The design of cigarette packaging has an impact on public health. To minimize the attractiveness of cigarette packages, many countries have created strict marketing regulations. Australia was the first country to introduce plain packaging on cigarettes. Among several regulations, Australia mandates the use of an unappealing color called Pantone 448 C. The australia cigarette packaging manufacturers are required to use this color on all cigarette packages. Ruenfo is a cigarette packaging designer that uses Pantone 448 C to produce cigarette boxes that meet the Australian standards.
What Is Pantone 448 C?
Cigarette packaging is assigned the Pantone 448 C dull olive brown, which is the least aesthetically pleasing color to the mass public, referring to it as the ‘ugliest color’ in the world. This color is supposed to draw attention to the unattractiveness of such colors. Project owners hypothesize that the removal of bright colors, logos, and images would ensure that the target clientele would be unresponsive to the packaging, mostly the youth, increasing the likelihood that they would become smokers. Consequently, it would decrease the chance of them smoking. This color forms the basis of the plain packaging law in Australia.
Ruenfo’s Role in Australian Packaging
Ruenfo’s plain cigarette packaging business strives to meet Australia’s strict requirements. The company understands the requirements around the use of Pantone 448 C and makes sure every box is painted in the correct color. Ruenfo also makes sure that the legal requirements are met in text, fonts and health warnings. Packaging may be basic, but Ruenfo is proud to use strong and durable materials. Australian law specifies that the packing must allow the cigarettes to be protected and the materials must be of high quality. This attention to detail enables cigarette brands to market their products in Australia in compliance with the law.
Customization Within Limits
While legislation governing plain packaging restricts design alternatives, thoughtful customization remains a possibility. Ruenfo has partnered with cigarette manufacturers to produce packages that are professional and aesthetically pleasing while following legal stipulations. For different kinds of cigarettes, different-sized and shaped boxes are available. For the construction of the cigarette pack, the materials may include sturdiness and pack construction, tactile and visual qualities, and the materials' surface characteristics. Although design constraints exist, all of Ruenfo's packaging remains compliant with the use of Pantone 448 C. Compliance with standards and the preservation of quality are equally important to manufacturers and their end users.
Health Warnings and Text
The use of Pantone 448 C on cigarette boxes is not the sole consideration. Health warnings are equally important to the overall design. Under Australian law, warnings must dominate the front and back of the pack and include gory pictures depicting the health impacts of smoking, including lung disease and cancer. Text warnings such as “Smoking kills” are printed explicitly on the top and sides of the box. Ruenfo ensures the text meets place, alignment, distortion, and legal requirements. Messages dealing with the health risks of smoking are clearly stated and further supplemented with Pantone 448 C. These messages teach the public contradictory risks of smoking.
Quality and Compliance
Plain packaging may appear simple, but delivering QSR and Compliance is not simple. Ruenfo employs quality, durable, and strong materials to safeguard and protect cigarettes during transport and storage. Compliance and reliability are both boxes. The correct use of Pantone 448 C is part of quality compliance. Poor color choice or layout mistakes are potential costly legal issues for cigarette brands. Ruenfo’s knowledge and experience with Australian regulations help in avoiding such problems. Value-adding packaging solutions rely on high-quality resources and strict regulatory adherence.
