RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Nowadays, people began to buy their beloved luxuries constantly as the living standards improved. The motive behind this phenomenon is people’s desire for delicate future and upper class society life. Luxuries usually have very strong personal coloring and hedonism, bringing people great pleasure and huge enjoyment. Luxuries are closely connected to art and fashion, seen as an expression for national identity. A real luxury should also contain profound history, humanity and technology, giving people a feeling of enjoyment and delightfulness. Luxuries should highlight individuality while keeping their specificity, bring consumers a unique shopping experience, trigger their emotion/memory and eventually drive them to buy the product. So it is very essential for a high-end packaging designer to create a sense of ritual, which is the important bond between consumers and luxury goods, also the characteristics we are pursuing for. Packaging is the first carrier beyond products that consumers get exposed to, which determines the product sales. People will buy things just because of some feeling. A good user experience will determine the consumers’ choice of products.
