RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Packaging design can try new cross-border breakthroughs. Only the change of material and structure is too conservative, the packaging design should boldly integrate pop art, culture and fashion elements. The main research direction of this work is to miniaturize the art installation and implant it into a gift box. Art installation can improve the aesthetic level of products and increase the expression form of design. Different art installations can provide space for business owners to express their commodity ideas, business beliefs, user care or other non product contents, so as to increase the functionality of packaging.
CHALLENGE: This work is designed for commercial use, so the final product needs to meet the requirements of mass production, suitable for express transportation, no harm to children and pregnant women, artistic expression and reasonable cost control. Based on the above requirements, the main difficulty is to overcome the obstacles of product structure design and material selection.
