[Award Details]

'GiDORAX for Cockroaches' - Japan Federation of Printing Industries Chairman's Award

<Jury's Comments>

An e-commerce exclusive cockroach extermination spray. While eliminating cockroach illustrations, the design of glossy, scattering ink intuitively conveys its effectiveness. It is presumed to be a category difficult to harmonize with daily life, but it seems to alleviate the hesitation about where to place it. Additionally, it uniquely adopts shrink wrap for an aerosol can, with a textured finish that makes it non-slip and easy to hold. Both in terms of design and functionality, it achieves a package that is easy to use even for those who dislike insects.

'OsuDake No-Mateless' - Pharmaceutical Division Award

<Jury's Comments>

Conventional paper backing and blister packaging have been eliminated, significantly reducing packaging materials. To compensate for the reduced area, instructions for use and features are provided in a mechanism that can be accessed by opening the attached label. The simple color scheme and design, which do not resemble typical insecticides, blend well with interiors, making it truly innovative.
