I first designed the labels for Triops Galaxy breeding kits in autumn 2020 and produced the first kits. The design has remained unchanged since then, although I had been thinking about a new one for several years. I wasn’t just concerned with the appearance; I wanted the label design to be more functional and offer added value. My primary concern was to make it easy to download the breeding instructions in digital form using a smartphone. I wanted to move away from printed paper instructions and take a modern, environmentally friendly and innovative approach.


After designing the new look in November this year and announcing its launch several times, the time has finally come. From January 2026, every Triops breeding kit from Triops Galaxy will be shipped with the new, modern label. The label contains a QR code that allows budding Triops breeders to easily access the breeding instructions directly online and also download them as a PDF file. This significantly reduces resource consumption. Less paper means less waste and more environmental protection.
Open your smartphone camera, scan the QR code, view or download the instructions. It’s that simple.
