes, resins, oils or polymers are needed to create the transparency. This design also removes the need for a separate window film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The key distinction is the ability to create transparency locally, precisely where the packaging design requires it. Different grades of glassine can serve as the base material. The choice depends on the desired appearance and the requirements of the individual package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This adds a new design function to flexographic printing: alongside the printed artwork, the transparency of the paper itself can be selectively designed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Children\u2019s clothing illustrates the possibilities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The accompanying design visualisation shows how this approach could be used for textile packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the paper bags, a friendly cartoon face becomes a viewing window. The colour and texture of the fabric inside are visible through the motive. Facial features with different degrees of transparency illustrate how several transparency levels can be used within a single character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The garment size is clearly printed on the paper. This brings three functions together on one package: the character creates a recognisable identity, the transparent motif reveals the product, and the size marking makes it easy to identify the correct size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A brand can use its own visual language for this purpose, such as a mascot, a distinctive symbol or its lettering. Private labels can also use this approach to create a consistent packaging design across different products and sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The images show a design concept. How clearly a motif appears in practice is assessed using the intended paper and the actual product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New applications for converters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For converters, this creates an opportunity to expand their offering with bespoke transparency designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They can offer their customers packaging in which transparent logos, lettering and motifs are created directly in the paper. Different levels of transparency within a single package provide further scope for customer-specific designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The process is carried out on suitably equipped flexographic printing presses. On suitable bag-making machines, it can also be integrated directly into production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SiOPack\u00ae supports implementation with its technology and established expertise in flexographic printing. The base paper, motif and processing conditions are tailored to the application together with the converter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This turns a design idea into a practical packaging application for brand owners and private labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A new opportunity for paper textile packaging<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Product visibility is an important packaging function in the textile sector. Ideally, colour, material and design should be recognisable from the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paper bags with selectively transparent designs therefore also offer opportunities to replace conventional polybags in suitable applications. At the same time, they can convey a brand\u2019s identity through logos, characters and bespoke motives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether this type of paper packaging is suitable for a particular product also depends on protection, strength, closure and processing requirements. These are considered alongside the desired design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your brand shapes the view<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Applications for intellectual property protection have been filed internationally for the SiOPack\u00ae technology and selected design implementations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The design possibilities range from transparent brand lettering to characters featuring several levels of transparency. The key is that brand identity and product visibility can be designed together, directly in the paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For consumer brands and private labels alike, SiOPack\u00ae turns your brand into a window onto your product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are ready to bring your packaging designs to life together with your converter, using our technology and expertise in flexographic printing.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A logo that reveals the fabric of a garment.
