Visual System Design of Textile Packaging Guided by Sustainability

Abstract

With the rapid development of intelligent manufacturing and digital information technologies, sustainable packaging design has become increasingly important for improving resource efficiency and enhancing visual communication in modern textile systems. Advanced digital visualization and interactive information presentation also provide new opportunities for future smart packaging and sensing-oriented applications. To address the limitations of conventional textile packaging in environmental sustainability and consumer perception, this study proposes a systematic visual design framework guided by life cycle assessment (LCA). Environmental impacts throughout material selection, production, transportation, and end-of-life treatment are quantitatively evaluated to identify key optimization opportunities for reducing resource consumption and carbon emissions. By integrating ecological design theory with visual communication principles, a sustainable visual identity system is developed using recyclable material symbols, infographics, and green color psychology to strengthen environmental recognition and brand awareness. Packaging structure optimization is further combined with virtual modeling techniques to improve material utilization and transportation efficiency while maintaining visual consistency. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed design strategy significantly enhances consumer recognition of environmentally responsible packaging and improves aesthetic evaluation, while simultaneously reducing environmental impacts and promoting recycling performance. The proposed framework provides an effective methodology for sustainable textile packaging design and offers useful references for intelligent visual information presentation, digital interaction, and future smart packaging systems supported by advanced communication and sensing technologies.
