eneloop series storage packaging for EC (e-Commerce)

The marketplace has changed significantly since the release of eneloop in 2005 with e-commerce rapidly overtaking main-street sales. This shift has influenced how eneloop is marketed with conventional point-of-sale messaging stripped back to reveal the minimalistic beauty of its packaging. Made from eco-friendly PET sourced from recycled bottles, the package doubles as a storage case to protect the batteries when not in use. The design evolves again to enhance portability while retaining the same environmentally friendly recycled polyester as a base material. This refreshed packaging puts form, function, and aesthetics together to best protect the customers’ investment while minimizing the impact of waste on the environment.

eneloop tones earth

eneloop tones earth was a two-year branding project that ran from 2018 to 2019 under the theme CYCLE OF LIFE: life cycle and reincarnation. The battery label design is based on a soil-and-earth motif that describes how fallen leaves return to the soil as compost to nurture new life again. The design raises awareness about the issues facing our environment and the importance of life. Once opened, the reusable packaging works as a portable battery storage case. In line with the “earth” theme, the package material comprises biodegradable resin that breaks down naturally after disposal: a unique fusion of functionality and sustainability. Furthermore, the eneloop batteries inside the pack are pre-charged with solar energy at the factory.

In tandem with the eneloop tones earth project themed CYCLE OF LIFE: life cycle and reincarnation, eneloop tones botanic features a plant motif that follows the life of plants from seedling to defoliation. As with the biodegradable resin used for the eneloop tones earth package, the eneloop tones botanic package comprises biodegradable biomass PET sourced from all-natural materials. The portable case is designed to protect the eneloop batteries when not in use, and to further the message of the importance of life and the environment, they come pre-charged with solar energy and are ready to use immediately after purchase.

Product Design Category
Judges at iF Design Awards 2017 recognized the superiority of eneloop rechargeable Ni-MH batteries and how these unique products have led a shift toward sustainable energy. Each cell can be reused 2,100 times with around 70% energy retained after 10 years in storage. The tones ocean package design reflects a “sea glass” concept, with colors reminiscent of waves washing on a beach. This represents a need to preserve the world’s natural beauty by minimizing waste and exploiting sources of renewable energy. Differing shades serve a practical purpose by allowing users to identify charged and non-charged batteries, and each cell ships pre-charged with solar power.

“A product that deals with issues facing this generation, and one that exemplifies long-life design for the future.” That was the judges’ assessment at the 2016 Good Design Awards as eneloop received Long Life Design 2016, an accolade recognizing products that contribute to a better world by lasting longer, reducing waste, and creating value. Noting how eneloop is improving people’s lifestyles to the mutual benefit of the environment with expansion into 80 countries and more than 370 million cells shipped, the judges said eneloop’s low-self-discharge and reusability deliver economy and efficiency while reducing waste associated with disposable batteries. This is the eleventh Good Design Award eneloop has received since launching in 2005.
