Brand Goal
Create a custom bust tape measure that combines the practical function of "instant size identification" with brand aesthetic texture: helping consumers quickly and accurately confirm bra sizes to reduce purchase difficulty; meanwhile, strengthening the brand’s professional image through exquisite color-blocking design, making the tape measure an effective interactive carrier connecting the brand and consumers, and enhancing user loyalty.
Challenges
Strategic Color-Blocking: Alternating light/dark color zones must be strictly aligned with bra sizing thresholds, ensuring consumers can intuitively match their sizes, requiring extremely high precision in color positioning; Dual-Purpose Design: Merging the practical function of instant size identification with brand visual aesthetics, avoiding conflicts between functional markers and appearance design, and balancing practicality and beauty; Calibration-Safe Execution: Controlling the thickness and uniformity of the coating during color printing to ensure that color application does not obscure or interfere with the tape measure’s scale, fully preserving measurement accuracy and safeguarding the product’s core measurement function.
Solution
Implemented UNIQLO’s unique color-coded sizing system with pixel-perfect precision:
For color-blocking needs, high-precision digital printing technology was adopted. Based on the exact Pantone codes and zone measurement data provided by UNIQLO, the transition boundaries between light and dark colors were perfectly aligned with bra sizing thresholds, enabling the convenient "color-to-size" recognition experience; In terms of function integration, the color zones for size identification were naturally combined with brand visual elements, and color contrast was enhanced at key size nodes to ensure consumers could quickly read information while improving the overall design sense of the tape measure; The printing coating formula was optimized, and thin, high-adhesion ink was selected to ensure that the clarity of the tape measure’s scale and measurement accuracy were not affected after color application, balancing function and aesthetics.

"Wintape’s execution efficiency and precision in the custom bust tape measure project are impressive. They accurately implemented our color-coded sizing system, with color blocks perfectly aligned with bra sizing thresholds. It not only helps consumers quickly identify sizes but also perfectly preserves the tape measure’s measurement accuracy, providing strong support for upgrading our product experience."
