UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This tea packaging focuses on promoting body lightness and beauty, aiming to give consumers a direct sense of lightness through its design. We illustrated the herbs and flowers contained in the tea on the packaging and used a traditional winding method, which not only highlights the product's uniqueness but also keeps packaging costs low. In terms of color, we chose a light palette to reflect the product's characteristics.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This project enhances sales by improving product packaging to attract consumers. The goal is to showcase Eastern tea culture and convey a light, healthy feeling through design. Market research and customer interviews were used to create eco-friendly, light-colored packaging. The design improves the sensory experience, differentiates the product in the market, and strengthens the brand. It reduces costs, boosts appeal, and supports sustainability with recyclable materials and reduced printing.
CHALLENGE: The biggest challenge in the project was to express Chinese tea culture through packaging and showcase the product's slimming and beautifying features. We consulted numerous ancient Chinese texts, found the winding packaging form, and addressed the issue by illustrating herbs and using light colors.
