In accompaniment to the reveal of the latest modular building, LEGO ICONS Jazz Club (10312), LEGO have announced that the instruction manuals are set to change appearance!
The current darker background manuals will change to a more lighter one for 2023 sets, this is to coincide with the introduction of paper-based bags. Read more about it below in the official stay from the LEGO Group.
Official statement:
“As our fans have noticed, the covers of building instructions for many of our sets underwent a re-design this year with exception of our LEGO® sets for adults. Starting from 1HY 2023, building instructions for adult sets will also feature re-designed covers with lighter background prints. The redesign of building instruction covers is connected to our move to paper-based bags in our boxes. A lighter background print ensures that we maintain our very high quality standards. In this case, that the visual appearance of the paper-based bags is not impacted by potential ink marks caused by friction between building instructions and bags during transportation.”
