The article examines innovative technological processes and approaches aimed at increasing efficiency in the production of gaming and souvenir puzzles. The research is based on the case study of the company «Smart Paper», focusing on the systematic analysis of digital printing technologies, laser cutting methods, and the application of environmentally friendly materials in the manufacturing process. These technologies are intended to improve product quality, ensure precise fitting of puzzle elements, enhance colour saturation, and increase the overall aesthetic appeal of the products. In addition, innovative solutions contribute to the optimization of production cycles, reduction of time consumption, rational use of raw materials, and lower energy consumption, which positively affects the environmental sustainability of the enterprise. The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of implementing modern technologies in puzzle production and to analyse their impact on consumer demand, brand reputation, and market competitiveness. The scientific and practical significance lies in the integration of sustainable production principles, the promotion of eco-friendly materials, improvement of design solutions, and the development of applied recommendations for creative industry enterprises. The findings demonstrate a growing level of environmental awareness among consumers, increased interest in customized design, and confirm that technological modernization leads to lower production costs, a wider product range, higher sales volumes, and an increase in export potential.
