Luggage Tag-Inspired Packaging

MEC's 'Travel Light Series' Has Virtually No External Packaging

The Travel Light Series is from MEC recently got an update that allowed for most of its packaging to be removed to allow the products fold into themselves to show off their compact nature, cut costs and at the same time, minimize their carbon footprint.

The refreshed packaging design for the travel-friendly bag series is minimal and takes inspiration from baggage tags, which wrap around the designs. These slim strips of packaging help consumers to quickly and easily identify the different sizes and styles of bags available in the Travel Light Series with images and large blocks of text. Even once the luggage tag-inspired packaging has been removed, the key formation can be seen printed on the fabric of the lightweight travel packs.
