About BeeHacchee Tarts Packaging
BeeHacchee is a packaging design for a honey cheese tart. The box is hexagonal and recalls a beehive, giving visual form to the honey concept. The package is formed from a single piece of cardboard and measures 224 mm in width, 195 mm in depth and 44 mm in height. Kraft paper gives a casual and approachable impression, while a yellow border printed across the surface adds contrast. Yellow printing on kraft paper is difficult, because the color sinks into the paper, so a highly skilled printing partner was engaged to achieve the intended result.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Package design for Honey Cheese Tart. Yellow printing was applied to kraft paper, which is generally considered difficult to color. Since the concept of the cheese tart is honey, we designed a hexagonal cardboard box that represents a beehive.

- Production Technology
- The main features and difficulties of this package were the hexagonal design and the yellow coloration on kraft paper. The hexagonal shape worked well because I was able to use pizza boxes as a reference, but for the color, printing companies generally dislike yellow color on kraft paper because the color sinks into the paper. However, we were able to find a printing company with a high level of technology, and this design was realized.
- Design Challenge
- In general, printing companies do not like to manufacture difficult This time, "yellow printing on cardboard" also tends to be avoided because the color often sinks and does not come out as desired. However, with the cooperation of our highly skilled paper container manufacturing partner, we were able to complete the package just as we had imagined.
- Research
- In order to get the target audience to purchase the product from among the countless sweets available, it had to meet the requirements of being impactful, casual, and photogenic. So we paid attention to the shape, color scheme and design of the package, and it became more widely known.
- Inspiration
- Since this is a casual product, I designed and packaged it in kraft paper, which is used for cardboard. Since the concept of the product is honey, I designed it in a hexagonal shape to resemble a beehive, with a yellow border for impact.
