The shelf
is the only
honest critic.
The shelf decides, not the studio.
Every reduction is judged where it counts: would your product still be picked up next to its full-color rivals? If it holds at one meter, the brand held.
Why not
cut the ink
now?
If naphtha comes back tomorrow, you keep a sharper identity. If it doesn't, you already moved first.
INK REDUCTION · FAQ
Questions
we get a lot.
Straight answers about our ink-reduction packaging service. If something's missing, write us a brief.
Will my brand stay recognizable?
Yes. Each level is built around your brand mark, key icon and color hierarchy. Your DNA stays, the ink and the clutter go, not the brand.
How do the three levels work?
One line, three levels of ink reduction, from a light trim to full monochrome. You pick how far to take it; the studio refines the chosen level with you.
Do you store my files?
We don't keep anything you don't send us. If you share a product to discuss, we use it only for that conversation and never share it.
What inks do you suggest?
Colors from your brand by default. If you want to change one, just ask. We can match a Pantone once you are working with the studio.
Will it print well?
Previews are directional. The studio produces the final press files with you once a direction is chosen.
Is this an Archeco product, or an Archeco studio offer?
It's a studio offer. This site shows what ink-reduced packaging can look like, from a light trim to monochrome. The work itself is run by our Tokyo team: design, production files, and shelf-legibility checks.
Can I get production files?
Production files are handled by the studio once you confirm a direction. Previews stay directional.
Why reduce ink?
Most packaging carries 4 to 6 inks it does not need. We reduce in three levels, from a light trim to full monochrome. Depending on the level and the printer, print costs usually come down by 50 to 70%. That is a working range, not a promise. The brand stays where it was.
