Sun Bum

Yellow-capped paper stick with printed grain and mascot

The selected SPF50 face stick uses a narrow paper cylinder with a bright yellow cap and a tan wood-grain print. A stacked rounded producer mark sits above the yellow ape mascot, followed by a large 50 between fine horizontal rules and smaller functional wording. A dense Drug Facts panel is visible around the right side. The official page confirms an FSC-certified paper tube; the grain is decoration, and the product’s water-resistance wording is not evidence that the package is waterproof.

Color Palette

Approximate colours interpreted from photography. These are screen references, not official brand colours or print specifications.

Pack body

Tan printed grain
#E1AF7C
Approximate warm tube appearance with darker vertical grain lines. This is a wood-like print on a source-confirmed paper tube, not solid wood.
Bright yellow cap
#F8EC78
Large uninterrupted top block, repeated in the mascot face. Lighting creates paler highlights without an additional ink specification.

Ink

Dark brown identity
#50321F
Rounded producer, mascot outline, protection number, rules and dense side information.
Darker grain accents
#C99469
Fine vertical texture within the tan printed surface; no wood species or natural veneer is implied.

Typography

Suggested visual alternatives, not confirmed brand typefaces. Any scale below is an illustrative estimate.

The rounded Sun Bum name is stacked above the mascot, creating a familiar identity group near the upper front. Below, 50 appears as the largest functional number between two thin rules. Smaller lines identify Sunscreen Face Stick, Broad Spectrum SPF50 and water-resistance wording. A net-weight line sits near the bottom. The adjacent Drug Facts column uses dense small sans serif text with ruled sections, keeping the more technical register separate from the playful front.

Structure & Proportions

Visual proportions and finish previews are illustrative. Confirmed construction details and uncertainties are distinguished in the study notes.

Proportions

Purpose	Value	Preview
Cap block	The tall yellow cap occupies a substantial upper portion of the slim cylinder and is easily distinguished from the patterned body.	—
Front identity stack	Producer and mascot share the upper front, with the number and descriptors below in a narrow vertical sequence.	—
Side information column	A dense ruled panel wraps immediately around the right edge, showing how limited circumference is shared between identity and full information.	—

Shapes

Element	Value	Preview
Paper tube	Tall narrow cylinder with printed grain and a flat-looking lower edge.
Yellow cap	Matching-width cylinder covering the top, closed in this view.
Mascot region	Rounded yellow character face with a heavy dark outline.
Number register	Large 50 between two thin horizontal rules.

Formats and materials


Formats	A narrow cylindrical sunscreen stick in a closed paper tube. The selected lower front shows a 0.92 oz / 26 g net-weight line, partly adjacent to the holding fingers.
Materials	The exact official page states that this stick uses an FSC-certified paper tube. That certification is scoped to the tube statement, not automatically to every hidden component or outer carton., Cap construction, internal liner, barrier, adhesive and product-advancement assembly are not specified in the accessed evidence. Printed grain does not establish wood, bamboo or veneer.
Closures	A tall yellow cylindrical cap covers the upper product area, with a clear boundary where it meets the printed body. The stick is closed and held in a hand, so the open product, base mechanism and cap interior are unseen. A push-up or twist-up action is not assumed.
Decoration	Vertical wood-like grain runs behind the producer and utility text, creating a warm visual material cue on the paper tube., The yellow mascot face repeats the cap colour, linking a functional closure to the printed identity. Fine rules isolate the protection number below that character.

Front Panel

Schematic reading order. The diagram’s zone heights do not represent measured artwork proportions.

A narrow front column carries the playful identity and the main protection number, while a dense rectangular Drug Facts panel wraps along the right side. The faux grain continues behind both. Yellow repeats only in the cap and mascot, so the rest of the text remains dark and direct. Thin rules make the number a separate functional register within the otherwise vertically stacked identity.

Zone	Content
Cap colour block	The bright yellow top is visually plain, helping the opening region stand apart from the detailed body.
Producer and mascot	Rounded stacked lettering sits above a large yellow face with dark outline. This pair occupies the most expressive part of the front.
Protection and category	The large 50 is isolated between rules, followed by smaller face-stick and broad-spectrum wording. These are recorded as visible label identifiers, not independently tested claims.
Side facts and bottom weight	A ruled Drug Facts panel is partly visible on the right, and the net-weight line sits near the base. Fingers and curvature prevent a complete transcription of the side panel.

Range System

The official page distinguishes the paper-tube SPF50 format from other face-stick and face-and-body options. This selected design should therefore remain tied to the paper-tube product rather than merged with a familiar plastic stick of another protection level. The page also refers users to an outer carton for complete labelling, although no carton is visible in the approved cover.

An original material update can preserve recognisable front structure while clearly identifying the new format. Keep the component specification attached to the correct product so a paper version is not confused with another package using similar colours.
Repeating a cap colour inside a mascot or symbol creates cohesion on a small cylinder. Use an original graphic and ensure the practical number remains readable independently of it.

Back of Pack & Shelf

A partial side Drug Facts column is visible, but the full reverse and referenced outer carton are absent. The image supports its existence and ruled structure, not a complete reading of all directions or warnings.

Use a full rotation and carton image before documenting the complete information system.
Verify the base mechanism before describing how the stick advances.
Keep the FSC tube claim separate from assumptions about cap, liner and carton composition.

On shelf

The yellow cap and mascot should be the strongest recognition pair when the image is reduced, followed by the isolated 50. The tan grain gives the body a warm character but can reduce contrast for the smallest dark text if reproduced too strongly. This is visual interpretation rather than a consumer or handling test. An isolated neutral front and open-stick view would complement the hand-held cover for detailed packaging comparison.

Imagery

A hand holds the closed stick upright against a plain cyan background. This gives a useful sense of relative portability without providing measured dimensions. The fingers cover part of the lower and right-side copy, while the yellow cap, mascot and large number remain clear. Cyan belongs entirely to the photographic setting. The scene does not expose the product itself or demonstrate the opening and advancement mechanism.

Guidelines

Editorial principles for an original design brief, not official brand guidelines.

Do

Scope the FSC statement to the specified paper tube.
Distinguish formula water resistance from package water tolerance.
Keep the large number separate from the mascot.
Use full rotation imagery for the dense side panel.

Don't

Do not call printed grain solid wood or bamboo.
Do not infer a push-up or twist-up mechanism from the closed stick.
Do not claim every component is paper or plastic-free.
Do not treat the cyan background as a package colour.
