Island Leaf

Island Leaf Tobacco Wraps is a Bahamas-based brand looking for packaging that felt as relaxed and sun-soaked as its home. The full-bleed tropical illustration — sun, palms, ocean, and a cheeky iguana — wraps the entire bag in that atmosphere.

The bag is printed on a metallic substrate, available in gold or silver, and the illustration is designed to let the metal show through in strategic areas. The sun rays on the daytime bag and the crescent moon on the nighttime bag are the metallic substrate itself — no ink, just gold or silver shining through. It’s a production technique that communicates the quality of the leaves before the customer even opens the bag. The two bags share the same illustration world and the same production logic — just opposite ends of the day.
