Thank you very much for participating in Matcha Box Design Contest.
It was very exciting to see so many people participating and commenting on the contests. We really appreciate all the input.
Here is the result from the contests with selected comments from you. We also have a link to the actual produced product with your selected design.
Since it has been a while, let me remind what the actual contest was.
The contest was simple 2 questions survey to select best-looking box design.
Here is the questions that you are being asked. (The actual form can be accessed via here and even the contest is closed, you can still submit your selection if you wish)
Now let me share with you the reason why we needed the design at the first place when our matcha tin can has been very popular and has been in production for a very long time.
The reason: We are getting into Amazon.
Yes, we have decided that Amazon being preferred shipping carrier for many of the customers, we wanted to try out and see if our products can be shipped via Amazon service via Prime. (It is called FBA - Fulfillment By Amazon)
We are still learning many things about how Amazon works, but one of the requirement Amazon put in place was barcode. Our product has to have an Amazon specific Barcode somewhere on a flat surface.
Our Matcha Tin Can was too small to place the barcode; therefore, we decided to create a new box which can have a barcode on the bottom of the box.
Here is the actual picture of barcode on the bottom of the design of the box you picked!
Since we always involve you in selection and creation of our new products and design, we hosted a large contest to see what you like.
We really appreciate all your comments and we read every one of them.
The resulting box (you see at the end of this blog post) is taking in many of your comments on the winning design.
Here are some of the comments we received from you. The selection A-E matches with above selection of the box design.
(Sorry, we cannot feature all your comments, so we selected only few... is your comment there?)
Comments from People picked Design D
And here is the result. As you can see from comment above, Design D and E were the most popular, and we were getting many comments about these two designs.
Was your design the winner?
FYI, my selection was A, so mine wasn't the winner. 😞
The reason why we waited long for the result to be announced was that we wanted the product to be ready for you when we announce. Sorry, it took long time as we had to produce the box and figure out all the Amazon logistics for shipping etc. It took a while, but it is here.

I have been doing some research to uncover some purveyors who may offer good green tea options in countries outside Japan and the United States. I want my customers to have an alternative to our premium tasty Japanese green tea matcha and sencha if shipping costs from our company to their country would be prohibitive.
