RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Throughout the packaging design, we have always emphasized that nature is the essence of the product. Don't use too many design techniques or gorgeous illustration methods, only use the simplest design language to show the attributes of the product.
CHALLENGE: Throughout the design process of the package, we have been pursuing a natural design, pursuing packaging that best reflects the characteristics of Biluochun tea. Gorgeous illustrations were not used in the entire design, instead simple lines were used to outline the geographical location and tea-producing environment of the Meaninghall brand.
